I love that Zelensky has received such a huge welcome from us here in the UK as he arrived at Downing Street, and that he will meet King Charles tomorrow - that’s a definite bop on the nose/two fingers up in the air to Trump 😁

It's good to see a real president back in the Oval Office, just a shame he has to go back to Ukraine

Is it just me or has Facebook become nothing but a timeline of sponsored posts and suggested accounts? Tedious doesn’t even cut it…

I’m positive I’ve said this before but it’s worth saying again… Yellowstone is the finest TV series I’ve ever watched. And I’ve watched a LOT of TV in my 54 years on this earth! Until Yellowstone came along the best imho was The West Wing - and that was a LONG time ago.

re:Invent 2024! I got some t-shirts made up to bring a little humour to the proceedings and as always I’ll be kitted out with my shoes and watch strap in AWS colours. If the announcements of yesterday are anything to go by, this week is going to be pretty incredible. Let’s go!!! #aws #awsreinvent
