Last year Lidl were smashing it with veggie roast dinner centre pieces. Doesn’t look like last year’s options are coming back so we’re auditioning new Sunday lunch and Christmas options.

Everything this year is cranberry heavy (we aren’t fans). This looked the best option. It was pretty gross tbh.

Any Brummie cyclists looking for a few bits, I’ve just listed an unworn pair of size 10 SPD shoes and some new Shimano 105 SPD pedals on marketplace and I’d rather sell to you because you’re cool?!

Oh also I’ve got a turbo trainer in the loft & a 10 Speed 700c turbo trainer wheel that I’m done with

A fresh circle of hell for the people who put the footpath closure notice at the point where the path is closed, rather than several miles earlier, where the path leaves a town (that had a pub and a train home).

Bonus Hell points for the whole “Closed from June 2024 or until when it isn’t” bit.

Autumn is absolutely living its best life in 2025 isn’t it? So much nature about. Walking around on carpets of acorns and conkers. Big-jumper-but-not-coat weather. Toadstools and mushrooms all over the place. Superb work lads, really.

The new Harlies combat patrol box is cool and all but do they _all_ need to be jumping off a bit of rock?

Just got this through the post, it’s gonna look great on my running pack.

The Birmingham area isn’t very hilly but this round bags the tops in the Lickeys and Clent Hills, and you get this little patch if you submit a valid GPX file at the end 😍

Not been in The Old Irish Harp on Chester Road since 2008.

Back then it had a gimmick menu of doing chicken on a spit. They had racks and racks of them on the go in the dining room. Only this sign remains to remind them of the terrible folly.

Was that a thing? Rotisserie pubs?
