25 years ago tonight a brown eyed-boy nervously said hello to closeted me in a Soho bar. As some try to erode our horizons, love doesn't win. It exists. And that is the victory. Happy silver to my best friend, my soul mate & my smile. Thank you for choosing me to talk to

@joncstone Alleluia, I've had to break the law at that Harrow Road junction every week for decades. Finally following the rules of the road won't be suicidal.
@benjyminty@BCCletts@willnorman TfL's contactless/Oyster system is superb. But separate charges for rail/bus/cycle hire limits choices for last-mile. Many European cities do a flat fare for 60 minutes on all modes of transport - that could include cycle hire :)
@InstituteGC Trouble is, 'magic tech' like carbon capture and new nuclear is decades away (like it has been all our lives). So the fossil fuel-filled "short term" gap will be decades unless we continue to fill it in with renewables. @Ed_Miliband@energygovuk https://t.co/vT8UOfwa5d
@BobFromAccounts@millarpresident To be fair it's got better over the months since the road markings were corrected and drivers got used to slowing down for the crossing.
@kurt_hauk @Orwellsghost28 It's not an e-bike (which can't do 30+), it's an unlicensed moped and therefore illegal unless off-road. Still, ramming a kid with a tonne of car is reckless and illegal as well.
Interesting take from down-under, explaining how investing in magic tech like Nuclear (and Carbon-Capture) mostly benefits the fossil fuel industry who'll fill the void for another 20yrs. UK take note. @DonnachadhMc@Keir_Starmer@RachelReevesMP
@milankloewer@charlie_baker23@SpontraineousUk Airlines intelligently discount prices to ensure all flights fly nearly full. Train Operating Companies are paid to run trains to a contractual schedule and price list pledged in the franchise bid. Nobody is bothered about filling all the empty seats on off-peak trains.
@lewis_hardwick@APPGCW Totally doable but the app owners desperately don't want to imply any care/responsibility/employment of their independent delivery contractors and their equipment
@DevaPete@roadcc Or maybe usage increased with 50% more cyclists + 30% more pedestrians because they finally felt safer separated from motor traffic. Dutch roundabouts work.
@ZoneOContention@BBCSheffield Accident rates increased as usage increased: 50% more cyclists + 30% more pedestrians. They are the safest, most efficient junctions possible without tunnels/bridges. Cambridge and the Dutch are constantly reviewing it.
