Now a ghostly remnant of my former self. I really need to spend less time online and more time on my bike.

Block early, block often, don't waste your energy or your time.

THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST POST ON THIS ACCOUNT.

I am absolutely sick of the trolling and abuse that I get as a woman on social media. Bsky was different but now it is turning into another Twitter.

So this post is my farewell. I will miss you, well most of you, mainly cycling peeps.

In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew

Ye are many – they are few.’

The global elite, the 1%, want us to hate one another.

Divided we fall, they win

United we win, they fall.

It’s not rocket science. Don’t give in to them. Don’t let them divide us. It should be us vs them and we will win.

There is something seriously wrong with the world and in particular the men of the world. However we have got to this point where men are publicly beating women and children over race, over religion, or politics, in America, Israel, UK and anywhere else IT HAS TO STOP.

My best friend is in a Critical Cardiac Care ward. Over the last three days I have seen nurses treat him wonderfully. Those nurses have been Irish, Somalian, Nigerian, Slovakian and French. One of his cardiologists is Mexican.

Now, imagine the NHS under the new actions proposed by politicians

One thing the Travelodge has over the Premier Inn - Travelodge allows dogs.

Its an extra £20 but at least you can take your pal in their pet friendly rooms

Travelodge get you to pay £3 a day for Wifi, for up to 3 devices, but when you activate it it becomes 2 devices and you have to pay another £1 a day per device thereafter. This is on top of the £3 day car parking charge. And of the cost the cost of the room

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.
I’m surprised you don’t use ai answer engines in research you currently do with Google

You’ll recall that the selling point for organising our societies like this is that this is the best, fairest and most efficient way to determine value and allocate resources

Salmon wasn’t used in sushi until the 1980s when Norway produced too much salmon and launched ad campaigns in Japan to sell some of their excess fish.

The BBC bias problem:

Naga Munchetty - suspended, reinstated 2019 (alleged anti Trump comment)
Nish Kumar - cancelled in 2020
Mock the Week - cancelled in 2022
Frankie Boyle - cancelled in 2023
Gary Linekar - cancelled in 2025

In the 1st six months of 2025, 22.7% of news was Farage
12.6% Lib Dems

Millionairs CEOs telling everyone they're so shit at their jobs and running their companies they can't afford to pay staff a decent wage is not a good look BBC News, no matter how you frame it.

Interesting discussion last night:

You have to live under a dictatorship, yes I know you’ll join some resistance thing, but you have to live under one. Who do you pick Trump or Putin?

£12.99 to get a digital photo for my replacement passport

Changing my name and getting a new passport will cost me over £100

Women are constantly being penalised by the government

We have to pay more and get less, considered tax payers at a higher rate for being married and not allowed benefits
