Classic prioritisation of money and car experience this morning. Son playing for his local rugby club in Burton. I go for a run whilst he warms up. Pick a National Forest Way route. Cross a very busy dual carriage way with no pedestrian signage or safety features.

Sad to have watched the last Tour de France on @itvx.com - the show and presenters have been with me since my youth and days in Ch4. All change

Not sure how the British Beer & Pub Association can blame business taxes, our local pub has been run into the ground by the “brewery” Greene King, along with many other local pubs.

A multinational sector success or a bleed it dry asset management scenario?

For those that like a dash up a hill through some bracken, then a dash down a river gorge, then a dash across some meadows and river. Then a pint & beer with people you just shared a great experience with... The Grindleford Fell Race 2025 entries have just opened www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?ev...

The US Trade deal remind me of the time Trump banned TikTok and brought it back, to much acclaim.

What other avenues will see this same tactic used.

I’m trying not to talk about that person that is currently “leading the free world”, but what week are we in and how many are there left to go in this presidential term?

Some good one here. Perhaps the farmers protest escalation takes the prize?
It has been quite the year, so as a distraction from all that here are my WTF TV news moments from 2024 ✨

Watched The Outrun last night, loved it. Stunning acting Saoirse. Emotional connection with both space of Scottish Islands and having a hedonistic time living in London. Scene conducting waves and wind on the cliff side, and soothing sense that instilled. Tearful. 🙏 @ronansaoirse.bsky.social

Working my way through the Get Britain Working White Paper.

“UK employers invest half as much per employee in training compared to the EU average, while employer investment in training has fallen by nearly 20% in real terms since 2011”

...is a pretty damning statistic.
