My Babboe Big-E cargo trike, with a wooden box at the front filled to the brim with filming kit
My blue and orange Specialized road bike, locked to what I can only describe as a Bible in a box in front of a church being used a polling station

BP profits hit 3-year high as Iran war delivers windfall. Oil major’s quarterly profit beats analysts’ expectations on back of ‘exceptional’ trading performance.
View from the saddle of my cargo bike, with a large wooden box at the front with child benches and other bits and bobs. I'm riding across a grassy field that doesn't have a path to my street, even though it does have a path from a cycleway to the other street that backs onto the field. It's a long story.
My boys having cake and milkshake at a picnic bench in front of a shed with vending machines in it. Babs the cargo bike is parked at one side.
Before: Screenshot from Google Street View showing a set of three guardrails forming a tight chicane across a path between two houses. Our cargo trike would just about fit, but only with a dismount and lots of manoeuvring. I.e. not remotely accessible, and a pinch point during the school run as young people tend to congregate waiting for their friends.

Five star Google review from me, two years ago: Lovely room and breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Much better value for money than staying in Edinburgh itself. Reply today: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ben Horrigan! We're absolutely delighted to hear you had a great experience with us. Your kind words mean a great deal to our whole team, and we truly hope to welcome you back again soon. — Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield
Screenshot from "What's your city's excuse" website comparing various physical and environmental metrics in Stockport and Amsterdam. Basically both places have great conditions for cycling, but Stockport has a cycling mode share of 1% compared with 27% in Amsterdam.
Selfie of me wearing running gear, in the middle of a chilly woodland run through Mersey Vale, Stockport.
Two red bell peppers, one strapped to each footrest on a child seat on the back of my bike. They arrived intact at nursery, where I transferred them to my kid's bag.
Five short clips of bad driving behaviour, all on 17th March. Mostly people pulling across the bike lane in front of me, either unaware I was there or just brazenly refusing to give way.

A skybridge linking a brutalist multi-storey car park and a modernist department store, in Manchester, UK. An interesting view of quite worn-looking architecture.
Photo of a quote in Empire. "How many pages have you got? Do you want to get into that?" Maybe just a touch? "Personally, I don't know why it's coming after the things we need to do. I don't need it to breathe or fuck for me. I don't need it to tell stories for me. Go cure cancer, y'know? Do some shit that we don't know how to do or don't want to do. But it's coming after the stuff that is primary to who we are. "
Finish him, a la Mortal Kombat
AI slop infographic showing the impact of different levels of attendance on kids' learning. Lots of errors in the text, from basic spelling errors to fully incomprehensible bits.
My two-year-old boy starting to get the hang of his balance bike. He asks where his brother is, then he appears out of nowhere from around the corner on his pedal bike.
Gorgeous eggs Benedict on sourdough with a cup of coffee.

Google results for "Jonathan Ross controversy". AI overview says "Jonathan Ross's primary controversy was the 2008 "Sachsgate" scandal, where he and fellow presenter Russell Brand left lewd and offensive messages on the answerphone of veteran actor Andrew Sachs, which were then broadcast on a pre-recorded BBC Radio 2 show."
Selfie of me in winter cycling gear, with my bike in the background leaning against a tall sculpture of the Trans Pennine Trail logo. Behind that is the beach at Southport, on a beautiful sunny day.
Good afternoon, There seems to be even more confusion since my last email. Children can wear non uniform/school uniform/Christmas jumper/no Christmas jumper/festive/non festive. Basically children need to come in suitable clothes (for the weather) on Wednesday. Thanks

Footage from the front camera on my bike. Nine cyclists pass me while I wait at a red light, then I sprint up a hill to overtake them all.

Won't somebody please think of the children meme from The Simpsons, but it says won't some parents please think of having children
Screen recording of BBC Radio 2. We hear a trailer for the new Alan Partridge show, followed by Tina Daheley saying "from one Alan to another Alan, Alan how bad was the fire at the back of your garden?"
A very weird and unflattering likeness of Tom Daley in a golden frame. It looks like someone's taken an already bad photo of him and then put it through a Photoshop filter to look like an oil painting.
A raised crossing over a side street to show that pedestrians have authority over turning vehicles. Blue bike lane alongside. Pretty flower bed in between. Shell garage in the background and a raised DLR line at the side.
