30hertz

This is very much not the first, shall we say, slightly unfavourable review of Lift that I've seen, and between you you've saved a couple of hours of my life that I would not have other wise have got back. So, thanks.

I'd love to see Idris as Bond, I think he would be absolutely awesome in the role, but he's just too old now I think.

If you fancy watching something that'll make you cross, I recommend Dark Waters and Downfall: The Case Against Boeing. Both on Netflix, and both guaranteed to leave you astonished that they could possibly be true stories. Which they are.

Yes, that was excellent.

I can heartily recommend The Trial of the Chicago 7. Really superb film.

I play bass guitar... 30Hz is the fundamental frequency of the low B on a 5-string bass.

God there are some super shots here. Here's another of Tilly.

Oh yes, the 7-speed DSG box is a joy. I love being able to flick in and out of Sport when needed. Sport was meaningless with the TDi engine, but with the TSi it's a revelation. (You'll have to excuse my excitement, this is my first petrol engine in nearly 20 years )

I've had this beastie for about a month now -- my second Octavia, the previous one was a 2.0 TDi 150 SE estate. This one's a 2.0 TSi 190 SE-L and ohhh my word, I am smitten. Totally head over heels. Lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely car.

I don't think Donald Trump is one of the most dangerous men on the planet. I think he is THE most dangerous man on the planet. So much power, so few scruples.

My dad's cap badge from WW2. A prized possession, I keep it polished like a mirror.

No, unfortunately it was only a quick day visit from a cruise. I'd love to see more of Morocco though.

Spice mountains at Souk Al Ahad, Agadir, Morocco.
