Lord’s Cricket Ground, long a bastion of that incurably British disdain for change, is set to cause quite the stir this month. The hallowed halls of the Grade-II listed pavilion, usually the exclusive retreat of the Marylebone Cricket Club, will be hosting a high fashion catwalk as part of London Fashion Week.

But the event, on Monday 17th June, is hardly expected to shock.

Partly because it rhymed and partly because Leah and Billy were probably hungry when discussing it, we decided to have a Thai food cookery competition in the office called Thai Day Friday. The name, and to a lesser extent, the food, was a thorough success. Every member of team Appointedd brought some description of exotic food, and we certainly didn't lack for trying. Particular kudos must go to Sop for her soup (not least carrying it forty minutes to the office) and Leah for bringing in multiple dishes (at least two of which were edible). Read More
