The Sunday Summary

🙌🏻🛞🚖 FREE ENSO Tyres for LIFE!

This segment is a sponsored competition promotion

This week I filmed a quick short about the handful of things that are genuinely worth spending money on when you’re working long hours in the cab. Things like coffee that doesn’t taste like petrol, sunglasses that don’t fall apart, and tyres that don’t send you skating across manhole covers. (TXE drivers, you know!)

ENSO, the TXE specific tyres I’ve been using for the past 2 and a half years, are giving away a full set of taxi tyres every year, for life to one lucky licencedTXE driver.
Yep, for life. Even if you’re currently renting, ENSO will supply your proprietor with the tyres, so you still get the benefit. And if you go on to own your own TXE, the prize follows you throughout your career.
That’s a prize worth over £12,500.

I’ve had nothing but great results with these tyres; quieter, more consistent wear, and I regularly get 40,000+ miles from a set. Quietly the best upgrade I’ve made.

👉 Entries Close Sunday 31st August

P.S. If you win, can I have a flat white and a pair of Ray-Bans?

🫁 An essential office gadget!

Temptop CO2 Indoor Monitor

Bought myself a CO₂ monitor this week for working from home, and wow. Turns out the air in my flat gets really stuffy, really fast. The numbers climb way quicker than you’d think just from sitting still and breathing. I awoke to 1700 ppm CO₂, anything above 1000ppm can induce drowsiness and noticeably poor air. 2000ppm + “Headaches, sleepiness and stagnant, stale, stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present.”
Apparently “cracking a window” is less a nice idea and more an actual health intervention!

📖 A book I’m loving

Incognito: The Secret Lives of The Brain - David Eagleman

Also the author of the brilliant Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives. This book is all about the hidden parts of the brain that steer our decisions without us even realising. It’s proper thought-provoking stuff. Makes you wonder how any of us manage to drive in central London when most of our brain’s on autopilot!

📺 What I’ve been watching

Comparing 10 Videogame Londons - Foolish Pedro [YouTube]

What made this epic it was the rating system, instead of graphics or gameplay, each game was judged on how well you could interact with real London features. Could you go inside Big Ben? Were the taxis accurate? Could you get on the river?
A lot of detail has gone into this, very factually correct in terms of buses on The Mall and London taxis!

📺 On YouTube this week

This week I’ve been working on a few shorts, in this one I met up with some of the 8 runners who will be joining my for green shelter run on 24th September! Would love to see you at the start/finish, just email if you wish to know more!

Have a great week!
