Space Hippo looks particularly fascinating! Thanks for the list.

Good to know thanks!

Have seen this raised before, but presumably the technology gives an aggregated average? Which because Ashley Terrace is so busy means that you'll get 20 cars doing 35mph, 20 cars doing 5mph in traffic, and averages look broadly ok despite the numerous speeding cars?

Absolutely mad that Sam Ryder finished up at Twickenham and somehow managed to get over to Washington for a second set.

Why isn't the producer putting a reaction camera on Cheika for any time something goes against Leicester? Japanese gameshow style.

Trump drinking enough diet coke to make the MAGA hat go to sleep, Elon sneaking in and locking him in a burning Tesla before the beast awakes. Both going down in the flames.

The mystery of the long stops at some Polish stations revealed! I did wonder why on my recent trip.

Freeze out development for Tier 2 nations, Fiji to play their 'home' game at NotTwickenham, plan a final in the Middle East. Full bingo card of screwing over promoting the sport.

Managed to get to a Biarritz game, a Bayonne game, and the France Vs Scotland game in the W6N this year. Sad little tears imagining what all rugby game atmospheres would feel like going forward... Softly singing La Marseilles to myself and sobbing.

I'd love to see the completely impossible stat of "referee who had to make the highest number of difficult decisions in a rugby match" because this one was surely up there! Kept game flowing fairly well despite it.

The video of Penaud throwing cream pies at his team mates and the imagined look of "here goes that dickhead again"

Feels a little like since bunker was introduced for internationals, the red/yellow marginal calls just get bottled in club level. Almost like waiting for a bunker that doesn't exist.

Should miss most of it! That's a horrible act.

I'm curious how the active travel investment works? Does it have to be invested into improvements in the local area or does it go into a centralised budget?

Have you ever considered cycling a French cheese along a canal in Edinburgh to square this circle?

Visited Lyon last year. Absolutely amazing city for cycling. Connected infrastructure, widespread bike hire, segregated lanes on many major routes. Night and day with Edinburgh and a depressing comparison returning home.

Also feels like there's huge scope to provide a path to give them opportunities, but some chosen have had many and not demonstrated the right level. Equalising the two sides of the game means recognising that too surely. Still buzzing for the tournament but decidedly anxious about who gets what ref.

Went for a bike ride around Water of Leith, caught it at the edge of Murrayfield, escaped it by Saughton Park, but it chased me over to the canal and swallowed Shandon before my very eyes... doors all locked now.

I think mine would be a contraflow connection between Shandwick Place-Canning Street-Rutland Square to connect flagship CCWEL with Conference Square and onwards to canal cycle routes at extremely low cost.

I wonder if you got a forum of local active travel users to each suggest one small improvement on their own frequent-traveled routes, how many minor disconnects or frustrations could be remedied to deliver a major difference over a network at a very modest cost?

Think I've worked out why Darcy isn't named in the Lion's squad.

I hadn't quite connected that you were involved in Jeremiah, but it explains why I enjoyed it so much! Thanks for the enjoyable shows 🫡

It's going to be an excellent summer of rugby over here! Particularly looking forward to the first weekend of games in Manchester which include a grudge match Wales Vs Scotland on a weekend that handily overlaps with Manchester Gay Pride so everyone can party away their feelings afterwards.

If it isn't called "Lettuce Chat" then a real marketing opportunity has been missed.

Downside: Want Red Roses to smash it.
Upside: Cleverly banked on Kildunne having a quiet game for my fantasy...

Yeah, going both ways also - weird decision on the stopped maul on the Ireland try line. Decent ref normally, maybe a bad day at the office.

Very confused by that one, went full circle on the decision and then no actual check on the contact.

The energy coming off them makes me think Vance tried to hit on a sophisticated European girl during a summer abroad and she rejected him. Strong fauxmacho rejection energy taken to a continental level.
