Seems untimely to be so critical when a person has been so ill. Good luck @wself

Suella Braverman's excuse for sending government documents to her personal email account is technologically challenged. Split-screen software function on a large screen or adding a second physical screen would have worked just as well.

I was already aware that I own shirts older than Lamine Yamal. Today, I found a to-do list item that was older than him.

I just saw this sickening news about the best football journalist since Brian Glanville and it's another kick in the shins. People mock the 'mainstream media' but good luck understanding this world without excellent writing, deep domain knowledge and editors who care.

Four excellent tickets for Lloyd Cole in Newcastle on Friday - shout if you're interested.

Sad to hear the wonderful India Club on the Strand is closing. File near classic dead caffs such as the New Piccadilly, Centrale, Lorelei, Presto, & Gaby's Deli. Add pubs like the Pillars of Hercules & Carlisle Arms. Call those files The Last of London and fear for the future.

How to run a tech startup when a war is in the way...

Whatever your current problems, "team builder in Slough".

Failed yesterday's Wordle with three goes at one letter remaining. #firstwordleproblems

Please get in touch by mail with thoughts on the Blair/Hague 'redesign the state around tech' plan. #journorequest

So what do I have to do to get a League Cup Final ticket? Kidney, (post-Dry January) liver and basic sense of dignity available in part exchange.

Immediate global ban applied to the words/terms "fanbase", "woke", "virtue-signalling", "TED Talks" and "futurologist/future-watcher/future-gazer". More news as we get it.
