This is absolutely bonkers...
Australia simply loves to "protect" active mobility
- Extremely long waits for pedestrians at traffic lights
- Bike helmet laws decreasing life expectancy by effecting hardly anyone cycles and making bikeshare impossible
- Further ""bike safety"" legislation (helmet fines start at 230€ in NSW)

Lower Saxony plans subsidies for solar farms on land which cannot be reused due to contamination such as old factory sites or landfill sites. Makes a lot of sense!

Ungewöhnliche Nutzung: Diese Pläne hat das Land für mit Schadstoffen verseuchte Flächen
Niedersachsen will Photovoltaik-Anlagen auf belasteten Flächen fördern. Es geht um Areale, die mit Schadstoffen verseucht und kaum nutzbar sind - etwa alte Müllkippen oder stillgelegte Fabrikgelände.

Shop small, shop honest businesses too. I don’t trust bigger businesses to be honest about Black Friday “deals” so unless it is something that I really need & know the price of, I’ll get it.
Respect for Gail! 🥳

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Because Juniper doesn’t like her photo being taken as much as the glamour puss of Tonic, I don’t share as many pictures of her.
However, have this beautiful one that sums this up well as I stopped stroking her belly to take a photo of her looking cute….

This is drunk driving on another level: a German train driver working the RE6 towards the Ruhrgebiet was arrested whilst en route after missing a station stop. The conductor noted a smell of alcohol & police were called.
Driver tested positive for alcohol: 2.67% www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/...

this is basic human decency
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This is really disappointing to see. I don't know what the parking rates are in Karlsruhe, and whether they have been raised in the last few years, but could you imagine telling car users "Sorry, we're reducing the number of spaces by 10%"
So yeah: frequency reductions and line cancellations 😒

Near miss as a nightJet from Wien Hbf arrives into an occupied platform 6 at Amersfoort Centraal this morning. Only the rapid actions of the driver stopped the train from rear-ending the Koploper Intercity train to Den Haag Centraal.

I worked for an internet bank. I didn’t enjoy it. Someone suggested that “… if you like the railways so much, go work for them!” so I did.
Since then it’s been a path of “What job can I do which isn’t affected by a disability or hindrance” (see red/green sight defect)

Going for Gold was great. Depending on which grandparents I went to after school, you either got Countdown or Fifteen to One.
There was usually something interesting to watch, even if you only had four channels 😏

Saw this meme earlier that was like
"POV your ill and off school"
And it showed I think Jeremy Kyle, Judge Rinder, buttered toast and This Morning with Holly and Phil.
I'm not having that, cos I'm an old bastard, so here's my 1989 version next to the original tweet from the other place: 🤣

So much of our infrastructure, planning, environmental, and road safety measures seem to be based around politicians' fear of slightly inconveniencing easily-angered motorists. Pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users are barely considered in their calculations.
