    South College Street Consultation

    The Aberdeen City Council has a consultation open until the 19th January 2021 on proposed changes to South College Street.

    Absolutely enormous pants

    Do you remember that scene in Bridget Jones’s Diary where Renée Zelleweger and Hugh Grant hook up and Grant discovers the “absolutely enormous pants”?

    Sustainability

    I’ve been thinking a lot about sustainability recently both through my work at Award Force and also on a more personal level. It has become fashionable for corporations to talk about sustainability and I think, when done sincerely, it represents the best of humanity.
