For the tubby pissed up Hull City fan slagging off Newcastle outside the bar on Osborne Road. It's Jesmond, kidda. You'd wind more people up round there if you slagged off Surrey.

Apparently England were trying to keep their hotel secret Mexico City but Mexican fans found out. Wonder what tipped them off?
Green bus with a big English flag on it and England written on the side arrives at a hotel in Mexico City.

Ok, it's not David Attenborough style camera traps, but our hedgehog is back. Thought we'd lost him or her.

Nice out at 7am so I did a tour of Newcastle's parks on me way to the Ouseburn this morning. Gosforth Central, Leazes, Exhibition, then Heaton. Bikes man, they're great. Can't do that in a car.

I don't know if it's the weather or fuel prices, but there do seem to be a lot more cyclists commuting in Newcastle right now. The whole range, middle aged management consultant on his 8 grand carbon road bike to student on her knackered omafiets. Hope it continues.

Why don't you people use the cycle paths? Just nipping into Gregg's edition.

Full house. Pavement parking, bike lane and double yellows. What a star. Great North Road, Newcastle, about 6.45 this morning.

Beaches in Northumberland are getting too crowded these days.
Big empty beach in Northumberland (except for one person).

Bialetti Moka coffee maker. Not even bought by me but by my gran when visiting family in Italy in the 60s. It's basically indestructible. Future civilisations will dig them up and wonder what they were for.

Why don't you people use the bike lanes?

Now I think about it, I *am* a member of the "would rather have a cycle lane than get knocked off my bike by some cretin looking at their phone while driving at 40mph" community.

Seriously man, what is the "cycling community"? Am I also part of the "nipping out to get some milk" community? Or the "going for a quick pint after work" community? The idea there's some sort of organised "cyclists" group really does my head in.

Quick tip. Had a clicking noise when pedalling for weeks now. Was 100% convinced it was pedals or bottom bracket. Took it all to bits, cleaned, oiled, tried some old pedals, nothing worked. Just about to get bike shop to try when I saw a yt vid saying try lube on seat post clamp. It worked.

OK, report or don't report? Dry, bright and sunny, so I had time to slow, and I don't want him to lose his job, but it's not good, is it?

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Quick stop on the way home. Come on, better than sitting in a traffic jam, isn't it? You know it makes sense.

No, no, after *you*. After all, you bought a big car. I'll just brake hard, not a problem.Hi-viz, two front lights, almost full daylight and I'm still invisible.

Ok, found my cycling limit this afternoon. Got overtaken by a blue wheelie bin near Salters Road. It's a bit windy.

Closest close pass for a long time. Richardson Road, Newcastle, heading towards the RVI. Scary. You can see me wobble, then the next car shows exactly how it should be done. Don't report very often, but come on...
