Recommendations for new walking boots anyone? The Meindl boots have finally let me down after 10 years.

I'm thinking about buying an electric moped. Anyone got one?

It's my birthday!

Rather than fish for donations, for every response saying "Happy Birthday" I will donate £5 to charity up to a max of £500.

Go!

This is a combined X and Blue-sky thing, £1000 is a but much!

Prediction for 2028.

Elon Musk stands for President of the United States.

It's so fucking obvious what he's doing.

I'm still using "the other place", but getting more and more hacked off with it. Today's gripe is a constant pop up screen on mobile offering me 40% off premium. Thanks Elon, but nah, no thanks.

Had to fill up the car today, gutted I didn't make the last tank full last 2 months like usual, fell 3 days short. Fuming!

I appear to be getting quite a few random follows followed by a DM. It's difficult sometimes to decide whether to follow back or not!

On a positive note, gained quite a few cyclist and active travel followers, they always get a follow back.

I have given up confronting these idiots. I’ve just reported it to the police. They actioned the pavement blocker so I suspect this will attract a similar response. There’s no excuse for this whatsoever.

If you see this sort of thing, take photos and/or video and report it if you can.

Weather is rubbish so made some coasters with our pets names on. An hour later I have requests and now have another 12 to make 😂

It's been so long since I was out on the bike I'm in danger of being one of those "avid cyclists" with a bike like this.

I need to get back into commuting on 2 wheels.

I'm slowly but surely moving over here, I now use X mainly for trolling the trolls when I'm bored.

She's still stuck there, three and a half hours. I'd be fumin'
The other half is stuck on the M6 behind a lorry on fire. She could be there a while!

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
