I'm at an age where I listen out for & identify elements of funk, soul & disco in all sub-genres of rock. On that note, Medium Medium, how have I never heard of them before?

A reminder #HIGNFY returns next week. Aside from the labour conference, I've a feeling the Man City news will be the other big story of the week. If so, I'd love to see Ian Hislop get that one.

It's late(ish) #September & the temperature outside right now, can be best described as boiling, not muggy. It was cooler in the daytime as well.

No #parkrun today. A cold & engineering works have forced me to suspended the tour until next week. Photos from last week: Reading Green Park map & from the fortune cookie at the Chopstix in the town.

1st time on GWR's much maligned IET's. Funny smell.

If it was any worse, the house would've gone in 60 seconds.

The #Parkrun tour continued today. This week, Oak Hill in Barnet. Far from hilly apart from a slight gradient, but a good one to do.

I know the #ITV showing nothing but #JamesBond over the summer weekends has become a running joke, but it's a bit early to be showing 1 now.

Wow, I can't believe it's been 29 years to the day & 1 I'll never forget. My 1st visit to Chessington World of Adventures.

Now for some post-run refuelling at Caspino cafe.

Just done Greenwich Peninsular, London's newest #Parkrun. Easy to get to, Nice & flat, great scenery & helpful volunteers. Recommended.

Rain, actual rain in North London. Oh, how I've missed it.

Also, my sister & I send our thoughts to anybody driving during the #EmergencyAlert while connected to Car Play or Auto. Your ADAS mustve been working overtime.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Anybody else just get the #EmergencyAlert. In Wetherspoons & it went off. Everybody else thought it was a fire drill.

While I commend "Five" for this commission. It'll just be a 1 hour talking head schedule filler with rent-a-gobs, detailing the chronological timeline of events & not actually answering the question. This would be the case, sans parliamentary enquiry.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Based on our experience, it's highly possible. We ditched LNR for Lumo when organising the journey to Milton Keynes. Customer experience is better with the latter.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

My 1 st on that train was Saturday, which was also full. Probably down to passengers like me heading to the festival in Milton Keynes. Though I also think the appeal of cheaper fares has something to do with it.

Had a fantastic day out in #York. Obviously, there's a lot more to see, so I hope to return in future.

Really enjoyed Electric Paradise at #MiltonKeynes 🥣 today. A good 1st music festival experience.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Be honest, I've not heard this track or aware what's charting. When this became "news" yesterday, I tested new earphones using TV Party by Black Flack & Mesopotamia by B52s. Songs released way before I was born.

In this #Odyssey parody, there's a smutty gag from Flanders as King of Troy. "Now throughout history, when people get wood, they'll think of trojans." Cuts back to real Homer laughing.

Just to clarify. Not everyone can deal with a caffeine loan & run in the heatwave, every body I'd different.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

What #Heatwave? On my way home from the weekly 5k social, with the #running club. Could've stayed home, but with so many hot days in the UK, all I can do is acclimatise. Went well though, thanks to Lucozade & Lipton.

Reading up on the reasons English speaking US viewers are watching the #WorldCup on Telemundo & not Fox, reminded me of this.

I'm at the British Library's, #InBodied museum late. Missed the scheduled talks but craft & meditation workshops all good.

Finally, the Arbeloa appointment gets announced, but why late night. Did the negotiations continue until then or was there some logic behind it? #FFC

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

It was a dream. No, #England didn't lose on pens after the match ended 3-3. It was all a dream. They're through the #WorldCup QF. PHEW!!

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

All going on in #Enfield tonight. Police helicopter doing acrobatics & a Police car racing like it's a 1970s cop show.

That's me done at #Cambridge South, the 1st new #GBR station.

Up early, only 3 hours sleep. Ready for the opening of #Cambridge South Station.

I genuinely thought they'd end the #Glastonbury special with Bowie's Life On Mars, guessing they couldn't get clearance. But Elton was good.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Sorry 2007. Haven't time travelled. Damn fingers.

Shirley Bassey's 2097 Legends set on #FortyGlastonburyGems. Watched that with my mum & found out she was a fan. 5 years after she passed, I requested History Repeating on Absolute 90's, who wanted Mother Day requests & they played it.

So hot, A/C not working in office & had to undo another shirt button. I basically look like I'm about to be arrested for eating a succulent Chinese meal. #Heatwave

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Outside in this uk #heatwave, because of a work fire drill. Going to need a lie down now. Got a real headache.

Kyel Matin @kyelm.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Glad #MockTheWeek is back in time for the #WorldCup. I remember the episode that followed England's loss to Germany in 2010 was brutal. More open and honest than any pundit at the time.

Nothing marks #GlobalRunningDay than running with this years #C25K group. Giving the same support i got last year from the run club. Thanks #Garmin & #Nike for confirming. #RunSky
