20 minutes into a New Orleans Uber ride: “Where you from?” England “Did you guys get Seinfeld ?” Yes. “Did you need subtitles?” No. “What language do you speak then?” English.. “And Paris, what do they speak there?” French. International relations, one ride at a time.

Everyone in Birmingham’s acting like they grew up on Black Sabbath bootlegs.

The Dew Drop Inn, New Orleans. A venue with soul-soaked floors and brass in its blood. The kind of place where you order a drink, hear a note and never walk out the same. #NewOrleans

New Orleans

So, you play guitar?” “Like a rock god” “You know Stairway to Heaven?” “Obviously.” Can you play that blistering solo? “Hell yeah!”

@Midge_UK Yep, that’s him. I saw him all the time, which is why it threw me when no one else seemed to remember him. For a second I thought I was having a Sixth Sense moment.

@davefused Yep, tall Black guy always playing with a basketball (I don't remember the Uke though, that certainly was a radical change in pastimes 😬)

Was talking to some Brummie mates about ‘Birmingham basketball guy’ who used to hang out on the New Street ramp in the late ‘90s/early 2000s. None of them knew what I was on about. Surely it wasn’t just me that saw him? I’m sure he later started carrying a ukulele too.

@kerryfused Just found a mask of Dragons’ Den Peter Jones in the wardrobe. No idea where it came from. No memory. No context. Just Peter. Watching me.

Billund looks like it’s been dreamt up by a Scandinavian think tank high on Lego dust and hygge. A utopia of clean lines, cheery architecture, and absolutely nothing to do after 6pm.

BACK IN BKK @DusitThaniBKK

Digbeth has been named one of the coolest places to live in the UK? Sure, if your definition of cool includes dodging a bloke urinating against a Peaky Blinders mural while a hen party kicks off over the last cheesy chips, then yes, it’s practically the new Berlin.

Go grab a copy while it’s this cheap👇

Good morning Bangkok 🌅

Boxing, like magazine publishing, is about rhythm, patience and knowing when to strike. Some days, you dance. Other days, you take a hit and keep moving forward. Either way, you show up, gloves on, ready for the next round.

It’s lovely but a bit disconcerting when you check into a hotel and find your photograph in the room. #Bangkok #HotelSurprises

Thrilled with the first issue ✈️
