To talk about the specifications of a vehicle in years gone by was a fairly straightforward affair. You might talk about weight, horsepower and fuel economy, oh and how it looks. But these days things have become far more technical, as the vehicles that now drive us from A to B have more computing power […]
The problem with motoring reviews, particularly those of a written form, is that it is very hard to translate all of the aspects that come together to make a motor vehicle.

This indicates a couple of things to me. Firstly, that we are doing...
I’d name my autobiography: When in doubt, add more wine. To me success means: Balance. I juggle spending time with my two children, a full-time job, my writing, time with my partner and friends, and working towards my goals for the future. For me, balancing all of the above equals success. Best advice I’ve been...
I’d name my autobiography… A Little Rain for a Rainbow. To me success means… being happy and content in life. Being a success without happiness is meaningless.

Head of strategy at True advertising I’d name my autobiography… Nevertheless, yet she persisted. To me success means… Not compromising my values.

“Life is not measured by time. It is measured by moments.” ― Armin Houman I didn’t intend to start out a smartphone review with a bit of woo woo. But Amin Houman’s summary of the measurement of life is a very apt context with which to look at the new Huawei P30 Pro. The P30 […]
Listen to the podcast here Download To quote a previous audience member, because we get feedback after each of these things, “More men should be involved in the panels (or a man).
