He drives a Tesla, not sure he would understand a joke

I’m hoping you’ll bring it to the curry meet

When I was doing my masters year at Oxford there were quite a few masters students who had done their degree at Cambridge. I never swapped sides. I think they call it transitioning now

I really enjoyed the first one. Does feel like the camaraderie and chemistry between the three of them has been greater in the promotional interviews than it was in the first episode but it still worked. Loved the fact they went to Sandy Shores from GTA. Also spotted what I’m sure was Harry’s Road ...

Sad. I remember him far more for Me and My Girl than anything else but he was great. But I may have watched mainly for Joanne Ridley.

I think you have the smallest stomach of the three slides Tim - first guy looks like his is being held in by the leathers

70% of your running on electric? Impressive.

Just for the last month or so. I haven't been away much in August and realised I'd only used half a tank of fuel (and a good few charges) by the middle of the month so made a conscious effort to try to get 1000 miles out of the tank - and not to fill ...

Tim, I am not at all up to date on motorbikes. Is the 1250 preferable to the 1300? I assume new bikes don't yet have speed limit bongs and attention assist and so on like new cars. Yet.

Love that. 'Working' implies actual water though

I have discovered a new tactic to deal with AI in my job. I produced a fairly robust form of overage deed (one of my specialisms) and we received 5 pages of comments back which looked like the product of AI - which was indeed confirmed by the other party to my client directly.

My response was ...

Over 1000 miles on a tank of fuel. I'll probably fill up this evening.

I see James Orr is associate professor of ethics (!) at Cambridge University. I wonder if he'll be sacked by the university like Jason Arday? This behaviour seems entirely incompatible with that role.

Explosive Newt have you considered moving to Oxford instead to get away from these political ...

I'm happy to go to Bewdley. What is parking like - do we just use the big car park in front of the new medical centre?
Gavin and I talked about another curry and when we organised it last year there was a suggestion of a place on the Bromsgrove-Kidderminster road - the Chennai Lounge I think?
I've ...

Both our chargers are under cover so don't get hit by direct sunlight. So you might find some sort of shade solves the issue.

Blimey, makes my 7 weeks for air-con warranty repair seem short.

I do really like the Wallace and Gromit one and will probably get it. Though I have heard this type of larger scale more detailed model described as 'display slop' - on the basis that it deviates quite a long way from what Lego was really all about, no play features etc. And I can see that. I've ...

We have both Ohme Home Pro and Andersen Quartz chargers. Both have been solidly reliable, the only glitch being that an R5 doesn’t like the combination of an Ohme and Octopus smart charging but that was fairly easy to solve by turning off smart charging. The car’s fault I believe - we didn’t have ...

Just fed my stepdaughter’s cats while she’s away this weekend. The youngest has just turned 1 and is still very kittenish. Enjoy the kitten time, it seems to disappear very quickly.

Sunny is very cute

Cool post, we’ve been doing European road trips as family holidays for the last few years too. we were in Belgium last easter and I saw that zoo but we’d already been to an amazing one in Loire valley so didn’t think it would match it - it looks incredible!


Was that the zoo at Doue La ...

It might sell for half that. I suspect it simply won’t sell at all. Even at £45k you’d have to be mental because registering it is either not possible or going to cost a fortune.
