After the spate of hit and runs, I’m not taking any chances at the lights anymore. Now that I’m really looking out for it, it’s terrifying just how much drivers do it.

Tadej absolutely phenomenal as usual. I really hope he is the real deal. Cycling won’t recover if he isn’t.

Even as someone who really enjoys both cycling and pints. I really can’t get my head around this. Each to their own I suppose.

I wonder why I prefer doing picture one to picture two. Can someone please help.

I don’t even know what that looks like. Should I be watching doomsday prepping YouTube videos etc. I certainly will be adjusting travel plans for the foreseeable future. Have lots of spare tubes for my bike etc. probably won’t need a Rambo style machete.

Anyone else being looking up what to put in a bug out bag because I have. Genuinely feel like we are on the brink. Cowards in the EU not calling out what’s happening in the Middle East. It’s all so terrifying.

Was watching that but these three have piqued my interest. Refuelling fighter jets?

The wider view of the whole area is mad. Huge empty vista over the Gulf. Usually most airliners are all Emirates flights. None that I can see being operated at the moment.

What’s the cycling equivalent of a drive through? Noticed this on my commute yesterday so brought my cup with me today. I fear this may become a regular feature of my commute and I am delighted with it.

My local Aldi changed its layout, please think of me at this difficult time.

Make no mistake, O’Donovan and the Government are on the back foot after the balls he made with his comments about Grok creating CSAM a few weeks ago and the government who decided to stand on a rake last week with their plans to pull SNAs from schools around the country. LOI a perfect distraction.

'Israeli fans should be welcomed' to Dublin for game says government minister Minister for Sport Patrick O'Donovan has backed the FAI’s decision to proceed with the controversial Group G fixture at the Aviva Stadium on October 4

I reckon anyone who got a license that way would be in their mid to late nineties at this point.

In light of his comments on what he said about the league of Ireland and its collective punishment for the actions of a few idiots. Just a reminder that Patrick O’Donovan is one of the most inept ministers in our government. I wouldn’t trust him with a paper route. This should have ended his career.

Please take your victim blaming elsewhere.
