My comedy preference leans towards the dark, twisted & cynical. But Detectorists is hands down one of my favourite shows of all time.

It oozes pathos. It's so honest and sincere with it's sentimentality, I don't think it ever becomes mawkish. And it's absolutely hilarious.

Delighted to see this Bill being brought forward. I hope it won't be voted down simply because politicians think it's too difficult to craft good policy. That would be lazy & cruel.

Daniel Johnson MSP and Donald Cameron I shall be corresponding with you over the coming weeks & months!

Did you know Scottish Rugby will only let you attend a game if you own a smartphone? How's that for digital elitism!?

Looks like I need special dispensation from Scottish Rugby to bring my kids to #GuinnessW6N

No, this photo is not Ukraine. This Is Chechnya. In 1999, the capital Grozny was destroyed by the Russians. But 3 years earlier, Russia signed a peace treaty with the Chechens. They had lost the war and needed a pause. Only to go back and kill up to 300,000 Chechens, 25% of the

Predictions for the upcoming Tucker-Putin interview:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you got a stew going. #RIP

An excellent piece by Rory Sutherland. All my employees work remotely (or have the option to work remotely).

A little-known benefit of a remote workforce is that bosses finally have enough space to install personal humidors in the office for the first time since the 70s.

In Brazil, the bald uakari is rather rudely known as o macaco inglês. It means the English monkey.

Just a reminder that this was one of the ways The Post Office approached their 'investigations'

A single year just rolled down my cheek. The reign of terror is over.

This is a fairly long read that goes into some detail about exactly how The Post Office deliberately & knowingly covered up the scandal, threatened witnesses and suppressed media coverage.

I am now actively seeking a senior copy, editorial or content role, ideally in travel, arts, heritage or non-profit sectors. Ideally a hybrid role in the southeast. Somewhere near Gatwick wld be ideal.

This says it all.

In a fitting tribute to John Pilger, I am going to pretend he hasn’t died, just like he did with hundreds and thousands of people murdered by Gadaffi and Milosevic and Assad and Putin and so forth.

This Martha Gill column about assisted dying appears to major on it being difficult policy to navigate because of the need to safeguard.
