Personally, I’d settle for a single lock. I just want my earnings to increase by inflation for once.

When the GFC began unfolding in 2007, I was only a couple of years removed from my brief stint as a trader and was still following financial markets closely. I remember being struck by how little public alarm there seemed to be. Anyway, I’m not sure why that came back to me just now…

Lovely sunny morning so I’m going into the office to feel the sunshine reflecting off the Arts Tower building.

I do enjoy my old college’s alumni emails: Could you donate a) £500, b) £5000, or c) £50000? My friend, I found 50p on the bedroom floor yesterday and that went straight into the cash-for-haircuts pot.

Starting to wonder if NERC's plan for the July 2025 PtF round is to keep their head down and just hope we all forget we submitted a proposal.

I wrote an article for The Conversation about birds' often overlooked sense of smell. From vultures that detect gas leaks to citrus-scented seabirds - read more below:

Humans and birds both have an underappreciated sense of smell.

This is all starting to look like a "we can't put the shit back in the donkey" situation.
