I buy a Creme Egg in a shop. Man at till reaches under counter. "I don't need a bag thanks" I say. "I'm getting the shop egg," he says. "It has a barcode that'll scan."

Well...couldn't believe my eyes there in the finale when the camera panned round. Was so farcical that I questioned whether what I was saying was correct. There's (another) obvious safety question but is it not harsh to take the race win off Ganna? Def in the no time gaps camp, but no win unfair IMO

Are you guys for real right now? We only rate dogs. This is so clearly a bunny rabbit having his dinner. Please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10

When the going gets tough, go to the bookshop ❤️

every angry take I’ve seen about using technology to offload the work of being a human is correct, and I’ll just add: you learn things from art you don’t like and/or finish! you learn things, about yourself and about the world, even from experiences you don’t enjoy! friction is necessary for growth!

So many bad employers forcing their staff into work today. Particularly hospitality. Great to see @unitetheunion.bsky.social hospitality naming and shaming in Glasgow and Scotland. Workers aren't 'brave' for going in. It's stupidity on behalf of the employer. It's one day lads. Just close.

This is Moose. He’s had a very long day. Tried to go down some stairs but got stuck. 13/10 someone please help Moose

The decisions made by the Dutch, Danes and Belgians to cut their delegations for Kigali 2025 may have been unavoidable, but they are deeply harmful to Africa's first World Championships open.substack.com/pub/globalpe...

The Law of the land... Saddened to hear of the death, aged 84, of Denis Law. Here's the Lawman knocking in the first in Scotland's famous 3-2 victory over World Cup holders England at Wembley on 15 April 1967. Pic: Newsquest

A bittersweet extension for Spa. Safety on the calendar, but no longer a permanent fixture. One of the few circuits which absolutely merits permanency, even if it’s not as logistically pleasant or financially lucrative as others. #F1

Here we have just a little guy, toasty and content as he reflects on his day. 13/10 would try my best not to disturb him

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

Annemiek van Vleuten will join as performance mentor, the team will collaborate with NXTG Racing, and Fenix-Deceuninck is strengthening its long-term vision with an extended partnership with title sponsor FENIX and a new clothing collaboration with Alé. @FenixDeceuninck

Trailblazing Canyon//SRAM Generation have announced their eight riders for 2025, with another to be added following the conclusion of the Zwift Academy open.substack.com/pub/globalpe...

Can you help? Did you attend @girowomen stage finish in L'Aquila on July 14? Did you take a video that day? A video that day captured @ElisaLongoB's mother, and she can't find her copy 😢 Get in touch with organisers or Elisa if you might be that person 🙏

Wishing all my friends in Scotland and those celebrating around the world a very happy St Andrew’s Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I wonder if 10,000m runners and shot putters will team up to revolt. Also why just feature the men’s hammer and women’s triple? 😵‍💫

Put this together to help bike fans find their favourite teams, riders and writers on Bluesky. Not many out there so far, in fact I've not found a single rider on here, but the community's growing fast. Let me know if there's anyone I should add #CyclingBlueSky #BikeSky go.bsky.app/VRgb2gJ

In love with the stadium announcer’s Danielle Bellini-esque reaction to San Marino’s late equaliser last night Also, San Marino can win their group and qualify for a WC playoff spot if they beat Liechtenstein on Monday. Dreamy
