When "white sauce" in fish pie Contains cheese, it’s a lie. That’s a mornay.

Enough with the AI generated fake footage of 9/11. It was the first ever terrorist attack with camera phone footage. It was so grainy, watched it so many times in the Home Office in the aftermath. So disrespectful to fake it for clicks

Sometimes a service design mindset is not helping when all you really need to do is surrender to the ‘recruitment form which is slightly but critically different from the process in your last four departments’ But on the positive side: we are hiring 2 x g6 delivery managers, ads out v soon

That is great. I was in Homerton yesterday and unreasonably amused / impressed by the giant pictorial signs on the relevant doors ‘TOILET’ ‘SHOWER’ and now thinking we could implement this at home with all regularly-lost possessions

- Why did this civilisation collapse? - Some of its finest minds were driven to madness by endless evenings refreshing websites to book their children's after-school activities. - But why did they not simply have websites that worked? - No one knows. Scholars differ.

Soft launch when everyone is distracted recovering from the England game...Product for the People is back on the 3rd September in Bristol. Less unconference-y this time - more corridor conference-y with three brilliant speakers and some lightly facilitated conversations. luma.com/rjsq2i36

In my career I have organised stuff involving PMs, celebs and royalty, in remote prisons and in freezing car parks with vehicles too large to travel on public roads. none of this compares to trying to corral 15 groups of y7 parents to one campsite

on a hotel balcony drinking cold beer from which I can ‘actually see into’ Pompeii ruins. 5th? time here and it never gets less exciting. my family are mostly very nicely tolerant ‘look guys, it’s only a 45m walk to the villa dei mysteri!’

Wow, so they actually bothered to replatform civil service pensions into a service which ‘doesn’t actually tell you how much your pension is’. love to see the early user stories version for this and the rag-rated critical path to go live.

Yes! Think of the lone dad with two tweens who was just trying to get to a rerun of JAWS but ended up in not only imax subway hell but a fetid bath of hideousness

I’m confused. Why did far right protestors circle the IMAX? What has the imax ever done to them, etc..

I really hope they all get lost on the wrong branch of the northern line and end up in High Barnet

I did not expect my morning to involve getting caught up with a load of far right protestors at Euston. People marching through the tube station using megaphones to sing Tommy Robinson songs, clearly intimidating staff, and me. not sure where the transport police are..
