Today, I’m having a GAS with @rorysutherland, Vice-Chairman of @OgilvyUK.

A self described “Psychology Impresario”, an author, and sought after public speaker, Rory is one of the most notorious and beloved faces in the marketing industry.

@nilsleonard Surely ‘swoons for uncommon’? It’s definitely a love affair.

The Sopranos remains unmatched in its intricate portrayal of Tony Soprano and his internal and external battles as he juggles power, violence, guilt, and therapy.

I recently spoke with my friend @gregaveryowens about the greatest show of all time: https://t.co/Pp5U2i3B8I

@ItsTheRealScott @robkhenderson A colleague once said to me: “Are you Tony Soprano breathing?”

The BBC overview of Prigozhin sounds like an implausible, badly written mission briefing in one of the Hitman games.

An absolute pleasure talking to you, Nils.

Had a chat in our shop with the lovely guys from @having_a_gas and ended up wanging on about style, pitching, lyrics, @maxjohnporter @ArcticMonkeys and found myself basically giving it all up.

@nilsleonard @LucyJameson_ Next stop…

@PicturesFoIder I start by turning 27 into 30 to make it easier.

27+3 = 30.

So I take my 3 away from the 48.

48-3 = 45.

Now all I have to calculate is 30+45.

As you can tell, I last studied maths when I was 16.

16+14 - maths = chaotic mental arithmetic.

@AvantiWestCoast What's going on here? I'm given one price. I accept. It says I've selected a journey that's "outside the time restrictions" even though I hadn't changed journey times. It then recalculates at more than twice the price. Is there something I'm missing?
