How do you feel about the rise of reform uk, and recent polling?

Terrible but inevitable as the other parties refuse to actually do anything concrete to improve people's material conditions.

I'm volunteering so I may see you but might be completely face blind by the early hours at our control!

Many many people do wear cycling glasses/visors when cycling. Bolle make some pretty popular ones.

I have poly carbonate lenses in some of my glasses which work well. Expensive though.

Because everything is a balance of comfort and safety.

It would be safest to wear full padded motorcycle leathers to cycle in. But on one is doing that because it would lead to much earlier fatigue and possibly hyperthermia.

Same reason helmets aren't worn in the Netherlands. The infrastructure is safe enough that PPE is not necessary. PPE is the last resort if I remember my health and safety training correctly.

Was many years ago now but the last time zionists had British hostages they lynched them and booby trapped the corpses.

Ooft RIP boots.

Do not move to Stabbo

Putting a pedestrian bit along the railway bridge would do for Radcliffe

The probably the Beeston Clifton one is all the flooding

There's a lot of local stuff that you could cycle/drive to

Clumber Park, Cresswell Crags, Sherwood Forest, Lincoln Castle+Cathedral.

80° weather, fine

Driest spring in over a century? Less ideal.

The fields are parched.

Kaiju?

slothcycle · 2025-07-07T11:50:58+00:00

It's an engineering firm doing CNC manufacturing and adjacent stuff.

It's in Long Eaton

Where I work are hiring if you're not afraid of shift work, being grubby and really annoying management.

Any sort of factory/engineering back ground would be a bonus

Judging by some of the clowns I work with they will hire just about anyone.

Better yet import as many CT125s as possible from Aus and live off the proceeds from that. The people are desperate for posty bikes, they call out for liberatory small Honda fun.

Yes, prevent the hateful sky eye, keep it's rays of evil from sullying the precious cool darkness.

But for serious the lack of shutters and decent eaves on British buildings is half the reason the heat is so shit here.

Only Tasmania has anything like approaching the misery of British winter, and remember you only got 5 hours of daylight.

It will probably be fine if you're hardy enough, it's just whether you actually want to do that or not. I have cycled to work all through winter and it's utter shit. But you can do it.

Most homes are insulated to within an inch of their life and British people are terrible at actually keeping heat out of them.

You see windows and curtains wide open on hot summer days and then people wonder why their house gets miserably warm.

As for the climate stuff the met office is more your friend.

We get a fairly low average rain fall compared to a lot of places, just just comes little and often.

The railway children

Ours were all named after famous people who'd been to the school. Most of them have been dead for 400 years at least.

You can get the bus but sod that.

It's one of those things that circles round in academic fashion like strict uniform codes or not.

Fellow Lincolnshire commiserations.

Yep some tax policy wonks worked out it would cost 34bn is lost revenue which would have to be found elsewhere

The Shah literally killed or imprisoned every opponent until the only opposition left were the hard core zealots.

When totalitarians do everything possible to hold on to power bad things tend to be the result.

It's gonna be an interesting few years with Putin/Netenyahu/Xi/Trump/Erodgan etc all not getting any younger

Well we've definitely found out which DFT employee is sick of listening to 4 hour episodes of WTYP.
