Sorry for the ranting but this reminds me:

1) The nice chaps at Guinness sent me a little booklet called 'Lion Spotting in New Zealand'. It's rather nicely produced, so well done them.
2) It was the match against Taranaki this morning.
3) My local pub was showing it, and serving breakfast this morning.
4) But I'm at work today because my contract keeps getting extended.
5) If that weren't the case, I could have had a couple of Guinnesses with breakfast then spent the rest of the day laying in the garden.
6) And we won.
7) So, John, could you use any of your drinks industry clout to stop the fuckers at Diageo from rubbing it in by sending me these nicely-produced reminders through the post?

I didn’t say -how much- under 25 minutes…

Good grief! What did you use the extra 10 minutes for?

All the best work is done in less than 25 minutes. Tis an empirical fact.

When my friend was writing for ft.com earlier this year, she usually had about 3 hours to do an article that length. (however, she actually had to find experts to ask for opinion quotes, whereas I have the luxury of nominally being one and therefore being able to inject opinion myself…)

How long did the FT take to write their piece on the same topic? :-)
