One of my favourite facts. Wonderful in that, and in Cabin Pressure too - what a loss!

Isn't loss weird... You're bumbling along minding your own business and then... What I wouldn't give for one more day with our dog, Dulcie. What I wouldn't give. Humans I've lost too, of course. Obviously.

The way SVT revealed their exit poll was incredibly Eurovision - cutting to the parties at their respective... parties... and full-on "Sweden Democrats, the public have given you... ... ... ... 17.2%"

They took a big step towards a news programme designed for the digital age - it would work very well as a podcast, its very clippable for YouTube etc, they just seem incapable of going the whole way

After the French shop assistant spoke to me in perfect English I attempted to apologise for my terrible French, in French. He thought I was speaking German and replied in fluent German. Anyway, it's been a good life.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that if there's even a small chance it's something serious, there's no way I'm trusting an online wizard or chatbot

Really nice day enjoying the #BBCProms in Gateshead and Sunderland. Surprises, delights, and some really blissful moments too. Plus my first glimpse of the new, gorgeous and very exciting CultureHouse Sunderland where I'm planning to record some arty farty sector podcasts.

Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man was the first piece I heard performed live by an orchestra*. It triggered a totally unexpected, electric, visceral reaction to classical music - unlocking a lifelong love. Cracking start to #BBCProms * Raymond Gubbay Classical Spectacular at the Utilita Arena

A person can be disqualified from being an MP by being appointed to one of the stupendous number of posts listed in Sch 1 House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975. I often feel we should use those for resignations in addition to the traditional ones. (Director of Flexibus Ltd, for example!)
