Mas is long habituated to an all-steel 1911 .45 inside his waistband. Some folks aren't. That's OK, and here a 1911 Nighthawk Falcon 9mm is on his carry menu for a while, for reasons stated in the column. It’s human nature, I suppose. Someone finds the right automobile/political party/firearm for himself, invests his ego in the choice, and then decides to tell you what’s right for him is obviously right for you.

Welcome to ourbrave new working world, where you’re spending a lot of time remotely sitting in front of a camera, most likely your computer or cellphone camera, in a video conferencing app. As someone who has filmed a lot of interviews, I wanted to share some tips and tricks that I use when setting up situations so people look and sound great. Because no one signed up for this, but at least we can try to make the best of it.

Well done for being here, mate. Not because you’ve finally plucked up the courage to pop the question, but because you’ve realised that you can’t just buy the 18ct gold equivalent of a child's hula hoop and be done with it.
