Helping young colleagues who have just moved here. In my first week in the UK a colleague patiently explained to me that if there is a stairway nearby the door will open in the direction of the stairway. Knowledge that is so obvious to natives they think it does not need to be said.

Some people think that their exercise regime and diet should be in harmony with one another. I prefer to think of my body as a battlefield in which the Good Guy Wrestler (exercise) and Bad Guy Wrestler (diet) struggle endlessly for dominance, egged on by an unctuous loudmouth announcer.

This is a good moment to start asking public questions about what purpose the BBC was founded for, what purpose do we want it to serve now, and is its current structure suited to that purpose? Regardless of any specific details of any recent kerfuffles.

I have followed "Večernje novosti" for many years, it has always been fascinating as "the paper that openly says what the regime secretly thinks." But this is outrageous, claiming that burek can be made with apples.

Preparing the lecture on nationalism and getting ready to tell the students again: if someone says that all of the evidence for their claims about a social phenomenon are from the time before there was recorded history, treat them like they have no evidence.

We like Radio 4, except in the morning, and Radio 6, especially in the evening. Other bits are just kind of Faragorama.
I continue to think that the BBC is one of Britain’s most important institutions, and it has been an honour to occasionaly contribute to their work in recent years. It has set international standards of journalism.
The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.
