booking/hotels.com feature idea: show me hotels with rooms where they don’t have those cubicle bathrooms, so I won’t see my partner sit on the toilet and won’t hear them break wind and “drop bombs”

It’s easy to type “Tron: Arse” rather than “Tron: Ares”.

Running* 7km along Regent’s Canal from the top end of Shoreditch down to end of the canal at Limehouse Basin, done. ✅ (Just a couple more chunks of the canal and I’ll have done it all, when I’ve had chances.)

One person’s Confluence hatred is another person’s Notion hatred. And so it all loops round and round.

I do keep seeing long papers and blogposts with shiny ideas and bright solutions for NHS (test and learn all the things! single patent records! SOLID pods!) Personally I'd prefer some more human-level stuff that gets under skin of why some basic service stuff seems to be going so wrong & fixes it

That * “Half” * My runner number, 8902 * The space to write _something_ on my Royal Parks half marathon bib sheet looks more like a maths question.

The emails from Companies House about having to verify my identity as a business owner feel they’re more soft nudges that they’ve done something to their verification service so it might actually work if I try now.

It was nice to what looked like a pristine @codalmighty.bsky.social Ivano T-shirt in the wild at Barnet yesterday — even if I *still* see a few things that need fixing with the design. Maybe it’s time for some redux designs

Every time I am at King’s Cross — which is a lot — I see the masses outside the Harry Potter shop and the platform 9¾ thing — because I need the toilet and that’s where it is — and something something JK Rowling won’t ever worry if we think she’s anti trans something something.

Seeing out the running week with my regular 5km loop from KX to Camden and back. Trotting past the British Library, a month until their exciting looking Secret Maps exhibition: events.bl.uk/exhibitions/...

Still, had a good look at the Tottenham stadium today on my morning 10km, rinsing that they’ve actually won something. And Arsenal’s place too. ⚖️

My football team does that thing on social media when they do well they post stuff like “THIS TEAM!” Feel they should balance that with stuff like “THAT TEAM.” when they’re the exact opposite. Is it positivity? But is it more balanced? ⚖️ (Yes, Grimsby were terrible at Barney.)

This week had a mega head scratching chat with some v smart people on the differences, similarities, overlaps between a product, delivery and project manager. tldr it's obvs not as simple as: the product manager does the "what" and "why"; "how" and "when" is for a delivery/project manager. Anyway.

18 September. Happy birthday “that’s a magnificent piece of football”. The third goal is 😙👌. 35 years ago though. 😩 #GTFC youtu.be/JMMLnLoVcB8?...

Just logged into LinkedIn (busy day/life OK…) and it served up an unboxing video from someone I, as a peer, have time for. I get marketing and reach but…

A trip to Sheffield tonight, Hillsborough stadium to be exact. April 2003 I was last there, when Town drew 0-0 with Sheff Weds and sent us both down. Time flies… Not a meaningless goalless affair tonight. Up the Mariners! #UTM #GTFC

“Europe is in the midst of almost completely deindustrialising the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.” By “industrial” does Wright mean factories with smoke spewing chimneys?

They say what about the meek? I say they've got a bloody cheek, vanity and presumption, living in the hard porn shop lately

[new blog post] A bi-monthly note. Why not. www.officeofwilson.com/bi-monthly-n...

People talking about paying for a tax advisor like it’s the sort of thing working class people have the cash about (and thought) to do. If a personal tax system needs that sort of arse covering then who is the tax system actually aimed at?

When I hear Felix White (from the Maccabees) is doing some sports thing I always think “oooo it’s Felix [Buxton] from Basement Jaxx! that could be fun!”. And then I remember that’s the wrong Felix. All those Felixes, eh. (Never a mix up with Felix da Housecat though. 🤷‍♂️)

Can't tell from the trailers which movie has the most effects shots: * Tron Ares: youtu.be/h8VJ0LSi5gQ?... * Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale youtu.be/P_30wFRxlnA?... (I'm not even being sarcastic here.)

Dude, they've been reading screens at HMRC, linking old systems and new systems for at least 10 years. Do keep up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

lol just had a team retro have you, Thomas? that's the vibe when people don't see the point

Breaking up your Raynor reckons to share the new Saint Etienne album is an absolute banger -- and has stronger Saltaire ties than I initially thought (Bob living here aside).

