With the Winter Olympics in full swing, it's a good time to re-post this image of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in 1979 before a grant from Nottingham City Council enabled them to give up their day jobs and train fulltime. They won the figure skating gold at Sarajevo in 1984.

Interesting commentary on the snowboard slalom coverage here: "He's smashing at it like a toddler at a piano" 🏂 #MilanoCortina2026

"They named a sausage after him" it's only Day 1 of #MilanoCortina2026 and this might be my favourite punditry of the Olympics ⛷️

So pleased to see the shimmery lights on the Olympic ring arches the athletes pass under in the Parade Of Nations because otherwise they might look like they're walking through the middle of giant rolls of Sellotape #MilanoCortina2026

Magnificent. Just magnificent.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Another email this morning from London Transport Museum advertising their latest lot of decommissioned station signs for sale. I wonder who actually buys them and what they do with them.
