Beware if your car insurance is with #Volkswagen you will be charged £10-£25 just to change your address. Plus the cost of waiting 23 minutes for your call to be answered. FCA needs to stop this.

After having his voice stolen by artificial intelligence, Equity member David Holt has spoken out to @symeonbrown on @Channel4News. As David says, a legal framework must be put in place to stop AI stealing artists' performances and likeness. #StopAIStealingtheShow

Bob Mortimer’s crime novel “The Satsuma Complex” is completely adorable. For the full comic, thrilling, poetically original punch listen to it on audiobook. @HeavyEntertaint @simonschusterUK

Fantastic few days @HeavyEntertaint recording @nigetassell’s new book “Field of Dreams”; an epic look at 100 years of the home of football. A few chapters I wasn’t crazy about (specifically around May 2011) but what can you do? @SimonAudio #audiobooks

At the impressive KCL Maughan Library, until 2002 the RecordsOffice. I can remember when the History and French libraries were in the musty, charming Chesham building and the main locus of debate the bustling Macadam bar. @SimonMedaney @DavidRoperHeavy @KCLalumni @VanishedLondon
