New blog post: When a WWE Superstar Says 'Sorry': It's Not What You Think (Probably)
Ever wonder what a British 'sorry' truly means? It's a social minefield, much like a WWE apology, where intention is everything and often completely misrepresented.

The Most British Office in London
Someone chose to put two Union Jack armchairs and an exercise ball in their office window for all of London to see. I spotted this walking past an office block and the arrangement stopped me mid-stride. The chairs are proper wingbacks, upholstered in full flag regalia, flanking a slightly deflated-looking exercise ball that's doing its best to fit in. Someone in that office has a sense of humour, and I'm grateful they put it by the window.https://inphotos.org/2026/04/08/the-most-british-office-in-london/

MADEIN -- Nagomi
I know she was only three when she left London, but I like to imagine Nagomi coming back to her place at the end of a hard day, making herself a nice cup of tea, listening to the BBC, and eating a bag of Walker's cheese and onion crisps.
