The logo gives off strong Alan Partridge vibes, but then someone actually DREW that…
I took a look at Liz Truss's website for The Leconfield, her new Mayfair club asking for £500,000 from members to build it, and ran the images through the AI detection software Detesia, here's the results.
First the logo, "Substantial Evidence for AI involvement"

They had terrible trouble with the manual until Terrance came and sorted it out, etc (I only joke out of affection for the great man)…
There's more on our website, tenacrebooks.co.uk. Please order directly from us and help to support independent publishing. We have lots of great titles in the works for 2026, including the first authorised biography of Terrance Dicks and another Doctor Who book we'll be announcing before Christmas.

This was, much to my surprise, absolutely fascinating. All human life is here - fear of change even when it's change you like, smart people being outsmarted by clever people, research & preparation being beaten by vibes. Only thing missing is a Trump cameo.
I haven't blogged for ages, so I wrote far too many words about something that happened 40 years ago, and which nobody outside of America cares about.

I got to observe the endearing Dutch habit of casual swearing in English this evening, when the bus driver who picked us up from the plane dropped us at the wrong entrance to the terminal building. He waved us all back on the bus with “Sorry! Sorry! My mistake! Fuck!”

A heads up that diaries begin to sell out around this time, and we generally don’t restock.

Hey @gwr.com. Today I had a lovely chat with Jonny who did the trolley service on the 14.54 from Castle Cary to Paddington. With his car out of action, he walked 2hrs from Burnham to Slough at 2am to start his shift. Many would have thrown a sickie, probs me included. You have a hero in your ranks.

The thing about Stallone's new face is that if he'd actually been hit in the face as often as Rocky Balboa, it would look pretty much like that.

A good point is that the 'Ripper' stuff is bad because so often is taken out of context due to its notoriety. The late Victorian world is fascinating as is in some ways like our own but really horrible, deadly and violent. And there's a lot of documentation telling you what it was like for everyone.
The honourable exceptions are @hallierubenhold.bsky.social, for her book focusing on the women who were killed and restoring their humanity and dignity, and Katie, whose guided walk around the landmarks of the victims' lives, brings Hallie's work to life lookup.london/walking-tour...

Marvelling at the range of involuntary noises “one” finds “oneself” emitting in middle age:
*Standing up - dying manatee winched from mineshaft
*Sitting down - air escaping from punctured pouffe
*Bending over - concussed bison wrestled into sack
*Sneezing - final roar of once-proud warrior race

Oh GOD, working on a project in the Netherlands which has a lot of people on it, some of whom I don’t see often, is a MINEFIELD. Add the increased propensity of the Dutch to greet strangers, and you end up having to decide in a split second just how warm your response should be…
My favorite thing to do in fancy restaurants. A little wave or smile at people at complete strangers as if to say how nice to see you again - almost always reciprocated.
Pro move: put yourself at an advantage in conversation by saying: "Oh yes, we've met before!" every time you're introduced to a stranger, without explanation.
