@Tesco aims to be Net Zero from its operations by 2035. Good luck with that. Our local just fully refurbished. Great, the freezer and fridge doors will now shut. Nope. A month later and 25% jammed permanently open. Getting the small things….wrong.

This is heartbreaking. @Tommo33s was a giant on the pitch. (I was at the final in 2003 cheering my beloved @wallabies ). But he’s standing even taller now. More power to you Steve.

World Cup winner Steve Thompson has hidden away memorabilia from his rugby career after struggling to remember the moments they represent.

@anitaclark @CactusCocktail @nytimes Lol! Smiling here….but I’ve literally never ever heard in that context. I reckon my tradie mates would look at me very strangely if I called them that!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

@MarinaHyde Absolutely nailing it (but with plenty of lols!) Thanks @MarinaHyde

...and I'm pleased to say that my first visit to @MoleseyBoatClub involved setting a world record!

[Molesey Boat Club @MoleseyBoatClub]

So, two more World record times set today… 5hrs 42 & 6hrs 02 for 100k tandem team.
Amazing effort not only by the 4 rowers, but also their support team 👏👏👏

@Peter_Fitz October 28? And it's virtual? Might join you!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

My old mate @Peter_Fitz in Australia (midnight!) dominating the @BritishRowing @asensei #BRVC21 over 60 500m - ahead by 15m with 200 to go…link drops! Gutted! Winning time 5 secs slower than his last training piece. 🥺

[David Dix @Dixie509]

Anyone know how to watch #BRVC21 ? @asensei and @BritishRowing says it’s streamed, but no link obvious….

[David Dix @Dixie509]

@ScottAnnett1 @CURUFC Well deserved Scotty. 👍

@danleo82 I read it flying over the Andes on a tour of Argentina and Chile. About three of the cabin crew stopped to question my reading choice. :). Made me enjoy the next game a bit more!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

Looking forward to being back in the @ErgosZoom hot seat tonight hosting for the @MoleseyBoatClub Leg-Ends sesh! 2x15 pyramids. You know it makes sense... leave room for the fab @naturalphysio1 sesh afterwards. Perfect evening!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

How cool to have a session led by a World Cup gold medalist - won the previous day! Only with @ErgosZoom thanks @imogendaisyg @CUBCsquad

[David Dix @Dixie509]

Another excellent @ErgosZoom sesh this lunchtime with fellow Aussie @DarrylPreston64 Great way to set me up for the last sprint of the working week!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

Happy 501 to @ErgosZoom ! Another top sesh tonight with @MattBrittin and @AdrianEllison17 Just like in the boat ...”is that 500 done already!?” Chapeau!

[David Dix @Dixie509]

Great fun this weekend with @RacetheThames with @MoleseyBoatClub 's Leg-Ends and delighted to support the fantastic @LYRowing ! 1 k to go.....

[David Dix @Dixie509]

@100Tacker100 @WillGreenwood @StephenFerris6 @ErgosZoom @rp3rowinguk @RP3usa But being an actual (good!) rower is kind of cheating. 😋👍
