Jesus wept. How embarrassing.
Think what you like – when Rylan is commenting on it, you know the migrant crisis is for real. ✍️ @GWalker9 .

Quite right. All that poverty, beggary, mass emigration, sky-high infant mortality, TB, and non-existent women’s rights. Oh for the good old days. ~sarc.
Ireland nearly 100 years ago. We had nothing, but had everything. Remnants of this life could be seen in the Ireland I grew up in in the 1970s and 80s. All now, sadly gone, it seems Irish cultural identity has become an embarrassment to the EU elites.

There’s a lesson there for airports. If airports got some revenue from railway fares, then they’d be more likely to support train stations on site. They don’t have to rely so much on parking revenue.
Alton Towers was first opened to the public as a result of the coming of the railway. Money raised from railway excursions was paid to the Earl of Shrewsbury to help maintain the grounds. A special exit from the station was built to manage the crowds and it’s still there today.

“Bicyclists need to stop at stop signs too!”. Brought to you by the people who do this all the live-long day and think nothing of it.

Watch yourselves, California voters! The lying has started already. Anybody paying attention knows we’ve been forced into this by the Texas Rethuglican vote-riggers. Vote Yes on the Election Rigging Response Act. Don’t let them steal the House.

You know ow what I call this part of the bike lane? The “kill zone.” If there’s one of these anywhere on a bike route, the entire route will be underutilized no matter how good the rest is. It’s like having a bridge with a missing section. It all has to be in place to be useful.

"Our biggest problem is a lack of confidence and conviction to deliver at speed. That is not helped by hurlers on the ditch such as O’Leary. Sowing doubt, derision and misinformation only delays projects and adds to the cost to the Irish public. ".

Arguments by the Ryanair boss that we should give up on rail solutions and rely on the car and bus make no sense

It’s very sad to see women joining the clamour to dictate what women should and should not wear.
It’s very sad to see more and more women walking around Dublin covered from head to foot in Islamic clothing. No face, no voice, just fabric blowing in the wind.

The people who want you to ride single file want to be able to pull dangerous crap like this. Don’t let them. Take the lane and let them wait until it’s safe to pass. Ride two abreast to shorten the group and facilitate a quick overtake when it’s safe to do so.
When drivers say that cyclists should ride in single file and keep close to the edge. It's so that they can do this. Watch the Renault at the end. Had that happened as the Toyota driver was dangerously overtaking the cyclists, it would have resulted in a catastrophic collision.

Hot take: National flags belong on flagpoles. Putting them on lampposts to mark territory is tacky and disrespectful.

Nice to see a modern structure with a bit of grace and beauty built in.
Today I saw the stunning new 3.4km Colne Valley Viaduct: soon to be UK’s longest rail bridge, it frees up capacity & gives resilience to West Coast Mainline & other routes. It has won the @RoyalFineArt Commission Trust’s Building Beauty award: it is graceful; monumental; superb.

Well done that pedestrian. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Maybe the cyclist will think twice next time! 😁
