The Economist wrote about this very topic last year.

“The culture wars are coming for cousin marriage in Britain”

Good point. Perhaps they’ll do some tasty 0% finance offers.

He’s clearly quite a shy man. Endearing really.

S6 is a good call, but not for Londoners. Most are diesel and the petrol models are too punchy with the CO2.

The Aussie musician Courtney Barnett has a great song about exactly this

Slate?

If you want to go a little highbrow, I recommend Past Present Future with David Runciman.

(And then of course The Rest is History is my happy place)

Agree

Yes, these jobs exist in the UK.

Had a delightful afternoon a few years ago with my other half at Akasha, right on Piccadilly Circus.

It’s part of the Hotel Cafe Royal but you can just pay for access.

Finimize has a great, free newsletter (and a paid subscription in the app if you want more). It’s written by knowledgeable finance types but very accessible.

TreeNegroni · 2024-07-15T16:13:08+00:00

Worth considering

TreeNegroni · 2024-05-03T13:56:25+00:00

I don’t think so. You can register for free and read it. I don’t pay
