“Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.”

what's your favourite opening line of a book? I always enjoyed "It was the day my grandmother exploded" from The Crow Road

Sharing some of my images in print, online - which doesn’t quite make sense, but go buy the book, it’s great! @HoxtonMiniPress irvb.substack.com/p/softenin…

I love series, themes, typologies - and @noahkalina's new Substack is chock full of some of his. I humbly add one of mine here - irvb.substack.com/p/typologi…

Never thought I'd say this but Elon is starting to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a reasonably decent social media company manager

Hang on, what? EVs aren’t exempt or zero rated? What does this actually mean @Telegraph ?

Interesting, I wonder how they discovered this electric bike had excess power? Lots of friends have tweaked their electric bikes to make them quicker but if police start doing roadside checks and then prosecuting, things could get interesting..
Roads Policing Unit@MerPolTraffic5 Nov 2022
The rider of this bike was stopped due to no lights. Then provided false details and tried to run away but was detained. Bike found to be of excess power and therefore classed as ‘motor vehicle’ - rider reported for licence and insurance offences and bike seized #MRPU #SYN1

Nice to get a traditional Welsh language “croeso” in the #Brighton Boots today. I’ve got that holiday feeling now.

Delighted to see that The Daily Mail has had the good sense to quote me regarding the government’s sensible idea to disperse sewage in coastal waters in a safe manner whilst beaches are empty. The Daily Mail continues to be an example of rigorous & well researched journalism.👍

I’d love a 90s Porsche, but not this one. collectingcars.com/for-sale/…

PORSCHE BIKE FS EVOLUTION

The rarest example of the advanced ‘Evolution’ model of Porsche’s late ‘90s mountain bike.
