British Council, Chennai, has been around since 1948.
I first visited it in 2010 as I looked at brushing up my writing skills, just before quitting uni and working as a motoring writer.
The library is now gone, the building's lease has ended, and the chance to relive good memories vanished.

Never miss a chance to take a photo of these. Still a looker after all these years.

I am a G-Shock convert. Got the GBD-300 last week and haven't stopped talking about it...
It has dual time (London + Chennai in my case), the inverted MIP display is the final word in legibility (even at weird angles), and the basic health & Bluetooth features ensure the phone stays in the pocket.

Nice Tata Safari Dicor 4x4. Unfortunate parking.

#carspotting from the grocery run this AM. I haven't seen the second-gen Touareg in a long time, so it was deffo a pleasant surprise. Same re the fairly well-kept Safari Storme 400. It was Tata's best effort with the car and it showed.

Okay, so if you (too) are here to claim that Porsches under the design direction of Tony Hatter looked the best, could you get in the queue please?

It has been a decade and half since Toyota brought out the Etios and Etios Liva. Probably the first launch event I was at.

Following a chat with the owner of this -- the story's out soon -- I realised how badly I need a 991.

Eco-friendly. Just need to get that EGR cleaned.
To all my friends here, have you been? Sorry for the silence, but I haven't a clue why I stopped being here. Was probably trying to 'unfuck' life.
If you too are in the same boat, *checks notes*, please like, share, and subscribe...

Finally started using Animal Intelligence. It's pretty obstructive, doesn't type on my behalf, and likes to sleep at work, but thankfully, it is exceptionally supportive -- probably more than humans. I fail to understand why people hate this AI.

A 'Seamaster' for roughly £8? Look, I might not be in a position to get a new Omega every year but it's not this bad...
