Consumer tech. Marketing things. Automation. Tottenham Hotspur. Scuderia Ferrari. SEO and PPC are my jam. I also like jam.

@Fshack82 @PolitlcsUK Wanted to become a global uni. Huge revenue opportunities from international students wanting to stay in their home countries but have a UK uni degree. Plus research / recruitment opportunities abroad I guess.

@JellybeansOW @A01752D @AvonandsomerRob I have an Omoda 9, 449hp and 90+ miles electric range (it's PHEV) so I commute on EV all week and it's absolutely superb. Quiet, comfy, full of tech, everything feels premium and it's lightning quick for its size and weight. Loved the BYDs too when I was comparing.

@CharlieRWalker @Piloto_Steve @AvonandsomerRob I think Omoda is more premium than BYD. I compared all three main Chinese brands and went with the Omoda 9, it was slightly more upmarket than the Seal-U. Interior quality embarrasses lots of European premium brands and tech spec they just can't match.

Things I've found while digging in my new garden:
🪩 A 36 year old pack of ready salted Discos (the salt and vinegar version of these were the best crisps ever as a kid) @CrispsOfBritain
🍆 A 17 year old condom in wrapper.
🪙 An empty wallet.
🍑 A Polaroid of a bum.

Overwhelming sense of relief not jubilation. A disgraceful season that can't be forgotten just because they got away with it. Totally unacceptable and heads must roll this summer amongst the hierarchy. This can never happen again.

@rorysutherland Never thought I'd see "erotic possibilities" in a Rory Sutherland tweet. The heat has gone to his head!
