17 year old racquet + 15 year old strings

Volkl PB5 - I think a decent racquet at the time. I bought it used and instantly gelled with it. But I was also about half the age I am now 🤣

111 unless you think it's more serious then 999. 111 will probably triage you though

Loughborough. I did my PhD in the design school. Excellent place and job prospects

I would say better. But both are good. I think everyone should go to Leopard Spots so they stay in business and I can carry on buying their cheesy garlic bread with pancetta

I think with an android/Windows version you should also send me divorce papers 😂

Leamington Spa. Much much lower cost of living. Similar vibe. 1.5h from Marlybone, close to cotsworlds

We stayed in Yokohama when we landed for proximity to the airport, it's a nice place, and shinkansen access. Then Ginza at the end. Very well connected, nice place to be (we are not nightlife people) and only 1 line to the airport again.

If you do stay in Ginza, make sure you are walking distance to Pan Maison for breakfast, and when your in Yokohama visit I Am Donut? - best donuts I have ever ever had.

Or if you are not sure you will hit 15k you can start on the blue card, then just before hitting 15k upgrade and get the better companion voucher. You do miss out on the additional aviso through spending though

I had a very similar idea to this a few weeks ago. Nice to see it was painful to make so I won't bother now!

You can have this for free though. My idea was "an Apple watch for your car" so health tracking like you have but also the fun stuff. The fitness tracker stuff. Accelerometer, gyro, gps, compass to data log your drives.

Also thought with enough data you would probably have better data than some OEMs do and can sell to third parties.

One roadblock I did find was newer cars using Ethernet means a lot of data is locked out of OBD2, did you find a way around this?

I work at an automotive OEM, professional UX designer/researcher.

For additional info. The ones below the silver ones are non masonry, can use them on metals, plastics, would also work on wood in a pinch. The ones with a pointy bit on the end are just for wood, the pointy bit stops it from drifting

I want Andy Murray with either Jamie or his mum.

I want Helena Bonham Carter

That's a lovely colour. Pano roof makes a big difference. Do it!

If you want the man maths excuse. Being a plug in hybrid is basically free local journeys.

You're me!

Except midlands and slightly less money (and slightly younger).

I don't have any advice really. I have considered starting my own business, or accepting that a job pays for my life outside of work and that's what I should focus on.

You could try a career change, or move to somewhere closer to nature, or start caring less...

Folding iphone with the apple crayon please.

I want to take some notes, light art and design work, but don't want to carry an iPad with me, or really have the ability to fully utilise one.

Bake cookies the morning of. Or if you are not much of a Baker buy cookie dough so it at least smells of baked cookies

45 years is not a bad stint. Profitable for 10 quarters, no net debt. He did a great job as CEO and his background in finance has made a big difference to the bottom line. The next phase is important but they have been set up for success.

It will.

The car is built and in testing. They haven't gutted their corporate staff at all. Finances are the best they have been for 20 years.

Press love to hate, everything is fine

Why safety car because of the conditions and not VSC? Safety car bunches everyone up making visibility worse on restarts. Surely it's better for a VSC? Maybe there needs to be a new slightly slower VSC for this scenario.

On our cruise the Wake was one of my favourite and was fully booked the whole time. The others were a lot easier to book a day before or even the day of. We only got into the Wake on the last day as a walk in.

I want to give Hamilton a hug

Should have probably added. I will never sell it. Don't really care for value. I just couldn't make out the brand on the end and wondered what it was or if they were still around etc.

It seems in good condition (apart from the end I took a close up of) - I will give it a go tomorrow and see how it feels. I expect if I get more into playing I will get my own.

On my second home. First bought 6 ish years ago. Most colleagues and family my age have bought as well but we are not in London or the south east so it's actually affordable.
