"It really is quite something to tap on an icon on your phone and be plunged into another world. I suppose Twitter does that, in the same way as lifting a sewer cover in the street might."

"Moving? I enjoy being moved as much as the next man, so I downloaded it – into the Monument Valley I rode."
"The first thing I came across was a review saying: “It should take around an hour and a half to complete.” An hour and half? I was on day eight at this point."
“i don’t like offering advice unless it’s in a field in which I consider myself an expert, and there are precious few of them. I can give you comprehensive guidance on where to park, eat and drink near West Brom’s ground. I’m also good on choosing urinals for domestic use”
