Delta Air Lines’ stock drops as less travel around the election will hurt sales growth
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:58:00 GMT
Delta Air Lines’ stock was headed for another post-earnings selloff on Thursday, after the air carrier missed third-quarter profit expectations and gave a downbeat revenue growth outlook, as travel is expected to decline around the election.

I’m happy to be called love, bab or even pet. But I’d travel miles to be someone’s duck | Adrian Chiles
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:00:16 GMT
When it comes to terms of endearment, you can’t beat the East Midlands. Even buying a coffee is a delight
At 8am on Sunday I was desperately short of fuel while heading north from Birmingham. I should have stopped at Tamworth, but I wanted to make my stop in the East, not West, Midlands. So I pressed on. It was Donington Park Services or bust. I made it. Excellent. Donington Park was perfect because it’s roughly at the point where Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire meet. Peak East Midlands. This would do nicely.
There was a lot of toastie-based faff at Costa, so I went to Greggs instead, where, by the way, the coffee was really very good. But I wasn’t there for the coffee – I was there for the woman who served it to me. “Have a good day,” I said. “You too, duck,” she smiled.

What I Ate in One Year (and Related Thoughts) by Stanley Tucci review – starry friends and tasty morsels
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 08:00:32 GMT
Slop with Ralph Fiennes and champagne with Jilly Cooper – a gastronomical actor’s escapades
Stanley Tucci’s Instagram videos about making cocktails became deservedly famous during lockdown: here was a man of saturnine charisma dressing well and concocting delicious drinks while the rest of us were lounging around despairingly in stained joggers. He published a bestselling foodist memoir, Taste, in 2021, and presented a culinary travelogue, Searching for Italy, on BBC Two. All this has made him so much better known than he used to be that this follow-up volume can take the form merely of an abbreviated diary of one year in the itinerant lifestyle of a global celebrity: Being Stanley Tucci.
Tucci is often going to bad restaurants. In Rome, he visits a place recommended by the hotel’s front desk. “I would not recommend it,” he writes tartly, but what he ate and why it was bad shall remain a mystery. At other places we learn only that “the food was superb” or that it was “classically delicious Roman fare”; a quick tropical holiday, meanwhile, was “a good time with good weather, good food, and good friends”. This is the kind of gruff thumbs up that worked for Hemingway in his Parisian novels but may be deemed less nutritious in a book specifically about victuals.

Voulez-vous parler avec moi? My midlife French exchange in Paris
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 06:00:35 GMT
Language exchange holidays are wasted on the young. I had a great time with my host – sans youthful embarrassment about my accent – and more adults are doing the same
On the terrace of a brasserie on Rue Cler, a chic Parisian market street, I’m chatting over a tongue-lubricating glass of Sancerre with Sébastien de Lavalette, 33, a French travel company head and my language exchange partner.
Sébastien compliments my French accent, or at least I think he does: “You don’t have that mouth-full-of-bread accent that many British people have”, as I order in my middle-of-the-road restaurant French. Sébastien, who was raised in Paris but whose family hails from Périgord, reminisces about his teenage foreign language exchanges in Spain.

Use your local museums or lose them | Letters
Wed, 09 Oct 2024 17:01:34 GMT
Colin Montgomery offers firsthand insight into the demise of some of the institutions he used to work at in Edinburgh, and David Kennedy points out that regional museums are being forced to shut while London continues to rake in funding
I read John Harris’s article on the demise of local museums – notably The People’s Story Museum in Edinburgh – with a smile (British history is being destroyed before our eyes – and it has nothing to do with culture wars over statues, 6 October). The smile was of fond recollection from someone who worked as an Edinburgh council museum attendant around 1996-97, including many hours at The People’s Story. Sadly, in all my time there, I rarely saw a great upswell of interest from the very working class of the city in the exhibits that celebrate their own history.
It wasn’t like that at every museum or venue I worked at over that year. The Museum of Childhood further up the Royal Mile? Mobbed (old toys tend to be a big draw). Ditto the City Art Centre on Market Street – high-end travelling exhibitions always ensured a good turnout. But The People’s Story’s local intake was patchy at best. Same for Huntly House Museum (as was) across the road. The nadir was my time at the Queensferry Museum in South Queensferry – also to be closed – celebrating the history of the town and the Forth Bridge outside the window. Attendance figures barely made double figures some days.

