@irishpeloton The fact that MVdP wasn’t shown on the screen for more than a handful of seconds over the last two laps while the camera focused on the rest of the field tells you all you need to know. I think we probably saw more of vandeputte…
@Morrisons I’d have to check… which I was trying to do. I bought fuel today though. Should I wait for 72 hours and see if that turns up?
It’s a bit disconcerting. Would be nice to see a message “your shop on 26th didn’t earn any points” rather than “something has gone wrong”.
@fmk_RoI I think they just ruined it. I was on about getting 1 out of every 3 right with the original game. This just dropped off completely when Spotify took it over. No point in doing something you can never win. I suspect I’m not the only one who had that experience.
@nedboulting Gradually weening myself off the car. It’s more of a burden than a pleasure. Live in a rural location with no direct bus to the nearest train station. But now down to a single car in the family and about 3,000 miles a year. Would be elated with a decent public transport system.
@CatJarman I’d love something comparative - what was happening everywhere at the same time. Could pick a world wide event like a volcanic eruption (536?) or a plague (541?) and how those impacted different regions/civilisations. Or just the interfaces between different cultures.
@nedboulting @cyclingweekly You’re still asleep. In fact, this is part of the dream. You don’t actually have a cycling weekly column. You’re not even in Calais. You’re still asleep in your suburban semi just outside Slough where you will shortly be heading in to the tax office where you work. #monday
@plasticfreeAdam Twitter decided that this was a post I would be interested in, so notified me about it. I imagine it’s happening to a lot of people - more than retweets. But It’s more interesting as a test of how many use twitter to be offended or to be amused. Fwiw I thought it was amusing.
@ianwalker I don’t wear them. Optician asked me if I did a lot of hill walking as I have UV damage to eyes. Said I should wear them. All I will say is that I am way way way beyond the life expectancy at birth of other animals with similar eyes and habitat
@Hudsonweather I think I bumped into @Hudsonweather at Harewood house once years ago. He had an limb in a pot if I recall correctly. Probably hit by an anemometer, I thought.
