If you have a trip or a fall in public, pretend you meant to do to avoid any embarrassment.

I feel like we all saw this crisis coming. It’s discussed in my book, numerous interviews I’ve done, podcasts, lectures etc…

Tomorrow is the Geoff Bewley memorial cyclocross race at Stadt Moers Park in Whiston, it's great to watch and there's racing on throughout the day starting with the kids and ending with the seniors at 14:45. Weather forecast seems to be in keeping with the usual conditions too!

Your annual reminder that not going through with this cursed clocks charade could save households an estimated £400 a year on their energy bills, save the UK a projected 450,000 tonnes of CO2, and save parents of young children weeks of sleep deprived agony.

I am sorting my dashcam footage from last couple of month and got to my car journey from Glasgow to Helsinki and I thought it can show you nicely what Brexit means

@mattharvey07 @ESPNF1 Very weird take from Horner, very weird.

Maybe it’s been taken out of context of the rest of the conversation.

💷 “A football team that pays £60m for every full-back it buys…”

🤯 “City lost £210m in 17/18! See how many other clubs do that!”

👀 “Look at 5 1/2 seasons, City’s net spend is -£440m! Liverpool’s is -£200m!”

Simon Jordan insists #MCFC do spend far more than #LFC and others!

@A_Bit_Rich @10DowningStreet Don't get me wrong - a windfall tax on fossil fuels should be 1st on any climate-conscious Governments list - but this should make renewables cheaper than non-renewables... as they should be.

[Col @frayers101]

@A_Bit_Rich @10DowningStreet It's to try and de-couple the cost of renewable energy with the cost of non-renewable. Currently the price increases in electricity generation from fossil fuels (caused largely by gas) has meant wind / solar / hydro produced elec has also increased. It's a bonkers system.

[Col @frayers101]

This is… insanity

[Stephen Flynn @StephenFlynnSNP]

Today, in the UK, the typical annual household energy bill rose to £2500.

Tonight, in Scotland, 0% of our electricity is being generated by gas.

Yet the price of gas dictates the cost of electricity.

Time for change.

@laurencyclist @theJeremyVine @ldnparks @London_Cycling @MikeyCycling Like cyclists, one bad egg doesn’t tar the whole bunch.

Hate it when the vulnerable road users are at one another. Mostly motorcycles close passing cyclists where I live. As someone who does both, I’ll never, ever understand it.

Did you know this is what the numbers on radiator valves mean?

0 = Off
* = heats room to 7°C before tuning off
1 = heats room to 10°C
2 = heats room to 15°C
3 = heats room to 20°C
4 = heats room to 25°C
5 = heats room to 30°C

Mind blown 😂 @theheatinghub @heatgeek