The Roses. One of those films I was “wwwhhhhyyy?” After watching it: It’s the most I’ve laughed at the cinema since The Lego Movie, maybe Fight Club.

2025, and freshly printed (on social media): “The Smiths is Morrissey.” “Morrissey is part of the Smiths.” “We can agree to disagree.” “Poor Morrissey.” “Marr pushed him to sell up.” And it goes on and on. 🤐 (Also, how little the World’s Best Ever Rhythm Section get a shout out in those posts.)

As we roll into September I am rolling back into the office at Assembly in Bradford, after a couple of months working everywhere-but. I left my inside IR35 role at NHS England last month and have gone back to freelancing/consulting, genuinely been great, refreshing, even saying "no" a bit. 1/2

“I’ve started introducing any meeting with the context why we’re here _to help the AI_.” 😒 Helpful for anything, anyone on a call, yes? Just good meeting habit.

Stopped on my regular canal path morning run to talk to a Sustran researcher. Questions were very biased towards cycling and my activity being _a commute_ rather than on wider usage. But anyway, being asked “does using the towpath help with your wellbeing?” was a goodie. YES MATE! LOCKS! BOATS! etc

Cost of living crisis (because it’s still very much there). Country’s economy gone to shit. And yet £3bn spent by Premier League clubs this summer on fees for players…

💸 Ah, the lad’s first uni accommodation bill has come through. 💸 💸 And in about two months I’ll need to shell out the same again for a deposit for where he’ll live from next September. 💸 💸 And in four months he’ll need the same amount for his first year’s second term accommodation. 💸

Watching the highlights from last night's Grimsby-Bradford game. Couldn't see Browne's dismissal due to low angle in the stands and players in the way. Now: Browne went in for the ball first and got sent off lol. Refs refs refs. No wonder Artell won't talk about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXTf...

That thing when you get a text message from your GP surgery about getting the flu vax, you want to support the surgery, click, find all the slots for the first 6 weeks have gone already so you ask the pharmacy and they're "oh we'll be walk-ins from about the same date". Easy. Sorted.

Just made a donation through JustGiving. They default to a *17%* tip to themselves, which the slider lets you reduce to a minimum of 12.5%. Clicking “Enter custom amount” changes it to £1.50, with weaselly words about how it saves charities money. JG made more than £31m before tax on £59m of income.

Valley Parade tonight. Mainly so I can have some four successive Town games for the first time in a long time. But also, get behind the boys, y’know.

Seen a lot more than usual England (football) shirts being worn the last few weeks. Is this a um “pride” thing too?

Had a dream I was going into a game at Harrogate Town (I v rarely have football in dreams). I was asked to produce my passport and driving licence as well as the ticket, “that’s how we do things round here, it’s in the small print on your ticket”.

1st September tomorrow, aka the last glimmers of summer, aka the days will feel shorter all of a sudden, aka the start of winter running habits. 😔

I've spent the last three years researching Grimsby Town FC for my PhD. So in the wake of last night, I wanted to write a piece on what makes #GTFC such a special club, and what Manchester United can learn from the supposed "little fish" of English football. joshbland.substack.com/p/the-real-b...

Days I'd never thought I'd see: 1. A Grimsby game being the inspo for a whole set of memes. 2. A Grimsby game being the inspo for a whole set of... _thought leading_ LinkedIn posts about being a manager under pressure. [goes to write a post about what an inspiration David Artell is as a manager]

I could say something here which would be viewed as Political. So fuck it. Jason Stockwood is one of the big reasons Grimsby Town as a football club is full of hope and verve — and his belief over the recent years it can help the town is infectious. 🖤🤍 www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Jesus, chief marketing officers with no experience of *actually doing the/any creative work* over on LinkedIn saying they can’t wait for some Google AI tool that’ll “unleash my inner creative”. FML

Been a pretty uneventful, quiet 24 hours. You?

In Thursday's Miss Guest diary: grim for Amorim but swell for Artell codalmighty.com/site/ca.php?... #gtfc

Two Man Utd supporting mates knocking today at my Instagram front door feels curious timing. 🤔

Can I draw your attention to the running list on @codalmighty.bsky.social of managers who have lost their jobs after playing Grimsby Town FC. You’re welcome. codalmighty.com/site/ca.php?...
