North Country Boy

There are some really, really shit drivers in Newcastle this morning. That is all.

For the tubby pissed up Hull City fan slagging off Newcastle outside the bar on Osborne Road. It's Jesmond, kidda. You'd wind more people up round there if you slagged off Surrey.

There's water falling out of the sky. Weird.

Apparently England were trying to keep their hotel secret Mexico City but Mexican fans found out. Wonder what tipped them off?

Ok, it's not David Attenborough style camera traps, but our hedgehog is back. Thought we'd lost him or her.

Introduce yourself with 10 band/musicians you’ve seen live! The Clash Bruce Springsteen Tom Waits Stiff Little Fingers The Undertones The Ramones Killing Joke Martin Stephenson The Jesus and Mary Chain Buddy Guy

Ok, guess what the black thing is.

Why don't you people use the cycle paths? Just nipping into Gregg's edition.

Going to bed pissed at 4am instead of having to go for a piss at 4am.

Terrible traffic cycling through Newcastle this morning

Full house. Pavement parking, bike lane and double yellows. What a star. Great North Road, Newcastle, about 6.45 this morning.

Beaches in Northumberland are getting too crowded these days.

Bialetti Moka coffee maker. Not even bought by me but by my gran when visiting family in Italy in the 60s. It's basically indestructible. Future civilisations will dig them up and wonder what they were for.

Why don't you people use the bike lanes?

Now I think about it, I *am* a member of the "would rather have a cycle lane than get knocked off my bike by some cretin looking at their phone while driving at 40mph" community.

Seriously man, what is the "cycling community"? Am I also part of the "nipping out to get some milk" community? Or the "going for a quick pint after work" community? The idea there's some sort of organised "cyclists" group really does my head in.

OK, report or don't report? Dry, bright and sunny, so I had time to slow, and I don't want him to lose his job, but it's not good, is it?

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Quick stop on the way home. Come on, better than sitting in a traffic jam, isn't it? You know it makes sense.

No, no, after *you*. After all, you bought a big car. I'll just brake hard, not a problem.Hi-viz, two front lights, almost full daylight and I'm still invisible.

Christmas morning 7am, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Nice here, innit? Boy, did Twitter go downhill.
