Data Protection & AI Governance professional, looking for my next opportunity. Enjoys travels, gym 🏋️‍♂️ workouts & those who like a laugh🤤
On returning to London 🇬🇧 on Monday evening, when I saw this building in the City of London lit up as is, thought 'Auric Goldfinger' (from '007' movie 🎬 of 1964) had moved in for the festive season at first -ha!🤣 - but in reality not. But looks lovely & of course golden😇

Enjoying watching with my friend Rich from a pub in Manchester 🇬🇧 the Rugby Union International between England vs New Zealand 🇳🇿 - game on 🏉!

& a quick update from Father Christmas🎄 as appears outside Central Library in Manchester today - & after literally pulling themselves together from their somewhat 'broken' appearance yesterday, & now 'stepping up' to (or 'sitting down' more accurately on) the plate ⚾️ -ha!🤣

In Manchester 🇬🇧 - where following a particularly hard working and hard partying 2024 Christmas 🎄 season, Father Christmas now literally needs to 'get his head' together for Christmas 🎄 this year -ha!🤣

I'm on 'Transport for Wales' train 🚆 service to Manchester 🇬🇧 - and for future use, good 4 me to learn in Welsh (as below) to ask for a cup of tea 🍵

& my current 'coffee' view...

Enjoying contributions & discussions today on webinar of 'The EU AI Act: Turning Compliance into Competitive Advantage' - including both Patrick Sullivan (A-LIGN) & Sasa Markota ('Synthesia') agreeing that the EU AI Act is "common sense", with Sasa adding that was (for him) for most of the Act.

Many thanks Nachi😊 - & hope your Sunday has been good?🙂 - & I've just been at the gym 🏋️‍♀️ - which is just on the edge of Chinatown in Manchester (where I am for the weekend).

Out in central Mancheater 🇬🇧 with my friend Rich - to enjoy watching on TV the Second Test Match in Rugby League 🏉 between England and Australia 🇦🇺

Happy Sunday dear Nachi😊 - & as you like historical buildings, here's a photo of Westminster Cathedral (separate and distinct to Westminster Abbey) in London 🇬🇧 that I took last Sunday evening.

As I can see you're still online @nachi0707.bsky.social greetings this Saturday evening from Paternoster Square in London, in the shadow of the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral.

@nachi0707.bsky.social - apologies that you'll need to turn round the photo here below, but this is my favorite type of fish 🐟 - fried & served with chips 🍟 & 'mushy' peas 🫛 - plus for me, a pint of Guinness beer 🍺 accompanies it well in an evening 🍽

Thank you Rain for your kind words here🙂 - & my weekend's been good, thanks👍back in Manchester 🇬🇧 as my home town - & catching up with family members and friends over tea 🍵 sat outside (in mild weather for October) the bar in the photo here 🌞
October 11, 2025 at 11:20 PM
Many thanks for your kind words here, Nachi🙂 - & although the temperatures🌡have dropped in the UK 🇬🇧 in the last few weeks, we're getting some lovely Autumn days where the sun 🌞 is still shining & the sky is blue, as today near St Paul's Cathedral ⛪️
October 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Great to be back again at The 'Institute for Government' in lovely Carlton Gardens in London 🇬🇧 - for a panel discussion on 'Local government reorganisation and public service delivery: What are the options and challenges?' @instituteforgovernment.org.uk

I'm unaware of the reasoning behind and/or any significance of this varied collection of animal figures appearing this September evening in Paternoster Square, near St Paul's Cathedral in London 🇬🇧 - but they bring a smile to people's faces & are good for photos 📸 - so good enough reasons there👍🙂
September 22, 2025 at 5:08 PM
& on a similar cultural theme, I just arrived at my gym in the Chinatown area of Manchester 🇬🇧, as pictured 📸
September 20, 2025 at 1:34 PM
& similarly Holger, the gorgeous bright blue sky from Valletta (capital of Malta 🇲🇹 in the Mediterranean) when I was there 3 weeks ago 🌞

& a photo now from London 🇬🇧 taken in Paternoster Square, where I'm sat outside enjoying a coffee ☕️- & am near the pictured St Paul's Cathedral - the Square was used by the movie 🎬 crew when filming 🎥 parts of 'Mission Impossible: Fallout' in 2018, where Tom Cruise gets chased through Cathedral ⛪️

Not a profession I was 'bourne' (Jason Bourne) into, but sometimes in most unlikely places (eg McDonalds), when ordering a tea (instead of a vodka martini) one's 'true identity' (as in code number at ticket top) is revealed -ha!🤣 Must have been those (Burger) 'SPECTRE' people who caught up with me🙂

Great choice 👍 & I love hamburgers 🍔 too - plus (as I had with colleagues in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 on Wednesday night this week) I also love pork chops with potatoes 🥔 & a lovely sauce in a Danish restaurant there, as accompanied by a fine Danish beer 🍺
September 5, 2025 at 5:38 PM
Though I very much enjoyed being in beautiful Copenhagen 🇩🇰 earlier in the week for the excellent 2 day 'Director of AI Governance' certification course, which I passed - am also happy to be back in London 🇬🇧 & sit outside on a Friday evening with a coffee ☕️ & enjoy this view of St Paul's Cathedral ⛪️
