“Looking at bones is one thing, it’s neat to look at bones, but seeing the mummified version of those animals from the past, just brings it to life.”

They ate her dog’s food! What kind of self-respecting dog is going to allow squirrels to do that?

I actually agree with them moving the racks in this instance – Wine St has a lot more space.

“He was going in reverse so his speed was -80mph, a full 100mph below the speed limit.”
You can’t have a speed of -80mph, it would be a velocity of -80mph

I like the way that the classic double triangle bicycle frame is derived by optimising the strength/weight ratio.

But in a way it makes sense that it’s in this bit of St George, given that it’s a district with lots of through traffic, a fairly easily drawable boundary, and that Rees probably sees it as a way to stave off the eastward march of the Greens.We’ve already got the 20mph limits

There’s enough complaints
There’s enough complaints about Bristol traffic anyway, so a few more complaints won’t matter.
I think they’re trying to prevent the traffic trying to by-pass Church Rd (A420) which runs on the very top edge of the area, but isn’t included. Would be fun if it was as it’s the main route from East Bristol to the centre.

There’s also the issue that more than three categories may be needed as male-to-female athletes might need to be separated from female-to-male athletes if there’s a big performance advantage one way or the other.
My solution would be to have categories based on a simpler physical attribute such as height or weight depending on what sport it is.

Mr Pritchard said: “People don’t want to live in your dystopian carless world where everyone will stay in their designated 15-minute zones. People want to do their bit for the environment their own way and to live their lives in freedom and comfort. Nobody has ever asked for an eco dictatorship.

Quick – someone ask them to define ‘woke’ and see if they can do better than Bethany Mandel’s brain freeze when asked the same.

Maybe they’ll employ some sniffer dogs?
Note – it’s the City of London rather than being London, the city which would be much better.
