40-something single dad of four, bloody happy with life.
I believe every man who doesn’t have a beard would look better with a beard.

How many rodeos is the right number of rodeos for me to know what I'm doing?

Because I'm way past my first rodeo and still haven't got a clue.

I want a show of Nick and Joe travelling the country in an old school mini.

Don’t even care what they’re doing on the trip.

Linda is looking at Alan and thinking it should’ve been her.

Joe could eat Nick and STILL manage three Weetabix.

Imagine living in the age when the invention of sliced bread was the best thing EVER.

Simpler times. Good times.

Just received a welcome email from my own company that I didn't know was being sent out today, and I can't stop smiling about it!

@whingewhingewine.co.uk is bloody good at this.

It’s not everyday you launch the business and application that you’ve had in your head for a decade.

Time for wine, I think.

Just discovered the phrase Schroedinger's Douchebag, and I need to add this to my vocabulary.

Pretty sure soon I'll do my grocery shopping and not be able to eat anything until I've downloaded an app for it.

"What a nice orange! Better register on the Orinj app and give them all my data so I can enjoy it fully and receive orange-related news, alerts and updates for the rest of my life."

Kids today have grown up without DVD director commentary, and boy does that show.

Just heard someone from OK Go say “There’s no idea until you’ve played.”

I think I’ve found a new motto.

Healthcare professionals: if you’re dealing with a child and their divorced parents, please don’t automatically just talk to the mum and exclude the dad. Especially after you’re told that custody and parental responsibility is entirely shared 50/50.

Thankyouplease

For someone who doesn't believe in reincarnation, I spend far too much time happily planning how much better I'm going to do it when I get my second go at being in my 20s.

A day will come when cooking instruction writers will accept that none of us know the wattage of our microwaves, or preheat our ovens.

But it is not this day.

Mystery date today! Well, it’s not really a mystery for me as I booked it, but she doesn’t know where we’re going.

I hope this turns out at least half as well as I think it will…

It's my boy's 19th birthday tomorrow and he was supposed to be having the boys over for a poker night, but every single one of them has pulled out. So instead he's coming over and we're going to drink beer and watch Taskmaster for the evening.

By the way, the fact that all three of these shows are on at the same time makes this my favourite time of the year.
What show would you rather be on out of:

- Strictly Come Dancing
- Taskmaster
- The Traitors

Shoutout to my daughter, who realised on a car journey that she’d accidentally connected to the Spotify jam of the BMW in front of us, and proceeded to queue up Witch Doctor by Cartoons on repeat for 15 miles.

And yes, I stayed close to him so he couldn’t change it.

Sorry not sorry, James.

Snooze buttons are pointless.

Just set the alarm for when you need to get up and get up then.

Too much to remember! It's started relationships, given me holidays, introduced me to many of my closest friends, got me jobs, on telly, given me support when I've needed it the most, helped me with gifts for my kids, helped get me through lockdown, taught me so much, and generally been a laugh.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Once a year you should be allowed to look around your neighbour's house.

Just, you know, to see what it's like, how they've arranged things differently to you, and what the hell they've put next to your wall that's so bloody loud ALL THE TIME.

The day I realised that nobody cares how many unread emails I have, and that it won't change a single thing in my world, THAT was a freeing day.
