The less grumpy bit of @beztweets that's all about riding bikes. And other things. So not all about riding bikes. Can barely find time for it these days anyway.

@WesternDigiCare Hello. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks :)

We’re fundraising, walking 13 miles in filthy weather! Please visit https://t.co/ASzwBh6A75 to help our friend Ann convert her house so that Sebby can live more easily in it (or, less importantly, to vaguely reward my two reluctant offspring for getting cold and wet). Thanks 👍

@redbullracing Has Christian still not remembered the comments he made when Max and Lance collided at Portimao last year?

@halidecamera Hey there. Since upgrading to Halide II and iOS 14 on my iPhone SE (2nd edition) I can’t seem to take raw photos: I consistently get the message “Couldn’t communicate with a helper application” and the image is not saved. JPEGs work fine. Any advice? Thanks.

@DVLAgovuk Hi. Any idea when your phone line (for V5 issues) will be working again?

@Mythic_Beasts Hi. A question about domain registration/transfer: do you support both auto-renewal via PayPal (or credit card) and Whois privacy via proxy details? (I realise GDPR made the latter theoretically redundant, but… belt and braces and all that.)

[Bez @mashing53]

@Al__S Indeed. I think he needs something solid to activate his brain.

[Bez @mashing53]

@Al__S To be fair, I remember one engineering lecture at uni where the lecturer rounded Pi to 2 🙂

[Bez @mashing53]

Well, this is awkward. @1ookmumnohands have sent stickers that match @TheRideJournal’s bike, not mine 😀

@VecchioJo Rejected lines from Starfish and Coffee?

@Raouligan Looking on https://t.co/MaicReBO3w it seems it’s an Intercité from Paris, the fare is €15 and there’s a mandatory €10 reservation for one of the four spaces for a fully assembled bike. Tidy. If you’re taking the Eurostar to Paris that’s a different ball game 😉

[Bez @mashing53]

@Raouligan Mornin’ 🙂 Yeah, only done it a few times I think: 2008 as a bike and 2010ish and 2015 in a bag. Local/regional trains (RER etc) differ from TGVs. What route are you thinking of?

@samuriinbred You do know you can tell Amazon not to use an item for recommendations, right?

[Bez @mashing53]

“This product is really good. I give it two stars.” Fuckwit.

[Bez @mashing53]

@VecchioJo Bah. I even checked it for replies! (And I’m always a day behind these days, I normally only see anything that Twitter decides to shove into my notifications tab.)

I’ve always thought that “shitting through the eye of a needle” has connotations of accuracy and finesse that are somewhat at odds with reality. Why do we not use the phrase “firing a jug of Bisto through a basketball hoop”?

[Bez @mashing53]

If anyone was planning on pointing out that it’s because the two cultural reference points in that metaphor each belong either side of the Atlantic, piss off, I’m ahead of you.
