Sitting at 38,000 feet seems like the perfect place to reflect on my first trip to the new Wembley Stadium – on Saturday we went to see Muse live, supported by Dirty Pretty Thing, the Streets and Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

I don’t rock ‘the suit’ very much – I’m lucky that I can get away with jeans at work, and a polo shirt…but miraculously I do own a couple of suits. I’ve also promised myself a new suit when I get down to my target weight – maybe an armani or something slinky to befit [...]
