Over the past week I’ve had emails from Prospect, Marks and Spencer, Mango and LNER saying how sorry they are that someone hacked their systems and stole my information…and yet my graduate engineer daughter with excellent cybersecurity skills and experience can’t get a job.

My most shared pic ever popped up as a memory. What I want to know is, did it work for you?

you have a cupboard with upward of thirty mugs in it, only three of those can hold exactly the right amount of tea. When those are not available you will drink from the Lesser Mugs, but it will not be as good.

Nerdtastic moment…the brilliant author, linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne, one of the world’s leading experts on slang, just told me he used my book in court as the published source to back up his expert witness statement. And they won. I feel like a proper grown-up at last.
