@EflSimpsons @SwytchBike I got it back in 2023 but wasn’t a great experience! Promptly stopped using it and got an e-bike instead. May have improved since then though:

I’ve had my Swytch Air e-bike conversion kit for around a month now, so here are some honest thoughts that might help you if you’re considering buying one. 🧵👇 #swytch #ebike @swytchbike @helpmeswytch

Hope no-one’s too upset about the flappy thing on top of the trawler 😂

Received my programme for last week’s momentous match in the post today, and it’s a peach. Hats off to the team that worked on this! Cover paper stock is very pleasing too👌

I put it to you that this may be the most clear, audible example of a perfectly synchronised, successive "OHH!–GO ON!–OHHH" ever recorded at a football ground. From the Grimsby home crowd at 1m43s: https://t.co/yI4audndTe

Why do some TV shows on streaming platforms have the original channel continuity baked in? Surely there’s an original programme format without this that exists? I’m rewatching some Adam Curtis on Prime Video and saw this.

Almost every morning after waking up, I remove the gunk from my dog’s eyes and say “Oh there you are Peter” after rubbing his face for 5 mins. Pretty sure he loves it

@benblumenrose My deep condolences 🖤

All road users have a responsibility to follow rules in the name of safety. Drivers, cyclists, pedestrians. Design is irrelevant here: be alert and considerate and risk is severely lowered. I see selfish behaviour on the roads of London every single day, it’s honestly exhausting

WARNING: We filmed at the Elephant & Castle Floating bus stop late last month. The clip includes a rental e-bike rider crashing into a child. The floating bus stop designs are not safe & they need to be urgently halted please.
