News from a senior Whitehall civil service source: the general election is now being routinely referred to as 'the Jenny Lec'
Freecycle offer on the street WhatsApp. Thinking if I set it up in the garden, put a single bed in and fix a tarpaulin over it I could let it for £500pcm
Pleasant evening walk trying to hear nightingales in the Lee Valley -

The nineties threw up two sixties influenced bands. One, with a likeable frontman, went on to create a brilliant body of work. The other, led by an arsehole in leather trousers, quickly became a pub Stones tribute act. Why were Primal Scream bigger than The Charlatans?

For those of us who wear it daily as ordinary attire - the tweed community, if you will - this event has the effect not just of subjecting our lifestyle to ridicule but further of grotesque cultural appropriation. So I call on the Mayor of London to ban this disrespectful farce

@sobanoodle @sturgios God, if forgotten that one. And I worked on it too...
When I reported on people living in run down tower blocks in the 90s, they recalled loving them when new. What destroyed that was complete lack of maintenance of common areas, poor building security and design flaws like an underground car park for carless residents. Rich people…

News from a senior Whitehall civil service source: the general election is now being routinely referred to as 'the Jenny Lec'
@sturgios As kids we’d get the Central Line from Bethnal Green (closest) out to Ongar or N Weald because you came out more or less in countryside and we’d spend the day climbing hay ricks and scrumping. Thank you Red Ken for the Red Bus Rover and more or less free tube travel for kids.
@sturgios Osterley's obelisk would look quite nice atop that cylinder.

@sturgios Piccadilly Line. Obvs. Which is it? An Ealing? I used to get a bit excited every time I alighted at Chiswick Park.
