Car nerd. Frequent bicyclist. Views not my own but those of a large Boxer cross. Cheltenham but I try my hardest not to sound like it.

@twisteddoodles @scottygb There are only two types of biscuit. Bourbons, and inferior biscuits.

@Muinchille @HeleneBismarck Is Twitter in any way about “disagreement and other mindsets” any more though? Or is it countless anonymous blue tick accounts posting “lol pwnd cuck” on everything? When was the last time there was a civilised exchange of views on this platform resulting in one party conceding?

@Harri_Est Just a sock puppet grifting for engagement, not worth the time of day imo

@kanalowroclawiu @Rebel44CZ @Jonpy99 is a good follow on this topic

Wow that is some impressively shit driving

This dangerous overtake on double white lines (A358, Taunton) was captured on #JourneyCam & reported via our portal.

Heard at Bath Mag. Court 10/24 where driver pleaded guilty by post resulting in:
5 points
£202 in fines/costs

The outcome could have been so different! #Fatal5

@FightingTalk316 @bbc5live @rickedwards1 @Reece_Parkinson @Nethaneel @GuvnaB @felicityward @BBCSounds Also a travesty that Jordan Ayew, Hee Chan Hwang and Josh King never made it into the same team. Ayew-Hwang-King could have got everyone excited.

@FightingTalk316 @bbc5live @rickedwards1 @Reece_Parkinson @Nethaneel @GuvnaB @felicityward @BBCSounds I have never been a fan of VAR but I feel like it’s needed on this show after Felicity somehow won with the worst DTI since Eddie Hearn…

Also, I would like my own contribution to “players who should have been a combination”

@Only9built @MttRbnsn @BMW_UK I don’t disagree that pricing is a bit silly but you’re miles off with the talk about margins. BMW down 3 percentage points on target this year, per the most recent earnings call. Same for Merc and VW. Nobody can keep pace with the vast cost of developing connected EVs

🚨🔴 Rúben Amorim can be considered new Man United manager, confirmed.

Portuguese coach will start new #MUFC chapter during the international break;
documents to be signed this week.

Contract until 2027. Sporting to receive €10m clause — plus €1m for staff/30 days notice.

@cyclingweekly Totally agree. I am pretty sure bike spaces were created specifically to put people off taking their bikes on trains. It is utter horseshit.

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@davidclasszar Harry Amass can do it. Just needs a chance.

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@FightingTalk316 @rickedwards1 @Reece_Parkinson @Nethaneel @GuvnaB @felicityward Strong line up! Good to have the Guvna back.

My Q2, driven by obvious recent events: Who’s the best ever Portuguese import to the Premier League?

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@StuartHumphryes That photo in the promo of the Paris expo (I think?) with the Michelin balloon is one of my absolute favourite things you’ve ever posted on Twitter btw

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@StuartHumphryes Lovely job - Christmas gift for mum sorted 👍

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@AutoBant Nice spec but it'd still look better without the fat ass

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@nickcarthew @AdamCrafton_ Wouldn’t wish it on the poor bloke

[Russell Gowers @RussellGowers]

@nickcarthew @AdamCrafton_ Can't disagree with facts - mid table team. But "root and branch reform" happened already since Ragnick. (Mostly) objectively good players bought in, suddenly forget how to play football and look like donkeys. How can you reform for that? Needs proper modern coaching.
