Coach, trainer and speaker working in education and the corporate sector. Proud to represent Blood Cancer UK as an ambassador. Also take the odd photo.
@ShimanoROAD pretty disappointed that my #Ultegra#R8000 chainset has failed. 2 years 3 months old. I know. The warranty is 2 years. But look at the tooth wear. Not been abused. Always cleaned. Never had #shimano kit fail like this. Any help appreciated. Ta.
@WestYorksPolice this at Buckstones Carpark on the A640. Lots of nice shiny metal surfaces to take fingerprints off. Guaranteed to be in your system; a certain type of mind thinks this is OK. If they can afford a car & all this gear, they can be traced. Also DUI. @MarsdenmoorNT
@MarkVale20 hey Mark, @UPS have lost a package of mine. It was a faulty item being returned to the EU. It was stuck in customs for 3 wks. Returned for reasons unknown. And now lost. Zero support from your service people. It's worth ยฃ1000. Any chance of a bit of help?
This is how they to get you. Continue to pedal the "Schools are closed" line whilst expanding the key worker list, then make unveiled threats around funding for our youngest children. Several schools I work with have more than 50% of roll in school. #edutwitter#ToryLies
I am screaming this from the rooftops. We are being FORCED to open our nurseries to all pupils, even if we think it is not safe, or lose our funding for those children for the year.
@Cumbriapolice you've got it all on dealing with the detritus that's mobbed your beautiful county but if you send a patrol down lakeside road from Hawkshead Ferry nab towards Strawberry Gardens it might stop idiots blocking the road & leaving piles of human faeces everywhere ๐
@WestYorksPolice New Hey Rd A640 is being used by every psychopath in the county for their own TT races today. 2 obvious demographics: Idiots in RS3s & idiots on race bikes. Don't even socially distance at 90mph let alone standing still. Nearly killed my other half. Do something.
@KirkleesCouncil As per usual absolutely no help. The last time this happened we were told to speak to the site manager ourselves. Because that's a great way to resolve breaches of highway and environmental laws. You'd get a lot more public support if you stopped delegating your responsibilities.
Jacob Rees-Moggโs Company Accounts show cยฃ103M profit over last 5 years, but paid ZERO UK corporation tax.
The tax he should have paid, would give every kid on free dinners 3 meals a day for the full summer holidays with plenty of change.
Marcus Rashford has written a powerful column for The Times: calling on MPs to U-turn, and reinstate free food vouchers for kids who will just not eat this summer without them. He sounds more statesmanlike than our statesmen: https://t.co/07FvmnmVcY
I try to learn something every day. I feel a lot richer for having watched this beautifully simple film and reading a little about Matt's uncle, Peter Norman. If, like me, you're feeling overwhelmed by the seemingly growing injustice in the world, watch this to recharge.
@WingmanPictures That's a beautiful piece of work Matt. I'm 40 years old & I'm probably more disillusioned than ever by the way in which humans treat one another based on the most shallow measures. It can be easy to forget that there are remarkable people like your uncle. I stand with him & you.
Today I learned...
The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)
Even if I'd had the means, I'm not sure I would have had the courage or wisdom at his age to do what Marcus Rashford is doing. Retweet below. Trust me, it's not hyperbole to say that kids are going hungry every day in England. Don't forget, they're kids & it's NEVER their fault.
@DouglasCarswell Nothing like rewriting a bit of history eh Dougie? Learned from Bojo? Virtually none of this is true. Not outlawed until 1806 and even then continued in several African colonial states for several decades more. But hey, we live in the post truth era so screw it. #Slavery#BLMUK
Boris Johnson happily believes the public has now completely forgotten the report into Russian interference in UK politics publication of which he suppressed last year
RT and let him Know heโs wrong

What happens when you allow your papers to print hate speech in 60 point font every week of every year and these views are amplified and endorsed by the Prime Minister and his hateful fan club of ideological racists? Simple. Divide and rule. Works every time when you allow it.
@laurenlaverne@BBC6Music Listened to Van Morrison's delicious Into the Mystic this afternoon. Perfect accompaniment to a cold beer on a sunny day after a week of busted clouds. If it doesn't make you smile then you're trying really hard no to ๐๐ผ #cloudbusting
