Here’s a Mani story that he told when I interviewed him. He’d got up on a morning and there was no milk or bread in the house, so he went to the machine to see if he had any money. He thought he had about eight quid. Two million sat in his current account - his share of Heaton Park, the first time.

Google doesn't listen to everything you do.
In my new novel I mention a bus terminal in Ohio. I haven't published it. It's just in a Word document on my PC.
Now Google is asking me to review the bus terminal, because it thinks I visited it.

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”
