My most impressive certificate is: "Explosive Safety Management Level 1". Looks way more impressive than my degree. Got it by spending a very entertaining day watching things get blown up in lots of different ways when I briefly worked in a bomb factory.

To be more precise, Mr Kemp is only representing "Poor British [Male] Motorists".
He only only wants men to be consulted on such changes. 🙄

I have a vague memory of watching a TV show about the giant puffball.
Can't remember if was the same size as Earth or same weight as Earth: If every spore from one puffball became a puffball, then ...

Both require skills to use.
I would assume that >95% of the population has previously learnt to ride a bicycle.
I would assume <5% of the population has previously learnt to use a Segway.

This, I'm afraid, is just the fourth of some fabulous Antwerpen beers.

Excellent. I used to live in Piershill Square West when I first discovered the NLS maps website.
I spent many a happy hour pouring over how the area developed over the centuries.

I look forward to reading this. I spent a good part of my time at the European Transport Conference talking about and pondering this question.
As well as Transport sufficiency, we also discussed living sufficiency.
Thanks.

It doesn't stop bad behaviour (see speed limits), but you do at least conceptually something can be done.
My experience in one small part of one small town in Scotland is that there's a lot less pavement parking compared to before.

I recall listening to or reading a passage by the incredible Professor Dame Sue Black, that there's a bone (I think it was in the ear) in which the cells are never replaced after it is formed when you are a baby.
Whilst you're alive there is a bit of Tabitha Rayne that will forever be Tabitha Rayne.

"Anche, il tuo criceto è sporco."
Was the Italian phrase that made me spit out the donkey milk I was drinking.

On the recent Words Unravelled about journalism, I expected it to start with the etymology of News. When it wasn't there, I assumed it was because everyone knows it comes from the four compass points! I now stand corrected 😁.

A mate who works at Home Bargains is hoping to pull an overtime shift tomorrow putting out their Xmas merch.

Indeed, having a definitive correct answer is no fun at all. 🤣

Careful! Expressing any admiration for metal will attract @metalprofessor.bsky.social to you like a moth to a flame.
There's 6 of us with Bloodstock 2026 tickets already but they are selling fast. It's an incredible 4 days of metal, beer, food and fun.

A great resource to see where there are benches is openbenches.org developed by @edent.tel and Elizabeth Eden.
And if you find any that aren't there, please add them.
OpenBenches Welcome!

Hmm, is that the origin of the Urban Dictionary meaning of Munch?

Bah, planning to be slowly making my way home from European Transport Conference in Antwerp. Always take the opportunity when on Interrail ticket to explore a couple of new cities on the way home.

White Lightening and Tesco value lager.
Feeling flush, add a dash of Blackcurrant cordial for a snakebite and black.
Hard to believe I'm now a snobby craft beer bore who doesn't think twice of paying the equivalent of £15 a pint.
