Because Kingsbury is not a highly desirable area, most of Trobridge’s enchanting homes are not in the condition they deserve to be. After the war, Wembley council built a major housing estate, destroying most of Kingsbury’s historic buildings in the process.

"Among many fine photographs in the book is one of Highfort Court flats, in Kingsbury, north London, designed in 1936 by the architect Ernest Trobridge to demonstrate his Swedenborgian belief in symbolism (the building's chimneys are turrets, its entrance a drawbridge)." The Council Flats of Kingsbury?

This has lead to a problem that a lot of internet sites face, and I haven't found a good solution to the problem: how do I redirect users to a mobile site?

"If digital agencies excel at exploration, traditional agencies thrive on exploitation." No comment.

"Partners have little or no incentive even to investigate non-fee-producing options. Therefore, open source or lower cost, more out-of-the-box CMS solutions are rarely if ever offered as possible solutions. In fact, my experience found that more times than not, the Big 5 partner already knew exactly which CMS solution she was going to pitch before she walked through the client’s door. This was something that never ceased to amaze me, but the lesson here is to beware of software recommendations from any Big 5 firm." No shit.

I understand that there are several local variations on this delicacy of British cuisine, I'd like to hear about the individual variations that existed in your collective recollections.

Recorded as part of One & Other. This was Anthony Gormley’s piece where a member of the British public would have one hour on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square to do whatever they wanted. I decided to film a music video.

My hour was between 2 and 3pm on October the 2nd 2009, at the beginning of the Divali celebrations. The lip-synching isn’t bad considering I was listening to a different piece of music at the time.
