**AI-generated image** created from four selfies of me, using this prompt on Gemini: "using these reference images, produce a hyper-realistic, formal portrait depicting the subject in a light blue sport coat. his expression should convey powerful confidence and composure, with a subtle sense of authority and intelligence. Use refined, dramatic lighting, soft studio illumination with delicate shadows that define and enhance facial contours. The background should feel understated yet upscale, such as charcoal, deep taupe, or a smooth black gradient. Capture the image in a premium editorial style with crisp focus and cinematic depth of field, as if shot on an 85mm lens. Ensure extremely high detail, consistent with a polished corporate portrait and luxury brand aesthetic."
Text: Anyway: conscious uncoupling. Back in the day, you'll remember, Gwyneth and the Coldplay singer deployed this particular phrase when announcing their marital split. Did the public love it? They did not. The general vibe - as with so much of Her Vajesty's output - was that she would do even marriage failure more smugly and unachievably than mere plebs could ever. The pivot from gushing about her perfect marriage to gushing about her perfect divorce felt like mere days

English cricket remains a metaphor for the country at large: hollowed out and stripped down, a place of VIP queues and boarded-up high streets, pristine public school fields and “no ball games” signs on housing estates. A place where people are slowly tuning out, living paycheck to paycheck, bored of experts.
