I’m reminded of the US with their CD longboxes in the mid-1980s - designed to make CDs fit the same shelves as vinyl. Or did I just imagine that?

I went from a big-name provider to budget - and back again, because they don’t all provide visual voicemail which is a deal-breaker. But I came back to my original provider at 20% of the previous tariff price.

Related: church bell ringing. (Specifically, change ringing.)

Since this will soon be much less relevant here, you need to see the Swiss Guards' rain wear before it's too late

Alongside that, a clear method for artists to manage their own content. The most plays I got on Spotify last month were for a track that isn't even mine, while a whole bunch of tracks I fed out via a podcast haven't been attributed to me at all. Or they kind-of have, but to the wrong Nick Rothwell.

Am rather enjoying Shetland (2014-): gritty police procedural, intense brooding landscapes and a guest appearance by the Bibby Stockholm.
