Over 40 years ago this was broadcast on BBC South Today, I had hair in those days! And side burns it seems 😄
Anybody else remember Oche's Darts Club in Brunswick Square, sadly it didn't last long?

White men, imagine you go for a job. The interview panel is three black women. The board of directors is all black women and has been, without exception, forever. You notice that all supervisors are black women and the only white man you see is cleaning. The company insists they appoint on merit /1

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.
New Coke: A Warning from History
If, like me, you’re British then your knowledge of New Coke is likely to be (a) it was a massive failure, (b) everyone hated it, (c) it was a terrible business decision, and, if your go-to re…

Good news for people who like to hemorrhage money in a place that looks like a cross between a motorway service station and a leisure centre.

Not many expected England to win in Brisbane but given that the last 2 years has been solely about winning in Oz to the detriment of the CC (Kookaburra ball, concentrating on fast bowlers, ridding us of county stalwarts, not letting Eng players play many county games) then we should be punching..

Great stat from Alfie House, #SaintsFC have scored two or more goals in all 6 of Eckert's games, not since Adkins in league 1 have they done that.

I suspect you have to be quite racist to stand out as "the racist guy" at a boys public school of the 1980s.

The two trials I sat on a jury for were a complete waste of time and money, two fairly minor crimes (not minor to the victims obviously), should never have gone to a jury in the first place.
By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.
This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!
The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.
