Excellent from @owenslot in @thetimes today. This is why our country will always be Great "First through security were 4 mates from Chorley dressed as Mexican bandits, followed by Batman & Robin, Julius Caesar on crutches, five traffic cones, a pair of half-peeled bananas..."

Classic quote in @TheTimes obituaries today, Trevor Sorbie the hairdresser... “My scissors and comb would be laid on my chest, and there would be a large vodka and tonic standing on the side,” he said. “Those are my tools, and all three have helped me through many a crisis.”

But having read his obituary in @thetimes today, I love the final sentence : Jones insisted he had never made music for money or fame. “Not even Thriller. God walks out of the room when you start thinking about money.” thetimes.com/uk/obituaries/…

Very sad to hear Quincy Jones has died today. I can't think of anyone in the last century who has had a bigger influence on music. My favourite quote of his: "do something that gives you goosebumps, man, and hope that a lot of other people feel as passionate as you do about it"

Love everything about this post, both the logistics and also that you can track them!

FlightAware has a page up tracking the UPS planes loaded with iPhones heading to the US for Friday’s launch. Assuming roughly 300,000 iPhones fit a 747-8F, just one group planes near Alaska was hauling $2,330,200,000 ($2.3 billion) worth of iPhones this morning.

Another gem in @thetimes Obituaries today. Ken Palmer (ex cricketer and umpire)... "Palmer proceeded to run through the Nottinghamshire batting, finishing with 9 for 57, a wicket for every pint of the black stuff imbibed the previous evening"

I love @thetimes obituaries, today's genius quote is from Herbert Hoelter (prison consultant), who's metaphor for choosing between a probation sentence or a prison sentence - We used to call it the aspirin or a lobotomy. We thought there was a lot of room for alternatives,”

Lovely interview with Benedict Cumberbatch in the @thetimes today, taking about making his parents proud. But the quote from his dad is the winner

I really enjoy @benedictevans weekly newsletter, even if it means having to clear my desk/mind to be able to take it all in. Every week there’s at least 2 or 3 articles that make me go ‘hmm’, and need to dig in further. This weeks is a great example : ben-evans.com/newsletter
