It's the Dudding Hill Line... and a bit of the North London... and a bit of the Hounslow loop. More importantly, it needs to be electrified.

I think we’re deep in an ignorance crisis, caused primarily by people’s phone addiction - for example, the two (three?) people having a full blown conversation on the pavement outside my (open) bedroom window at 0630 this morning. It was still dark!

I have just had to run half a mile through Glasgow with a heavy case, because the roads to the station are blocked by Batman filming. This is how you end up with so many arch-enemies, arsehole.

I love the internet in 2026. Where a celebrity has barely been dead for 24 hours and there's already ghoulish AI videos of them across social media. Truly an exceptional use of technology. Well done everyone.

First got emergency alerts for fires in Southern California in 2017 (delayed as I had no roaming to had to wait until joined WiFi and they all came in together). Anyway, we shrugged and had dinner outside at Disneyland as ash rained down on our pizzas.

As with so many part of the UK public realm, there's a graph and it shows "something happened in 2010 and we became a society with lesser public capacity to respond to unexpected challenges"

Hi, I'm being made redundant by the University of Southampton at the end of this month. I'm desperately looking for work. I'll consider all offers but have particular skills in policy, strategy and research. I also have a consultancy service I offer. Please let me know if you hear of anything

I’m on a delayed train (hurrah for delay repay!) with crap phone signal, surrounded by passengers with their sweaty shoes off and chronic flatulence, and trying to follow the England game like I’m waiting for news from Shackleton’s trip to the Antarctic.

I know the Clacton poll is a serious matter (🙄)but I am becoming increasingly concerned about the inaccurate use of the “dogs dinner” idiom. It means ‘dressed up fancy’ not ‘ a mess’. That’s a dog’s breakfast.
