I see Boris has finally learned how to pull out in time. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks after all?

R to @Karcist1978: Ah well. I hadn’t, I’m not on here much at the moment, but it’s a fairly obvious gag so I’m not surprised!

R to @sharpeleven: I didn’t want my tweet filed under the trending topic of his name, in order to avoid a pile on of abuse from his bots and deluded sycophants, that’s why.

🚴 Cycling friends: when working out the time it takes to cycle a reasonable distance, Google/Apple Maps doesn’t give the option. I usually multiply the driving time by 3 or divide the walking time by 3, but does anyone have any more accurate apps they use for this? 🤷

R to @BootstrapCook: (I was using a v old iPhone for my bike as I’m ADHD-forgetful and likely to leave it in the holster at some point, so am updating it now…! The old ‘have you tried turning it on and off again’ trick never fails does it…)

R to @BootstrapCook: Have just updated Google Maps - using a very old iPhone for my bike as my goldfish brain will probably lose it at some point - and voila, the old ‘have you tried turning it off and on again’ trick worked…! Thanks @chrischirp for the nudge! Feel a bit of a lemon, but what’s new??

I’ll just leave this here, from 9 months ago. And with a big and grateful thanks to the ONS for using their considerable superpower in this area for real, tangible good.

R to @BootstrapCook: Politicians can (and do) argue with individual lived experience, even when millions of people are reporting ~very similar and specific experiences in very similar and specific circumstances~.

They can’t REALLY argue with their own statistics authority.

That’s why this matters.

Just gave Laurie a small dried sprat as a treat, her first ever, and she’s been carefully carrying it around in her mouth for a good few minutes and keeps putting it down and nudging it - I think maybe she’s checking the tiny fishy is ok?! 😭😭😭

R to @puncwatch: I dunno, it’s a bit like having very hairy toddler triplets…on speed… 🤣
