James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Tbh it seems a fitting use for the piece once read. Easily beats the traditional cat litter tray 110
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Frankly I’m wary of anyone who thinks “an historian” is OK 001
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Legendary superyachts last week, the World Town Crier Champs in Chester this. Funny old job, this 000
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 18/09/2026More, you say? Be happy to. Honestly, what a beauty 031
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Fancy some Friday boatporn? Course you do. I've sailed for, ooh, 40 years: tallships, yachts, trad workboats, cargo deliveries. I'm not fussy. Atlantic has been a different level though - extraordinary boat, lovely crew. Helming her as we smoked along at 14 knots may be as good as my job gets 010
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This, my friends, has been a very good day. On board Atlantic in S France 010
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Some time ago in Botswana, I heard a hotel guest at breakfast moan that it was raining. “Yes, madam,” her guide replied. “It is a blessing.” Right now I’m sort of getting what he meant 000
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A while ago Icelandair thought it would be fun to stage an 11-hour musical on a London-NYC flight. It continued during the change at Reykjavik. That’s an emergency door job 000

James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Should add that I really couldn't give a toss about cars and speed records as I said to the editor who commissioned me 000
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Huge congratulations to Andy Green for the new land speed record. I interviewed him a decade or so ago - we got off on the wrong foot (long story), rescued things by talking about a shared love of sailing and ended up having a great chat james-stewart.com/bloodhound-a...james-stewart.comBloodhound Andy Green – JAMES STEWART 110
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 20/07/2026One of mine from the weekend – sailing, obviously, but really about the joy of simplicity; of stripping things back to basics.

James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 04/07/2026There's no point in being freelance if you can't decide to sack off work on a Friday 130
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 19/06/2026The 1930s Broads boat is laughable compared to some superyachts I've sailed on - equal parts Edwardian gentlemen's club and glorified tent. But I win today 010

James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I was receiving intermittently but couldn't send – consistent 504 errors or things sat in the Outbox for hours 000
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Same. I've been RB for c.25 years. An hour or two at its worst but we're now approaching 24 hours with no timelines for resolution and no real communication with customers. This could be me and RB done tbh 100
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Almost 24 hours on and now there’s no service at all. Service status is red across the board. I now can’t even set up an autoreply to say “call me”. Do you timelines please? 000
James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 05/03/2026“The Times has been told” by who? UAE government sources? UK opposition parties? Dave down the pub? Without some sort of source this is just meaningless. Six days into Iran it’s been relentless grift from right-wing media 031

James Stewart @itsjamesstewart.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Plus there's the line: "It's all very well to scream at me that the medical establishment knows best… but I was also someone who got spooked by the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine". Just one nonsense explanation after another 140
