Can someone update this with a view between how long passed between the first and second series? At least three of these are c. 3yrs

When forced to discuss something you have no prior knowledge of, the key is to project an air of quiet confidence!

Teenager walking past me just said "I would rather go comfy and warm than cold and fancy" and yes girl, hang on to that.

This is basically every story that I write about London now, you don't have to want to live with Germany bureaucracy to want someone to do very basic checks. And the 'ease of setting up a business' is great (I've done it myself! It was so easy!) but unfortunately it's created scam central nation.

If this happens keep the pubs open late anyway and show a classic Doctor Who at 1am.

I'm by no means some veteran Hollywood insider, but I was once told "Everybody wants to be second" re: how the place operates, and god DAMN has that been the truest thing I've ever heard. Risk-averse to a fault, but once something's proven itself? Feeding frenzy. Whether it's a good idea or not.

My kid just told me off for my language

Every Mamdani scandal is like “he loves his mom and writes very well for a 15 year old”

The way I've gotten this across in talks to US audiences is to explain that by the time the Battle of Gettysburg was fought... ...the London Underground had already been open for six months.

This week, man.

want to see a magic trick

easy; because that one was happening to past-me and is finished, this one is happening to current-me and is ongoing

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

When someone in the UK has more than 40k followers on social media they should be legally required to declare which faction they favour in the endless conflict of Warhammer 40k.

Some kids from my primary school (including me) were interviewed on MoneyBox Live, aged 8-9, after a school trip to the Bank of England. Everyone else sounded terribly nice and well spoken and I burst in with "I didn't know there was million pound notes _ever_"

Mollie bought art that we wanted to buy which makes it _even more valuable_. Anyway everyone should come to outsider art club and also should buy things quickly and not silly dally

Currently lost in Stratford station, need to find a tiny door with three knobs, send help

If teenagers are banned from chat-with-strangers experiences, the League of Legends in-game chat is about to get 87% less toxic

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

At least half the time I feel really awful it's because I haven't drunk water for three and half days

That's a Pokémon not a bird.

Counterpoint: This is how everyone wears sunglasses.

This week's London Centric is... Wow.
