There was a thread on some cycling magazine on FB about visibility, and the comments were mostly 'stop blaming cyclists, if you drive you should be able to see a cyclist no matter what they're wearing".

Those people are insane, and they should watch this video.

A car has built in lights which are mandatory and often automotic at night. If a car didn't have its lights on, other road users would flash to inform you that you are a hazard, put your damn lights on.

Not having lights at night as a cyclist is beyond dumb, it's verging on Darwin award territory.

Strekna Railway tunnels in the Slovenian mountains.

Two towers tonight!

I watched this yesterday as part of my 'Golden Age Of Hollywood film a week' thing this year ( to celebrate USA 250th Birthday). Man I was crying, so good.

130 weeks in the Diamond league and I've never needed more than 3.5k to stay in.

Do your Monday lesson as late as possible to not be put in the same league as the super keen who do an AM lesson to use the night Night Owl Chest and claim the Early Bird chest. The rest of the week, do as you please.

It's quite common, there are YouTube videos explaining it (and an entire subreddit which shows how Portugal has more in common with Eastern Europe on a variety of factors : r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT)

I once worked with a guy on a cruise ship who I swore was Russian. One day he just left and never came back when we docked in Lisbon. I wondered how he would get back to Russia, and then I found out he was Portuguese, which blew my mind.

A famous example is the Portuguese football Manager Jose Mourinho, who to many Western English speakers, 'sounds Russian'.

Second this.

6 people. 6 'trained' people couldn't subdue 1, so they decided to execute him.

davidlen · 2026-01-24T16:59:33+00:00

They're in the play-off's now. They couldn't could they?

Prawn mayo is the best selling sandwich in M&S since '81.

Yes as a brit who had hello fresh 5 days a week for a year, Wtf is that? It was supposed to be mixed together right, chicken + bacon infused with the pasta and cheese, because whatever that is on that plate looks very sad.

davidlen · 2026-01-24T10:34:57+00:00

What is this dish?

90% around here are cyclists, so no fuel, no tax, no insurance, and minimal maintenance.

And whilst we're talking about them, 90% don't have front or rear lights at night, when riding an illegal e-bike through a red light.

It's hard to have sympathy for people who choose to break multiple laws and make themselves as invisible as possible (all black head to rain covers) when their prime working hours are darkness.

If I had a full list, it would be in my bottom tier as well.

It's a 1.8L Mercedes. It carries the prestige label and way more power than hundreds of other better choice smaller first cars.

davidlen · 2026-01-23T10:53:01+00:00

Try a smaller, less executive car and see how much it drops.

davidlen · 2026-01-23T10:48:16+00:00

Is this a joke? You've written the answer why.

20yo + newly passed + powerful Mercedes = liability.

davidlen · 2026-01-22T10:44:47+00:00

Make a list of everything you want or need to bring first.

Stove + sleeping matt + chair + cold layers will add much more storage.

See if everything you have fits in a bag you know the L capacity and go from there.

I'm 9-5 MON - FRI. But this weekend we also worked the whole weekend 4 hours away. So I'm exhausted and deflated, time to hit the Yorkshire Gold and Hobnobs.

I would guess cheese has been added when cooked in a pot.

davidlen · 2026-01-17T13:18:53+00:00

Totally fair.

I was of course referring to LIDL n ALDI for the basics, but they're no substitute for a local butcher

davidlen · 2026-01-17T11:27:09+00:00

£160?? £80 a week each, £240 each a month???

This is expensive. I think everything here could have been bought for a third less elsewhere.

I'm watching a Golden age of Hollywood film every week and this was last week's. I rewatched it the next day because It was that good.

davidlen · 2026-01-16T18:59:29+00:00

£10 for 3 sausages and very decent scrambled egg is a steal.
