It's brilliant when lots of work finally begins to come together. My new book, Money: A Story of Humanity will be out on September 12.

@davidmcw @dalkeybookfest I knew you could rely on the Irish to sample German history in style... It's always a pleasure to speak with you, David. Looking forward to Dalkey and very happy to return to the podcast.

I was once at Dublin airport and noticed someone struggling with the screen on the self-tagging machine at check-in. I won't name him, but he held a Nobel Prize in Economics. BA rolled back on this daft idea at LHR. At some point, when you arrive at an airport, you want a human being to say "Right, you're good to go."
Tom Goodwin@tomfgoodwin

Whoever decided self check-in and bag tagging for biz class was a good idea should be shot. Employing huge swathes of staff to train customers how to do their jobs is inexcusable in the hospitality industry. Management consultant thinking is poison

@IrishTimes .@davidmcw ignores the endless number of hotels being built in some cities especially Dublin. Our cities now seem to only exist for tourists, residents are being pushed out. The plan to regenerate Dublin will make no difference.

@davidmcw It is! 😃 We pronounce it exactly as it is written - dobAr dan. The principles is ‘Write as you speak, read as it is written’. The ‘dobEr’ is used in the North Slavic countries like Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.

@davidmcw Great interview. Just a small correction: in Croatian, it’s ‘dobar dan’
