Hell of a headline

Interesting case with (unusually) a costs order. H represented by Peter Newman of 1KBW Chambers

At the risk of being a killjoy, anyone who's ever been on a board like this knows you start in a kneeling position. You're almost guaranteed to fall off you if stand when its stationary.

Which makes me think this was actually planned. Which is really, really sad.

this isn't good news
26 degrees is too hot for distance running...

Just had the experience of being berated in fast French for not saying bonjour before asking her where is the restaurant.

Apart from the awkwardness of being told off, there’s an interesting point here about formality of languages like French, Italian etc - cf English.

Going to an art gallery feels a bit ‘summit of Everest’

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Gullis eating soup with a fork. I watched Braverman try to deport a sofa. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.”

Excellent podcast, can’t recommend too highly, for anyone interested in football and leadership: by FT journalists Simon Kuper and Mehreen Khan

I remember a teacher saying there were few original ideals. If you’d come up with a design (he was a CDT teacher) there was a good chance other people had come up with basically the same idea.

Which might explain why my timeline has 50,000 jokes about the day of the triffids

It’s easily forgotten how brilliant John Smith was - I remember the shock of hearing he’d died in 94

A reminder of how brilliant Twitter can be:

One of the Simpsons writers @joshstrangehill on how one of the funniest episodes - the planet of the apes musical - was written

Spectators largely unmoved as I run by

Not holding much hope out for the planet given its approach to my wallet

It’s baffling to me how OVO can legally overcharge me, building up a “credit” of 2k. Then when I close the account, say it will take 3 weeks to refund (why?) - only to miss their own deadline so it’s now almost 5 weeks
