The problem with using my 3D scanner is that my office smells like dry shampoo for a week afterwards.

Time for my periodic reminder that it is Dough day! And this week, we are looking at watches - a product I know that a lot of you are obsessed with.

Extra fun work day today. Down in London spending a little time in the studio talking about the #future of food with some proper stars (details when it goes out). Then dinner and drinks with a good mate.

Good news from the British Election Study: there's no sign of the reported uptick in sexism among young British men Bad news: what's going on with middle aged men?

You may have seen the picture of me outside Scottish Gas Murrayfield last week. Well this is why! Scottish Gas and Scottish Rugby asked me to imagine what the stadium might be like in another hundred years, on its hundredth anniversary. news.stv.tv/sport/from-w...

I've started writing a new series of articles for @the-independent.com kindly sponsored by @trading212.bsky.social. You can check out the first one here on a trend I'm a bit obsessed with: reintermediation. After years of cutting out the middle men and women, we've decided we need experts again.

What's not to love about bikes? I'm biased, having cycled 8500km on a tandem in 2024... but I've not been without my own bike since I was 13.

It's Dough day again! And this week we're talking about bicycles. Where did they come from? Where are they made? Is it a thriving or struggling business? And, what's the future of the bike? Check it out now on BBC Sounds or listen this lunchtime on BBC Radio 4. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

New blog post out this morning from my hotel room in sunny Berkshire. Is your business a train or a truck? Yes, I love my analogies but I think this one is a doozy. tomcheesewright.com/blog/is-your...

On my way to Windsor via...beautiful... Slough for a speaking gig tomorrow (Monday) morning, then straight off to Heathrow for another gig in Brussels the following morning. Then home for a day and off to Edinburgh for some filming. Busy and nicely diverse week with three very different clients.

Most irritating song to have stuck in your head? Currently I have Stefan Dennis's "Don't it make you feel good" wedged in there. And while I usually have a weird facility to store crap pop lyrics, that's the only line I know.

Eldest kid uses ChatGPT to create revision flashcards for GCSEs as naturally as I used to use Aldus PageMaker for school projects. Her PC just crashes a lot less.

Delighted to see so many people reading/sharing this as it took ages to do. (If you enjoyed it, please share it with a friend!)

The new season of Dough on @bbcradio4.bsky.social started last week and I didn't even post about it. Though if you're an R4 listener, you probably couldn't miss those trails!

Early start for my first over-(very small)-seas gig of the year. Bound for Cork to do some work for a (very large) beverage brand. But on the way, a second breakfast/brunch with friends over there.

🥳 A growth surprise this morning for the UK economy - GDP increased by 0.4% in December, best month since March. That means the economy grew 0.1% over Q4 as a whole (the BoE said last week it would be a 0.1% quarterly drop). Decent month for services and manufacturing, at odds with biz surveys

Woke up from the most bizarre F1 related dream. Still vivid a couple of hours later. First race of the season and for some reason it's on a beach. We're all sat waiting for the tide to go out as waves wash into the pitlane.

Law of gigs no. 37: if you have the perfect spot, as the first song starts, a 6'4" man with massive hair will come and stand right in front of you.

This chart from my article this week is pretty scary. 12-hour waits in emergency departments were non-existent in the 2010s in England. Now they're the new normal and are leading to thousands of extra deaths a year: www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Yes, I am a remainer. As in, I remain absolutely furious about the total disaster inflicted on our country by Brexiteers.

There's a poll going round suggesting half of Gen Z would support a dictatorship in the UK. Slightly different question and sample... but this is definitely not what the British Election Study finds
