Elizabeth Lumley Global FinTech Commentator at Girl, Disrupted
I'm been writing (and now video-ing and webcasting) about the non-cool side of technology for 16 years. (sorry, guys I love single dealer portals and real-time messages buses too, but they're not making it to cover of Vanity Fair any time soon). I've never been to Comex, never been to Silicon Valley, and have never been given a cool new gadget to r...

I like watching skating - mens, womens, pairs, ice dancing (yes, there is a difference). But since the UK hasn't had a contender on the ice since Torville and Dean (look them up) the BBC doesn't show any skating in prime time! What they do show is curling.
