Buses cancelled and hazardous pavements. Cycle lanes not gritted. Don’t tell me that we don’t live in a car-centric society. I’ll be more than an hour late for work. This is embarrassing @norfolkcc.bsky.social

I guess not many people had "Stop being a cunty driver" down as a New Years resolultion judging by my commute for the first few days of 2026.

I’m in a quiet cul-de-sac. I’m having my breakfast and having to listen to neighbours run their engines for what feels like an eternity before they leave. I’ll be leaving for work on my bike in an hour and won’t disturb a soul.
Bikes are far nicer for society.

So much ice on the paths through the @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social this morning, but not a grain of salt or sand in sight. Not very impressed.

Is there any fate worse than getting stuck next to the table of drunk people on a relatively long train journey?

My boiler has broken. Any recommendations for someone in the Norwich area to fix it?

Exactly. My partner’s mum is in hospital and it’s too far to cycle. No public transport means he won’t be able to visit her on Christmas Day. The UK is too car-centric.
It is a day for spending with friends and family, so we make it impossible to get to them without a car.
As the UK completely shuts down it's public transport for Christmas, remember that other countries are sane. In #Melbourne, for example, not only is public transport running, but its free to use on Christmas Day transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-res...

This is what we're up against... A driver of SH15ATN doing his online shopping for saws whilst driving his 1.6 tonne vehicle on busy roads. All in a country (Scotland) that has no online reporting system and little to no road policing. #DNRPoliceScotland

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

People often assume that because I’m vegan I must love cats and dogs. I don’t. I tolerate them on an individual level, but I dislike them in my space. I am happy for people who love them, but I wish they’d not expect me to as well.

My son Rory died suddenly in August. He was a wonderful boy: outward looking, funny & kind. He used to help homeless people so a local charity have set up “Rory’s gift” in his name. He would have been 19 today, if you’d like to make an internet stranger happy please consider donating, however small.

Rory was an incredibly kind and thoughtful young man. He would very often stop to give food to local people who were experiencing homelessness.

These people took issue with me cycling through the @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social on a shared path. When I pointed out that they are asked to keep their dog on a lead I was told to "Go away".
I'm trying to get to work, and I'm so tired of having dogs running across my path endangering both of us.

Vital lesson in British politics - never support cancellation of an actual transport project in the hope of a hypothetical one instead, you'll jist get nothing.
Leeds/West Yorkshire is twice the population of Glasgow and 3 times the pop. of Sheffield, just to emphasise how bad this is.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
