@santanderukhelp Hi folks, Can you confirm whether 0330 9 123 123 is genuine Santander phone number? Can't find it listed anywhere on your website and it's just similar enough to appear genuine. Scam or no scam?

Today feels a lot like christmas. Except the best kind of christmas where you buy yourself the presents you really need/want. 😎 #ItsBeginningToLookALotLike #TABR

New coffee day! 😃

Nyantira AA 🇹🇿 from @TheBeanShopUK. Out the bag aroma of cooked lemons & milk chocolate. Bright acidity & instantly moreish; definite lemon meringue pie flavour with a darker caraway note towards finish. Very yum! ☕

@dozerman @the5krunner @fourputtjojo @Wiggle_Sport I'm needing to get GPS computer for navigating ultra-endurance event in June, but no experience with any so far (beyond G.Maps on my phone). Pleased to read all the positive comments on Wahoo Roam, might have to dive in on that one... Thanks!

@Dog_in_a_hat @Wiggle_Sport Happy they work for you. Different folk have different experiences. I had low confidence compounded by problems. If they work for you, great, keep at them; but not for me. Great to have confidence in your kit and so free to enjoy the ride. 🚴🏻🙂

[Stuart Campbell @_StuartC_]

@Dog_in_a_hat @Wiggle_Sport Yeah everyone says that. But the residual glue sludge made that impossible. Had to take them back to shop for cleaning and refitting with tubes. Definitely not roadside fixable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Stuart Campbell @_StuartC_]

@cyclegaz @Wiggle_Sport Nope. My DT Swiss' are tubeless specific. Couldn't get tubes in them for all the residual glue sludge, had to take them to local bike shop to get properly cleaned out and refitted with tubes, so hardly roadside fixable! Maybe great for mtb/gravel but not for road bikes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I constantly find my mind comparing the awesome Cru Beaujolais I drink these days against the unbalanced & estery generic Beaujolais found in most shops 10 years ago. Improvements indeed and now a hugely under-appreciated region. 🍷

[Alder Yarrow @vinography]

After tasting through a tranche of cru Beaujolais over the past couple of weeks, I am reminded that none of us are drinking enough Gamay. What a delight. Such a high percentage of the wines were delicious and easily recommendable. Can't say that about most wine regions.

I'm out! 😱 Without doubt one of my favourites from @TheBeanShopUK. Finca Muxbal 🇲🇽, medium roast: Good body, milk-chocolate & nutty notes with a fruity underbelly.

@WilliamNB @CycleNott Blend them in Will, just don't go overboard. Get your designs out here.

That said, I generally don't buy t-shirts with designs on them, more a simpleton me.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Then select Sports Equipment from the drop-menu titled "Optional Product and Service Options".

[Stuart Campbell @_StuartC_]

Dear @AirCanada, Can you please update your website to display fees for carrying bicycles on your flights.

I really don't think you mean for "Kids travelling alone" to be regarded as "Sports Equipment". 🤦🏻‍♂️🚴🏻

@iknowdaspots @WineFolly Get up to Calistoga and go visit @TankWinery - honest, experimental (very uncommon grapes feature in their blends!), unpretentious & incredible wines. Then pop over to @RidgeVineyards too.

@WineEssence That was a new one to me, thanks! 30mins of happy region researching done. Cencibel (aka #Tempranillo) dominance, should make for interesting alternative to #Rioja. Only 8.20am and I'm thirsty already..! Now to find UK supplier. 🍷

[Stuart Campbell @_StuartC_]

1) Decide. 2) Set off. 3) Keep going.

Some great advice which I mostly ignored 5 years ago, and most of which will be ignored this summer too. But equally some bits did stick then, and now. Good short read at least!
