Just as EVs become more affordable because of the availability of used cars increases the chancellor is planning on charging me per mile. I don’t remember seeing that in the manifesto.

The timing of the order that I have completed my chores in this week has been excellent so far. I’ve dodged the rain every time. Let’s hope that I haven’t spoken too soon.

One day I’m going to be able to stop myself shouting “get a move on, the lights are fucking green”. Today is not that day.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

As an outside observer I can say that InvestNI asking not for profit organisations to justify their existence is a waste of resources. They know why the organisation exists, just let them do their job and support them when needed.

I don’t want to sell any gold nor do I want to change my mobile service provider. There’s probably other advertisements on #GreatestHitsRadio that annoy me but the #TescoMobile causes me to mute the radio for a couple of minutes.

Just wondering what is the most exotic roadkill you have seen today?

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

I’m not quite sure where the drivers of some cars think they are about to go when the ferry has only just docked. They were asked not to start their engines yet some still have.

It’s about time that the click bait sports pages stopped publishing opinions about the next transfer window. Stop reminding us about how wrong your speculations were during the last transfer window.

It’s a bit Mork and Mindy out there. Plenty of hazards on the road, not including drivers. Branches down on Annadale Embankment, Malone Road and Upper Malone Road. #BT9
