@nickgoff79 @hailfabio According to Brake, the road safety charity, 5 people were killed each day on average on the UK roads in 2021, so rather than working to improve the standard of driving and safety of the road network, let's ban people from using roads... Obviously. 🤣

I don't think Islay Padgen-Evans is interested in #Crufts... probably because she's not in it....

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

@clarebalding here's my beautiful 12 year old Islay on the beach enjoying her holibobs in Northumbria. I rescued her 7 years ago and she's been rescuing me every day since. #whywerescue #Crufts

@electoralreform Lords have shown value in scrutinising / recommending improvements to legislation, so use them more as chairs and committee members where they have appropriate expertise. Then bin the house of lords, make that a UK house elected by PR, and the commons an English assembly by FPTP

@Tanni_GT 1st World Problems... 😉

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Many congratulations to my old / not old friend @Tanni_GT , great to see your efforts recognised by #SPOTY 😁

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

I just watched a bit of @BBCBreakfast and when they wanted to get some 'analysis' from the leaders debate they had Nicky Morgan MP. What is the point of having an MP on when all you get is a stream of a*se kissing platitudes. That's not analysis. Luckily @Channel4 had rugby on.

Great day at the @Sport_England #coachingsummit, the highlight being seeing my old (not old) friend @Tanni_GT talk about #dutyofcare for coaches as well as athletes 🤔😊

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Warm, friendly and unfussy welcome and service, nice food and one of the nicest cups of decaf coffee I've ever enjoyed. I'll definitely be early for meetings nearby more often!

@elenip92 Pictures or it didn't happen.... 😉

After weeks of anticipation it finally starts tonight. Yes, of course, I'm talking about the latest documentary series from the brilliant @simon_reeve, travelling the length of the Americas. BBC2, 9pm 😁

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Gloriously evocative music from @TheAyoubSisters . I could almost smell the incense 😁

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Actually could be interesting. All about the Coptic Orthodox church. I might learn something. — watching BBC Songs of Praise

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Watching Pointless Celebrities, convinced John Kettley has been moonlighting as Nigel John Vardy.

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Tempting. Newer and has less miles than both my car and my camper van. Could this be a viable option if I went down... https://t.co/itVXVwWRaa

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

You've heard of tan lines... I have welly lines...

[Dave Padgen @StumblingDave]

Is the French Prop Rabah Slimani actually former Italian footballer Gennaro Gattuso in disguise?
