Incredible that we'll soon have data servers in space, yet nobody can apparently put the app to buy railway station car parking in the same app where you can check train status and buy train tickets

Every time Spotify email me a Get Tickets link to a gig that's been sold out for months I think their technology is failing, surely the opposite of their intention and an easily fixable algorithm

This is Robbie now.

In this month's edition of 'The Modern Mann', he tells me about his agonising rescue, his complex surgeries and his long road to recovery.

He explains why his experienceΒ left him shaken but not angry, and how he got himself through the hardest moments πŸ‘‡

This is the rescue effort.

Locals clubbed together, improvising tools from what came to hand. The prognosis was notΒ good.

This is the guesthouse he had been staying in, before and after an earthquake of 6.9 magnitude destroyed it.

The quake, in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains in September 2023, caused around 3,000 fatalities.

Robbie was in bed inside the hotel.

This is Robbie Greatrex.

He spent six hours trapped in the rubble after a devastating earthquake.

Unable to feel his legs, unsure he would emerge alive. 🧡

This is Alok; a high-flying CFO, who fraternised with the world’s richest men.

Anon letters sent to his boss, Masayoshi Son, accused him of corruption.

Suddenly, shadowy β€œshareholders” emerged from nowhere, and a smear campaign quietly derailed his career...

At this time of year, it's natural to remember the profound moments over the past twelve months that have really caused you to pause and reflect.

Like this insane salad I was served in the Isle of Wight. Kiwi with baked beans!
