On a recent trip to Germany I saw lorries on the Autobahn that were branded β€œDiscordia”.
One of the world’s most valuable companies is called Nvidia. Not to go all JR-M but I really wish people looked up their brand names’ meaning before going all in.

This week I’ve asked for advice, got some good advice, and followed the advice, which, if you know me, is unheard-of.

I once did a deeply puerile thing and rang the Home Office to ask for comment on the growing campaign to abolish the Home Office, which was basically "one think tank paper and some posts". The note of genuine panic in the flack's voice is something I cherish to this day. See how you fucking like it.
