I have a couple of people-related schticks this week. The first regards a keen and talented young student who is seeking a work placement. He asked at a major car audio brand’s UK operation but they don’t do such things. He’s won some swag in the TA sc...

OK, the Blaupunkt headphones are front of the queue. I wanted to get them done last week but the NextBase Click9 Duo Lite seatback DVD system turned to be an absolute beast. Neat, clean, clever and powerful, with screen resolution as good as the best i...

It’s the New Year and my Primitive Animist side can feel the day length on the increase rather than the decrease. It’s the same thing that makes my thumbs itch when I see fish swimming lazily under a bridge, or basking in a lake I visit for the Anglers...
