6 hours ago For the first time in 35 years, I’m having to use a pen and paper. Help! | Adrian Chiles

To think, until nearly the end of the last century, everyone had to write like thisI have come away without a laptop so, for the first time in 35 years, I have been forced to write something using pen and paper. My last attempt, for my finals at university rather than an online column, didn’t go well. I thought I was going to get a first and was bitterly disappointed with a 2:2. The problem may have been that the examiners were unable to read my handwriting. It may also have been the case that my answers weren’t very good.Writing in ink – be it using a pen or a typewriter – turns out to be shockingly different from writing on a computer. For a start, you can’t write down any old tosh with the intention of sorting it out later. Well, I suppose you could, but it would be tricky, with all sorts of crossings-out and stuff. So, alarmingly, you have to apply some thought to the matter. You have to think through the next sentence, from beginning to end, before you put pen to paper, and als...

Her hands were shaking and her breath kept sticking in her throat. As a fear-of-flying veteran I thought I recognised the symptoms. I’d come prepared with remedies chemical and naturopathic. I offered her my goods.But her anguish, it turned out, had another cause. While boarding the plane, she had received a phone call: her sister in Sydney had died suddenly in her sleep, and her sister’s wife had woken up next to the body. My seatmate was due in Melbourne to pick up her kids and in that moment – as the final boarding call sounded – she had no ability to process the news, let alone work out who to call for help. So she boarded the plane and had to turn off her phone. I hope to never know what that would have felt like: trap...

A salad of cool, crunchy fruit bathed in a deeply savoury, garlicky dressing, according to Wei Guo of the Red House Spice blog, Pāi Huáng Guā is to be found on “family dinner tables, in small street cafes and in upscale restaurants” nationwide.Here in the UK, however, it’s particularly associated with Sichuan restaurants, where the cucumbers act as a bracing contrast to the fiery flavours of chilli and hot and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. In fact, there are many different versions regionally, but what...

13 hours ago Jayden Daniels is perfectly suited to give the No 1 seed Lions a nasty shock

The quarterback may be a rookie but he doesn’t play like one. And his skillset could well help the Commanders spring a surprise in Detroit on SaturdayThere’s a legitimate argument to be made that if you’re a rookie NFL quarterback, and your team makes the playoffs, you are no longer a rookie. By your first postseason game, your opponent has a full season of your game tape and tendencies, you’re playing with more on the line, and the experience is completely different in both importance and intensity.In the case of the Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels, we may have to forward that point a bit. Because Daniels, the second overall pick in the 2024 draft, rarely looked like a rookie when he was. In the regular season, he completed 69.0% of his passes for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and a passer rating of 100.1, which ranked 10th among regular starting quarterbacks. Add in Daniels’ 148 rushing attempts for 891 yards (6.0 yards per carry) and six touchdowns, and it...
