[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

@S4C @BBCiPlayer many thanks!!!

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

@S4C @BBCiPlayer I have been enjoying Cleddau Series 2, but the subtitles for episode 4 are missing from both the S4C player and BBC iplayer. When will the subtitles be added? There are no problems with the subtitles for other episodes.

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

@S4C @BBCiPlayer Thanks for getting back to me. Hopefully the subtitles will be back soon

@SimonCalder I assume the Irish Passport Card is still a valid document for travel on ferry?

[Irish Ferries @Irish_Ferries]

🚨New passport requirements Irish Sea🚨

From 28 September 2026, all passengers, including Irish and British citizens, travelling between the Republic of Ireland and Britain (both directions) will be required to carry a valid passport.

This is to ensure compliance with UK Border Force requirements relating to the accuracy and integrity of passenger data before boarding.

We encourage all passengers travelling or planning to travel after 28 September 2026 to check that they have a valid, in-date passport (or Irish passport card) before arriving at the port.

@TLRailUK Thanks Kieran.Really rail replacement buses should really be timed to leave 10 mins after train actually arrives rather than is due to arrive. Especially when no alternative for an hour. Otherwise just more delay replay claims as well.

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

@TLRailUK good morning. 06.33 from St Pancras is delayed getting into Luton, but rail replacement bus to Bedford doesn't wait for train to arrive. So have to wait for 08.27 train. Not goodthat the only rail replacement bus timed to meet train leaves before train arrives

That was a tough 20 mile run at Bedford Festival today. Going well for the first 13 miles in very not conditions. Managing tight calf muscles for last miles. Big shout out to emergency services and first aiders today in the hot weather.

A chance to take part in Kralinge Bos parkrun. Beautiful course and beautiful day and surprisingly my best ever age graded time and fourth fastest ever. Not that time important of course

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

Lovely to run the Wezenlanden parkrun in Zwolle for first time today. Another friendly well organised run - and Zwolle is a lovely little city.

Investigation good; but there needs to be a moratorium now on these debt collection processes. Why are local councils
@LGAcomms organisations responsible for #publichealth including #mentalhealth and #wellbeing allowed to do something that is so wrong?

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

V important @MartinSLewis Councils in England responsibe for public health; unmanageable debt major risk factor 4 poor #mentalhealth & ppl w mentalhealth conditions high risk of debt. Councils use rapid punitive measures & bailiffs; totally unacceptable needs to be stopped now
