"You will be able to use your ticket tomorrow at no extra cost". GWR trains, spoiling me, after stranding me in the middle of nowhere for 13 hours.

Went to cash & carry at Yeovil yesterday. Bought 200 chocolate cigarettes and 48 tins of cat food.

Gorgeous day on Easdale island today #hebrides

My friend, actor Ed Flay, nailing it:

The race to head the IOC could scarcely be tighter. By my reckoning, if vote were held this week, the 1st round outcome would be something like this: COVENTRY 18, SAMARANCH 17, COE 15, LAPPARTIENT 14, FEISAL 13, ELIASCH 9, WATANABE 8 #olympics#sport

Thanks for slippers and rhubarb.

A couple of weeks into this new post and one thing that strikes me is the number of meetings, summits, and formats where the EU is at the table with Asian and Pacific countries (US, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, NZ, Indonesia, India etc) but the UK isn't. CPTPP feels v oversold to me.

The BBC, which pays its HR directors around £200k, expects a senior journalist on the UK's leading TV news programme to work for.. less than £40k?

the idea of 9,000 millionaires leaving Britain sounds dramatic until you remember there are 2,849,000 millionaires in this country it’s literally a rounding error given the ebb and flow of migration

Joined this place yesterday. It seems good. Thanks for the follows. In case you don’t know, I post old postcards and bits from the messages on the other side. Hope you like them. Tell your friends. Cheers, Tom