Biden to visit Angola as global powers vie for African influence

US and EU are supporting infrastructure projects in Angola, which has historically been closer to Russia and China
When Joe Biden travels to Angola on Sunday, it will be the first trip to an African country of his presidency and the first to the continent by a sitting US president since Barack Obama visited Kenya and Ethiopia in 2015.
It is a marker of how Africa’s 54 countries are increasingly courted by global powers, drawn to the continent by geopolitical shifts and an abundance of minerals needed for electric cars and other battery-powered technologies.

‘I’d buy a tube carriage on every Victoria line train’: my first week as a EuroMillions winner
Mon, 30 Sep 2024 08:28:25 GMT
What would you do if you won the Euromillions jackpot? Would you keep it quiet? We all say we would, including writer Ben Henry – but apparently that wouldn’t stop him from building a full-scale replica of the Gladiators assault course
I’ve often wondered what I would do if I won the EuroMillions jackpot. In those moments of procrastination throughout the day – and believe me, there are many – it’s a daydream I regularly fall into. What would I give to friends and family? Which dream holiday would I go on first? How much money would I realistically have to win in order to buy a home in London that’s not in zone 84 with a bed directly above the cooker? All of which is to say, I think I’m something of an expert on the subject matter. I’m not sure if I’d actually tell people I’d won the jackpot – but there would be signs. What would I spend my money on in my first week as a EuroMillions winner? I’m so glad you asked.
I think my main goal is to live one of those soft and gentle lives you see blasted all over TikTok, so my first port of call is day-to-day travel and I’m going big: I want to buy a tube carriage on every Victoria line train. I like to think I’d remain modest, down to earth and humble if I won a life-changing chunk of money, so you wouldn’t catch me paying for chauffeur-driven cars or anything like that. I’ll happily take the tube. I just don’t want to be shoved under a stranger’s armpit at 9:30am on a Monday morning while basking in the aroma of someone’s Saturday night rosé breath that they’ve tried to conceal with a double espresso, all while stewing in a climate identical to the seventh circle of hell. A personal tube carriage should do the trick. I’m thinking a couple of sofas, some decorative cushions, the fancy incense from Diptyque. I might even buy some LED screens to cover the windows and make it look like I’m frolicking through the Swiss countryside instead of hurtling towards the darkest depths of central London. Phase one of living a gentle life, complete!

The best men’s walking boots for every type of hiking adventure
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:01:17 GMT
Whether you’re heading to the hills on a multi-day trek or simply taking the dog for a countryside stroll, these are the best boots for the job – tried and tested by our writer
There are two types of people on any UK hiking trail: those wearing walking boots, and those who have yet to experience the unmistakable sensation of cowpat seeping through their trainers. I belong in the first camp and firmly believe that the great outdoors is best enjoyed in appropriate footwear.
A solid pair of walking boots will not only protect your feet from countryside unpleasantness but also save you from rolled ankles and skidding on slippery surfaces. Plus, provided they’re waterproof (and not just water-resistant, more on this later), they will keep your feet dry in inclement weather.

Could Bear Grylls’ mental health app help a beta male like me? It kind of did | Rich Pelley
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 11:00:17 GMT
Mettle is as alpha as the adventurer himself, but if it gets men talking about our wellbeing that can only be a good thing
I have never really been one for self-improvement. Sure, I’ve got my faults (where do I start?), but hey, I’m still a (vaguely) functioning member of society. Why change? For those of us happily stuck in our ways, the pressure is unfortunately mounting to better ourselves. It’s now all but impossible to amble into a bookshop without being confronted with a new self-help tome to “maximise YOUR productivity”, or to scour YouTube without a video thumbnail urging you to “motivate yourself to WIN”. All of which, on reflection, I could probably do with.
Enter the hard-but-posh adventurer Bear Grylls, who joined the self-help “space” in 2023 with an app called Mettle, billed as “the world’s first toolkit for men’s minds”. You can tell it’s marketed at alpha males like Grylls (as opposed to bottom feeders like me) because of the emphasis on mental fitness rather than health. My body is so unfit, I dread to think what state my brain’s in. But seeing as I at least qualify, as a bloke – albeit of the beta variety – I thought: why not give it a whirl?
