Defending Bladed Irons After Rory McIlroy moved to cavity back irons, Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg defends the use of bladed irons, no matter a player's ability.

Golf hardos love to tell you that you shouldn't be playing blades. They fundamentally misunderstand why some of us play the game. Don't let em bully or shame you. #YOTB

Triple-decker?

New triple-decker variant of Boris's vanity bus unveiled to cope with bus network overcrowding? https://www.flickr.com/photos/bitospud/16364643195 #YotB

Well that's Q11 of @lonrec Xmas quiz spoilt RT @TfL: BUS FACT: The most westerly TfL bus stop is Slough in Buckinghamshire on route 81 #YOTB

Still a little starstruck and excited that bsky.app/profile/twitter.bitoclas... actually happened: :) #Roastmaster #yotb

"That's gonna come back to bite us!" chuckled a TfL man supervising when I made this happen: #yotb #Roastmaster

Queuing for a #Roastmaster containing voice of iBus Emma Hignett. Want to ask her to say "30… to… degrees on the upper deck" #geddit #yotb

#yotb vintage bus cavalcade must be costing TfL a fortune to bring to Regent Street - all those Low Emission Zone charges to pay themselves.

In the meantime, we're going to have a quick look up Regent Street at all these buses, and that Lego bus stop… #yotb

I bet today's Year Of The Bus cavalcade with buses from all eras will omit a certain 2002-2011 era… #bendybuses #revisionism #yotb
