Food, France, friends, The Arsenal, technology and pets. Who needs more, bar an oddly placed fada? Used to live in N16, still drinks coffee in W1A as an International Snr. Technical Project Manager. En_croute elsewhere...

THIS is what a microwave - with an adjustable wattage - is for.
FACT!

[As opposed to one that does full power for 10 seconds, off for 20s]

London is named after famed mudlark LONg DON dingle who was over seven feet tall.

In 42AD he became very rich by scavenging oyster shells from the banks of the Thames, turning them into shoes and selling them to Roman soldiers.

Musk equating #Adolescence (which was already in production) to the tragedy of Southport is like saying that he got the idea for reusable rockets from the #YoungSheldon TV programme. Clearly wrong, shit-stirring and, unfortunately, what we've come to expect from this USA administration these days.

Harry Potter and the unpaid tax bill A London Centric investigation reveals one of the capital's most garish gift shops owes hundreds of thousands of pounds in unpaid taxes — and uncovers its mysterious owners.

It is, er, somewhat similar in facts and structure to the piece I published in December and have bored on about since then to the point that if you follow me on here you’re probably sick of hearing about it. www.londoncentric.media/p/harry-pott...

Why I Left the Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that move—it appears here in full—I decided...

This week I left The Washington Post after 40 years, 6 months and 6 days. Today I have a piece in the New Yorker explaining my heart-breaking decision, and including the column that was spiked. I wish I never had to write it. www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

Can the US Federal government force a college to expel a student, who is essentially a customer? Other than threaten funding, surely it's not directly enforceable?

Marmalade 2025 achieved. One batch of whisky marmalade and one batch flavoured with dry and red vermouth, the ingredients of a local cocktail, the Marseillanais. I used Noilly Prat vermouth, which is made less than 100m from my kitchen. #portlife #marmalade
