Quite interesting - nothing earth-shattering, but some good ideas.

I got a free pint for tweeting those photos of my beer, once they worked out it was me

Now if you'd read it properly, you'd have seen that I was already on my way home...

It's been really nice all the way home, and all the way back, and then all the way home again until Newport Pagnell. In the space of about two minutes it's changed to looking like Mordor on a bad day

Checking my phone, I found a voicemail message from the hotel telling me I'd left them in my room.

Now about halfway through my second drive back from London of the day, having a coffee and a snack at Newport Pagnell services in a torrential downpour

He was busy in the crack house - the one next door to the brothel. Can't get the staff these days…
