History shows us energy megaprojects often have three things in common: underestimated budgets, exaggerated jobs and royalty claims, and foreign ownership.

My lifelong football club #Arsenal have won the P League title after 22 years of hurt, narrow second place finishes and, ultimately, tactical and mental perseverance.
Last night I couldn’t quite believe it, but that may just be the PTSD from past seasons kicking in.
This morn, victory is sweet.
