Close second: Badger’s Mount

The Prince of Wales Feathers, on Warren St, has some space upstairs which might work

can you explain all these gaps on your cv

yes that's to show where one word ends and the next one begins

It’s funny how every time a major media organisation is crippled or dismembered there’s an ex-Murdoch exec somewhere nearby. Probably just coincidence

You're welcome. Once a sub-editor...

In the penultimate para, David, did you mean 'isn't a big factor'? Or am I being thick?

Roland 'Jet' Phaser to you

For all those in envy of the leather cycling shoes, can I recommend these..? Rather fabulous williamlennon.co.uk/product-cate...

Bromley Chicken’s slogan is marvellously lacklustre...

This is very good on government by skimread. The business equivalent, of course, is MBA Brain (don't get me started...)

I agree, but this is hilarious considering that the website it’s on is utterly unreadable due to ads

It’s probably from these bastards. Hang on, though *disappears down Muzak-shaped rabbit hole* us.moodmedia.com/blog/history...

DD nicked that from Roxy Music. They would leave a number of bars in the middle of songs for loose improvisation, then kick back into a verse or chorus. Sounds like an Eno idea. Amusingly called a 'mince'. Probably nothing to do with Bryan's dancing style

Excellent typo in a newsletter just now: “The interview has been condescended and edited.” Has it really, dear? Really..?

Also, I've started hearing 'pork bites' in a Damon Albarn voice

Of all the mistakes to let through... really helps tell your readers how little you value their attention

You mean an hour orzo, surely

It's never quite as straightforward as that. Food critics mingle with chefs and restaurateurs all the time. They'll say vehemently that doesn't affect their scoring or judgement, but it may sway them on which places to cover or when, for instance

The good ones use it as background and separate PR fluff from what readers want to know. The less good ones, not so much...

To be fair, that's part of the problem/opportunity of all specialist journalists - travel writers get free trips, food journalists have dinner with chefs, product reviewers go to launches somewhere nice, etc etc.

One of the best things about the internet is that you can just make shit up. It's one of the reasons I invented it

I’m hiring a reporter for London Centric, looking for someone smart who can use a phone, knock on doors and wants to cause trouble. Don’t care if you’ve got qualifications, just want evidence of caring about news. Initial six month contract, pay above national rates. www.londoncentric.media/p/jobs

AMAZING

I'm getting '90s sportsbike vibes. Don't mind it, actually

A fashion piece with actual facts, historical context and knowledgeable people quoted? It'll never catch on. Nice work (wear)

Short scale. And a lot of Tina Weymouth videos

The London-Aix-Marseille direct Eurostar of a few years ago seemed to work fine (I know, I took it). The French border controls were in London, if I remember correctly

Any idea what's happening after March..?

Grandmaster Flash is swimming in his bear costume again.

He's like a Bungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how he keeps from going under.
