Is there a Bizarre Love Triangle?

OK so my suggestion is that instead of putting the oil price up, which everyone agrees is very alarming, you just make the barrels smaller but charge the same, and that won't cause nearly as much uproar. It's a clever little trick that I like to call "reduceflation"

See also the umpteen London football clubs that have this as walk-on music. At least QPR have the excuse that the bloke who wrote the thing is a season ticket holder.

Two more FA Cup games coming up.
This twice.

At least the women’s race was brilliant.

I love Pocagar, but he’s ruined my afternoon by just riding away solo, yet again, to (probably) win Strade Bianche. Getting a bit dull now.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Love it!

‘What fresh hell is this?’

It’s an amazing show. Enjoy - and the bright lights of Hammersmith.

It’s like a David Byrne song, in a good way.

Had the Battle of Turnham Green as my banker Pointless answer. But it wasn’t to be.

I’ll be at Waterstones on the 12th of May, talking to the lovely @sanglesey.bsky.social about my new book.

Drinks afterwards, maybe a club. Who knows.

Tickets here or in the link in my bio - www.waterstones.com/events/marti...

‘Liverpool handed tough test’ (in this completely irrelevant simulation).

Arsenal get Atalanta as Chelsea face PSG in simulated Champions League last 16 draw All six Premier League teams are waiting to discover their fate in the Champions League last 16

This is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen. A simulated Champions League draw making the headlines in the Standard. www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

£1,000 per week, or as it is known to tradespeople in Nottingham, Yates’ Rates.

The safest place might be to put them in your Stradivarius violin case and store them safely in the luggage rack of train.

i would simply not take my Fabergé eggs to a Soho pub.

This extraordinary building is in Hammersmith. The brief was presumably something like ‘make my new office block look like it’s falling down and structurally unsound’.

Yeah, I wouldn’t touch anything at that buffet

This is very Irish in style. See @fotoole.bsky.social’s We Don’t Know Ourselves (the best book I read last year).

It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

French Alps 2030. Make the dream real.

It has lower drag apparently. 🤷
