I love Pocagar, but he’s ruined my afternoon by just riding away solo, yet again, to (probably) win Strade Bianche. Getting a bit dull now.

It’s an amazing show. Enjoy - and the bright lights of Hammersmith.

It’s like a David Byrne song, in a good way.

Had the Battle of Turnham Green as my banker Pointless answer. But it wasn’t to be.

People of Nottingham (and wider area).

I’ll be at Waterstones on the 12th of May, talking to the lovely @sanglesey.bsky.social about my new book.

Drinks afterwards, maybe a club. Who knows.

Tickets here or in the link in my bio - www.waterstones.com/events/marti...

The safest place might be to put them in your Stradivarius violin case and store them safely in the luggage rack of train.

This extraordinary building is in Hammersmith. The brief was presumably something like β€˜make my new office block look like it’s falling down and structurally unsound’.

This is very Irish in style. See @fotoole.bsky.social’s We Don’t Know Ourselves (the best book I read last year).

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

β€œYou're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here.

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

Yes, luge is fastest, then bob, then skeleton.

Also it is slower than the luge, so the only attraction is the buzz of having more risk of having your head hit something first rather than your feet.
