So this is what will start our war with China... if no one was in the room when it happened I'm chalking it up to a freak accident or ghosts.

If you havent heard about this recently, former employee Kamran Khan blew the whistle on the Shoreditch house location allegedly changing labels on out of date food and serving it to customers. According to him he raised the issue in July (while on probation), was told it was indeed happening then got sacked 2 months later in September.

Soho house said this was unrelated to his complaints, the food incident was isolated and not company policy (sure).

Hackney Council is looking into food safety and hygiene at this location.

If one location was doing this I would definitely look into others.

Some are in active development, some in early planning stages while some are nore theoretical at present with no funding yet.

The projects at hand:

Crossrail 2 (proposal in place, on hold)

West London Orbital (plan phase)

DLR extension to Thamesmead (plan phase)

Bakerloo line extension to New Cross (plan phase)

Picadilly line train upgrade (active)

HS2 (active)

Great Northern train devolution (proposal for 2027 handover).

*corrected mistake on Bakerloo line extension.

Great initiative as usual Lord Khan, city wide rules sound like a good start 👏

Always thought it was stupid for different boroughs to have different rules/take different action.

Disappointing to some but I think its fair, busy exhibit and too many people to stay and take 30 photos each.

I was genuinely pleasantly surprised to see her, a darker black girl too, that make a whopping 3 black main cast members in 15 years (with Akin if you remember him, throwback there).

But she's Paris... assistant, not a friend? I just found it a bit odd that she couldn't be introduced just as a friend, and only got all of 10 seconds before leaving.

MIC has been a bit of dinosaur in the diversity stakes ngl, their representation is tan girls and Turkish people I guess. This just isnt what London looks like, I get its supposed to be a look into lives of the wealthy and privileged but you're really telling me they've managed to find 3 black people, 0 wealthy south Asians, 0 wealthy east Asians in 15 years lol.

Has anyone seen Crazy rich Asians, there are some pretty loaded old money Chinese people, some British Chinese folks too I'm sure. Just saying, if MIC wanted, they would.

Nairobi will be the first ever African host of the athletics games. Nairobi beat our other candidates cities including Rome and Munich.

The decision has been given a positive reception by World athletics president Seb Coe, who praised "the quality, commitment and ambition of all four outstanding bids".

Right off the bat this is not a shot at women or men, this applies to both genders on varying levels, but yes I acknowledge the discourse online tends to highlight mainly women doing this.

What is 'this'? Trying to date above your 'level', arguably a big problem with modern dating is people going after people that don't want or like them back, definitely not enough to settle down. An average looking guy or girl is trying to get an attractive partner which yknow, power to you, but said person probably won't want to commit and is probably attractive enough to play around as they desire.

No one wants 'average' even if they are average, after years of being told by social media that they're special and a 10/10. Sorry to break it to you, but you're not, everyone isnt gorgeous or amazing, you have been lied to.

We need to live in the real world, not in delusion - thats if you actually want success in dating. Unless you just really vibe and personality match you most likely have a limit on how attractive a partner you can get and thats fine. You are most likely average (looking) most people are, we are not models or actors, some of us are fat, we have imperfections, skin discoloration, acne and that is also okay, its called being human.

I think the problem with influencer/dating coach advice is that it has inflated people's egos and makes them think they're perfect and deserve perfection, when they themselves may need work. And if you call any of this out you get the endless standards debate, listen if you're attractive and can pull attractive people then fair enough. But not everyone can and we need to be honest with each other, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
