I'm afraid that my social responsibility index plummeted several points this evening. Do you remember this scene from Die Hard With a Vengeance? Well, here at the moment, it's true. And no, I didn't steal anything. I did turn back onto to the deserted main road from my ex-wife's house after...

Not for the first time, I'm not too upset we 'encouraged' Puritans to go and have a lovely life in the New World. When the UK, issued the lockdown orders on Tuesday, off licenses were omitted by accident. This was sorted promptly. This country hasn't faced a challenge sober since the...

I've been working from home for nearly a decade now. I'm at the point where returning to an office is probably beyond me. @Tyr has already dealt with the important stuff. For me the key to acclimatisation is getting used to the loss of your old distractions and the arrival of a whole heap of...
