You can put football behind an astronomical paywall because there's so many fans that a lot of people plus bars will pay for it. But put niche sports behind an astronomical paywall and you don't grow but *kill* a sport. Capitalism at its worst right here

Even now, at the end of summer, #Dandelions are providing vital pollen and nectar for a myriad of insects. NEVER underestimate the power that this mighty little plant has to attract #wildlife 🐝

This is definitely one of my favourite autochrome enhancements from the First World War. The composition is like a classical painting, the light & colour are just sublime, and the clarity strips away the last 110 years to make it resemble a modern-day re-enactment. This wonderful ragtag team of French territorial infantrymen was taken by Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud in Oise, northern France, in 1914. They wear a hotch-potch combination of old and new uniform styles, of horizon blue with bright red pantaloons. I love this one to bits. 😍
It is original colour (not colourised)

Stage 20 of the @lavuelta would be my 500th grand tour stage. If my own statistics are correct. I’m going to do my very best to win that one.

Disgraceful assault on Nigel Farage today. Completely unacceptable and wrong. No one should face intimidation or assault in an election campaign. Thank you to the police for responding.

Public service reminder: assaulting people you don’t like - even if you *really* don’t like them - is still against the law.

If you want to slow down vehicles as drivers approach streets with lots of pedestrians and cyclists, these giant Dutch kerbs are very effective.
They succeed in setting the tone of a street and are a match for even larger vehicles.
We can and should use these more in the UK.
