I'd just like to say, Vodafone UK is the worst, most chaotic, badly run company I have ever dealt with, and if you ever think of using them, please, please think again.
My piece in The Independent on Mike Lynch. Although we went to the same school and hung out in a lot of the same places, I didn't know him - but met him in 2016 to discuss a project he wanted to do. Nice, amusing guy from whom I learned a lot. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…
Where to imprison this distinguished confederation of village idiots, school bullies and psychopaths? Perhaps the Bibby Stockholm, towed out to sea, so it can bob around in the ocean a bit. Drop in some ready meals once a week and let them get on with it for a few years.
Dear @TonysChocoUK_IE. Your chocolate is very nice indeed BUT do you seriously think this Easter egg is a fair deal? Really?
Is there any email subject line that gets you as excited as "We’ve updated our Terms and Privacy Statement"? And is there a single person on Earth who's ever read one?
Can anyone help with a contact in the LG UK press office? They don't answer emails or voicemails. I could go to another more professional Korean electronic company, but I'd love to give LG one last chance to sell more products.
I’m in a waiting room at the Hammersmith Hospital watching Sky News live. At least it was live nine days ago. Anyone know how it’s possible to have rolling news that’s over a week behind time? Update: The consultant I just saw says it’s puzzling everyone. Suspected time warp.
Amazon have come a long way, haven’t they, from books by post to, er, ice cream vans. I know how Amazon encourages employees to come up with new ideas. I’d love to see the pitch for this one.
Doe anyone have a press / media contact for @Airbnb_uk ? So far they're proving either too overworked, too lazy, or possibly too useless to respond to an inquiry about what it is actually a nice story.
When you realise you have too much tech. This morning I forgot where I put down my @Ember mug. I can already control the coffee temperature from a phone app. But for at least several nanoseconds, I was quite irritated that I couldn’t geolocate the mug. Or at least get it to bleep

Leica is my favourite camera brand by some distance, but it's hard not to think this Disney-themed Q2 is not an early April Fool: leica-camera.com/en-GB/photo…
Someone has sent me a Word doc in which the English text has turned phonetically into Greek letters. So I don't need to translate it, just to return it to English letters. Any ideas? The Internet can't help. I use Office 365. I think the sender was using an earlier Word version.
Does anybody know who does the PR for Samsung TVs? Like most press people, they seem to keep their details a closely held secret, presumably to avoid getting annoying coverage.
