Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

A couple more seasons like this one and he'll be ready for a Lions Tour.

Yes, that's a good point re the bar.

I wouldn't expect 300 to be chased down too often on four hours, but it does give pause for sure.

The shock of the Nou There was a collective will at work in Barcelona's stadium last Wednesday. And Martin Amis - after a long, strange trip - was just another face in the crowd

I'm sure I'm not alone in being (informally) advised by my union representative - best decision I ever made.

Not so many reps around any more.

A ★★★ review of The Stranger (2025) As the closing credits remind us, The Cure's song may well be better than Albert Camus's book, which, like Kafka's Metamorphosis, is best read young and then left alone. Francois Ozon's film, shot in ...

★★★★★ AVENUE Q @shaftesburytheatre.bsky.social - We need that puppet sex now, and the rest - can it be as good as it was 20 years go? Of course it can! says @garynaylor85.bsky.social, with great enthusiasm for a fantastically entertaining show www.theartsdesk.com/theatre/aven...

How disappointing to see one of the biggest history podcasts asking for editors to have experience using AI picture and voice generators. History media is impacted enough by slop and nonsense, and many talented artists, writers, filmmakers and designers put out of work. Awful.

Review: IPHIGENIA, Arcola Theatre Beautifully conceived and (largely) well executed production that provides much food for thought in our troubled times

Thanks for the clarification. I'm amazed that barristers aren't higher.

I think there might be a bit of skewing as some, like Harry Brook, get pulled out of the state system quite late on scholarships.

It is disappointing of course.

I suspect that's quite low compared to some professions. Not that it's an excuse.

I also think England rugby might be even more slanted.

A ★★★★★ review of Amélie (2001) A little late to this (parenting rather circumscribes one's opportunities for a night at the flicks) but what a delight, right now, to see a feelgood movie filled with charm, romance and, this is the real kicker, wit. Audrey Tautou, whose iconic big black eyes and goofy grin tells you all you need to know really, is our waitress in an old school Parisian cafe, filled with souls, like her, attempting to get a foothold on a life that might just be sliding by. Somehow she can pass somewhat unnoticed despite looking like a French film star and wearing a

A ★★★ review of Elvis (2022) This is a Baz Luhrmann film or, I should say, a BAZ LUHRMANN film. If that wasn't irritating enough, it's also a Tom Hanks film, Hollywood's nice guy failing to shed off all those years of decency des...

A ★★★★★ review of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) I didn't much care for Baz Luhmann's Elvis biopic - too much Baz, and, let's be honest, a little Baz goes a long way. My heart sank when the opening titles also screamed BAZ!!!, but, hard though it is...
