Customer: 'I'd like the biggest car you have.' Sales: 'We have this, only it can't park itself for plot reasons.

Enormous black car slightly less than half way unto a parking space.

Surprised the Telegraph editors let this one slip though in the Mark Sedwill piece. Rather than 'Beijing, having invested in energy security for decades,' surely meant to write 'Beijing, having invested in expensive and unreliable energy instead of oil and gas'

Alas no welding mask here but a co-op tea foil bag does at a pinch.

I lost a lot of love for him after reading this bit. So 'there's an injustice in it' but he went ahead and did it anyway. And he has a couple of, I imagine, pretty well paid jobs already.

Excerpt from an interview with Alexander Armstrong who has Jay published a children's book.

'You think, vainly, "Oh no, my book is different, this is not me cashing in on my daytime TV fame, this is a much more considered and artistic endeavour." ... But there's no two ways about it. It's a monstrous cash-in. Obviously I think the book is a work of great creative endeavour, but you automatically get shunted to the front of the queue. You get interest from publishers that no other first-time writer gets, and you gobble up all the oxygen around the time of release. And the position in bookshops. There's an injustice there.'

Tim White and Chris Foss sold me a lot of books back in the day. It was a long time ago though and I can't give examples. Possibly this more recently 😅
