Very much the likes of me.
That should keep the kids busy for a few hours on Christmas day, though am already preparing my "you have it easy, in my day we had to type in machine code as a stream of hex digits" spiel in case of dissent.

Chap leafletting outside The Omni takes out Voi bike rider. Not a good look for someone ostensibly advocating for cycling.

What about the poor folk of York, who face the prospect of hundreds of Liberal Democrats being put up in hotels in their communities early next year?

Car park at the east end of The Pencaitland Railway Path has been closed. This is on NCN196, and while the gap in the blocks looks wide enough maintain access, a third parked car was pulling away as I arrived which I suspect would have been blocking it for all but pedestrians and two wheeled bikes.

It is with sadness that Stevie Carr has to announce that the Dnipro Kids minibus was stolen last week from Seaview/Edinburgh Road at Joppa. The registration in BL15FUH and if anyone has seen it, or can remember seeing it elsewhere over the past week, please get in touch.
Please share.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

It's absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:
Elon Musk has *personally*posted in favour of the racist remigration agenda of the maximalist racist abusing the Home Secretary with this on X & endlessly posting racist harassment on X

This should be a story.
It should be a scandal.
Musk should have to account for this, in person, in parliament
