@creepypeoples Looks fake

@DomWarner @AndreaTheSissy @fasc1nate They generally are, and defects are reported to the relevant water authority for repair/ maintenance.

@plumbers_urban Orange flame and no smoke! Probably fake

@NthrnCyclistTVL @syptweet Possibly an MOD plate tho, part of a motor pool not registered with normal channels

@willireallyam1 @cyclist13 @WarksCyclist There was clearly ample opportunity after impact to fend off/block access to road/ preserve safety and dignity of the cyclist 🚴‍♂️

[Andy @ndy_liggett]

@willireallyam1 @cyclist13 @WarksCyclist That’s the point! Protect the (probably) injured cyclist

@SarahAnnEgan Not getting off road/out of the way immediately for emergency services. A pet peave of mine after a couple of particular incidents.

The more I hear from the Covid enquiry, the more I think that the PM and the majority of ministers did not have the intellectual tools necessary to understand scientific advice and therefore to be able to weigh it successfully alongside economics, social science etc. In my view this can be traced to educational failure - they weren’t taught or didn’t learn the basics of science alongside their chosen disciplines. This also applies the other way round to scientists of course. Breadth of knowledge is key, as well as specialisation / expertise, and I don’t think our system delivered that in the 80s and 90s when I (and they) went to University - whether it does that today is an open question. I think we need to be producing more polymaths.

@BasilBr31034632 @bolderston_mark Prob not, but mine handled a lot better than my mk 2 escort

[Andy @ndy_liggett]

@hondaman1963 @bolderston_mark Lol. I had 2x2 electrical trunking hold the inner guard together on mine

@micheal_olainn @ETSC_EU @aidanodr Exactly! Newtons law of motion, who’d have thought 🤷🏻

The Pale Blue Dot is an iconic photograph of Earth captured by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990. Taken from a distance of around 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as Voyager 1 was departing our solar system, the image portrays Earth as a tiny, pale blue speck in the vastness of space. This image is a powerful reminder of our planet's isolation and fragility in the cosmic expanse, highlighting the need for responsible stewardship of our home. The photograph was a result of astronomer Carl Sagan's suggestion to turn Voyager's camera back towards Earth, offering a profound perspective on our place in the universe.

@crakpotchris86 @MikeyCycling The thing is they just don’t afford any protection from cars. Do some research, you’ll see.

[Andy @ndy_liggett]

@nwex @MikeyCycling 🤔 they didn’t always. I’m thinking it’s because helmet manufacturers do a lot of the sponsoring in tdf and it’s another platform for them to advertise on.

@treborp_eel @ChrisMonk2021 @CyclingSurgeon @roadcc Use your initiative and don’t get into that situation. It endangers vulnerable road users.
