This is a pretty terrifying vision if Trump wins next year:

Don't rub it in! Were you there?

I was on my bike with no bag, so was worried about getting it home. Still no excuse, as I didn't have far to go. All the regrets!

Hoppers in Soho does loads of good vegan options. Sri Lankan food, so lots of coconut currys, idlis, dosa etc. As well as meat and beer.

I went to the Tenderlonious album launch at Oslo on Wednesday night. Didn't know anything about him, just wanted to go to a LJF gig and it was close by.

Wow. What a gig. Amazing musicians. Would highly recommend listening to his latest album "You know I care". It's up on Spotify now. Kicking myself I didn't buy a copy at the gig

Some good moustache + mullet action going on there

Also:

"Black voters – a core Biden demographic – are now registering 22% support in these states for Trump, a level the New York Times reported was unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times"

I mean WTF?!

Just some fun stats on the 2024 election:

"While Biden has a narrow three-point lead in Wisconsin, Trump leads by 11 points in Nevada, seven points in Georgia, five points in Arizona and three points in both Michigan and Pennsylvania."

Just giving them a small peek into possible future business?

No, very happy to chat about choices made and why we are doing things, and even take onboard feedback!

It's purely a quality issue. Recycled cotton has really short fibres that when spun into yarn and then into fabric produces a noticeably inferior product to long fibre virgin cotton. It's still fine, and probably on par with some lower quality fabric, but we are trying to go for super high quality as well as sustainable. We are hoping our clothes will last decades, rather than just a few years.

Hoping this doesn’t come across as too spammy.

I posted a few months back about creating a completely UK made sustainable brand. Well we’ve finally got the 1st batch back and things are looking good.

Haven’t managed to get an on-demand model working yet, mainly because we are small, it’s our first time dealing with suppliers and they can’t guarantee production times. But it’s something we want to work towards.

We’ve started with basic staples: Sweatshirts, Hoodies and T-shirts. But will hopefully grow the range as time goes on. All the fabric is 100% organic cotton and knitted here in the UK. We’ve gone for a heavyweight 445gsm for the sweats and hoodies and 265gsm for the tees. And all the clothes are hand made in our workshop in London.

We go on sale next week and are mainly doing marketing via our Insta account, so if you are interested check us out and give us a follow to hear release date: https://www.instagram.com/waitingfortomorrow_uk/

I’ll be delivering any London orders by bike, so wish me luck!

Nice! I saw them earlier this year at Ally Pally and they've been my gig of the year so far.

I went to quite a few good ones in the 9 streets area (which is worth a look), but near you maybe Hummingbird.

Ha, amazing!

Oh yeah, Big Shot is great!

Both above are great. Also Skinny Dip if you are in Cliftonville

Yes, definitely! Where is it? Can you send me details and I'll get a ticket. Maybe we could work on a few other peeps on here and make a bit of an OG forum reunion.

So lovely to see you again and catch up mate. A bit disconcerting that you looked exactly the same as when I last saw you 10 years ago!

It was a fantastic weekend with such a great vibe. Hopefully see you there next year too.

I believe Australia are the holders of the World Test Championship as well as the Ashes.

But you guys definitely retain the 'Tries really hard' award

Agree that green policies have majority support, but Sunak is going hard into anti-green policies anyway.

Starmer can either be brave, and stand by his green policy pledges, or he can follow the Tories so he's not exposed at the next election. Unfortunately, I think we can already see the way he's going with his 'review of ULEZ expansion' comment.

And thanks to FPTP, if both main parties are locked in an anti-green doom spiral, what choice do we as the majority of voters have?

Yep, the problem is that whether or not it's a good strategy (and unfortunately, I think it is), Starmer and team are going to get spooked and start rowing back on their green policies. So going into the election next year, both main parties will be trying to outdo each other on anti-green policies. Nightmare scenario.

Hmm, it was a while ago so memory is a bit hazy, but I'm back on regular tubes so that probably says something.

I remember getting a puncture and maybe it worked well enough to get home, but then you still need to change/repair the tube anyway and having a complete mess of slime all over the tube and inside tyre was a pain.

Great article on the Titan. Amazing that so many people had so many concerns about it but nothing was done.

tl;dr
Titanium > Steel > Carbon

Does Cadel need a throat lozenge? So irritating

The previous owner, Macquarie Bank accused of asset stripping the company for over a decade. What use exactly is OFWAT? I mean, Thames Water only supplies water to 15million people.

The utilities in this country are just a complete shitshow.
