I’m taking the Julius Caesar approach to resolutions: here are the ways I’d like the rest of you to adopt better habits

No pain no gain, goes the modern mantra. Caesar’s idea topped that. No pain, no shame, and no being racked with guilt come the second week of January when all the milk chocolate salted caramels have been scoffed and the running shoes are still in the box. Far wiser to compel other people to resolve to make your world a better place. Had the Ides of March not done him in and he were still around today, Caesar would have no shortage of matters sorely in need of improvement in 2025.
Last month’s general election delivered another linguistic parvenu – the dreaded “clear pathway” to government. This pathway, one supposes, leads to the light at the end of the tunnel that guides melodramatic celebrities to “go on a journey”, preferably in impossibly high heels on Dancing with the Stars. Other offenders during the election campaign were the ubiquitous “if I’m being honest” and its kindred clutter “to be honest” and “honestly”.
Aagh, airlines! How do they get away with accepting bookings for advertised flights only to subsequently scrap the flights when they are not fully booked so that intending passengers either have to fork out for an extra night’s accommodation or shorten their holiday? There should be a law against this.
Public transport is a cesspit of inconsideration – and that’s just the passengers. Male ones manspread. Female ones bagspread, taking up the adjoining seat with their totes and backpacks. The honourable exception, of course, is Caesar’s wife who is above suspicion.
