Welcome to Funland
“We have a fantastic opportunity right now to use the inevitable move towards remote-first and flexible working to rebuild and regenerate some of our towns.Places like Southport, for one example, where there are already great transport links, beautiful parks, lakes and community spaces and amazing architecture could be rediscovered and reinvented to work for modern […]
I’m on a mission
So my plans for world domination are coming on apace. AI has been sent from the gods to make life liveable for those of us with non-standard brains.

More specifically, MY blog. I pretty much […]
Song of the Day: Lexsoul Dancemachine ‘Beef Grinder’
Source: Spotify’s ‘experiment weekly’ or whatever it’s called. Comment: I don’t get on with Spotify at all, I just don’t find it even remotely intuitive. Gavin, however, loves it. This came on while we were driving to Manchester for a friend’s 40th birthday party last weekend and it is one of the best tracks I’ve […]
