Cambridge seem moderately good at instead using "narrow lanes - no overtaking cyclists" signs (or words to that effect.

Honestly I still miss you being on the other end of the user-admin address!

Not that I've just spent the last few weeks trying to make sure our department's new undergraduate at postgraduate students all have appropriate IT access to our systems as well as university systems, including students whose course starts a week early and ones on a joint course with another uni.

I just sat up sharply on reading that. I thought I was getting beyond surprise here.

I love the term "zero player game" for this! Other somewhat better board games: Sorry.

I actually played a game of snakes and ladders last summer with my sister and one of my younger nieces (her other auntie) which I enjoyed *enormously* because it was so ridiculous. The snake to ladder ratio was all wrong and the dice were mean and it just kept going. It should have been awful but...

"But you can't carry (a fridge, your grandmother, the christmas tree, a cement mixer) on your bike!" Well, in many cases: yes you can. But even if you can't, so what? It doesn't stop bikes being useful for other things, even if it's only for other people. It's not some total gotcha.

To be fair using "agent" to be a bit of software which sits around doing something for you is something which has been around a lot longer than current AI fads. I think there are at least three different monitoring agents on my work laptop. More travel agent than secret agent.

Playmobil used to do quite a good toy ark you could accessorise with gold paint?

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Having failed to find a sensible alternative on their system (earliest available was Saturday 17th, but I wasn't sure if I was free) I said I'd book something online when I got home. Checking all 5 "Boots Cambridge" branches - Sawston have a slot at 12:30 on Friday 9th after all. 🤞

I am even more ridiculous. Having forgotten to set an alarm to leave the office on time I was a bit late setting off, but cycled hard enough to set several PBs on Strava and got to Boots in Sawston only 1 min late. For an appointment in a week's time. FFS. I won't even be here next week!

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees
