In the cafe earlier, I overheard someone say, “I wouldn’t mind a slice of that pie.” Turned out they meant Banoffee. Shame… I was ready to take notes. Years ago, when I worked at Transco, they used to sell cheese muffins and minestrone soup in the canteen. A bloke called Rob used to sit opposite…

Let me take you on a journey to a bridge I went to earlier today… There’s a bit you have to go through, where you have to be Steven Seagal to get to the other side (I won’t talk about the time someone was flat up against the wall in shocking fashion). Once you’ve made…
