Music obsessive, beer drinker, cat lover and all ‘round nice guy.
I told Adam Hart-Davis I admired his enthusiasm for his subjects on his tv shows when I saw him on Newton Abbot railway station. He told me rather bitterly that he wished the BBC shared my view.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Is there a special module in their NVQ that builders take in order to whistle out of tune, listen to Radio 2 at frightening volumes and drink tea with 4 sugars in it?

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

When the conductor announces the list of stations the train will be stopping at, everyone should cheer when their station is called out

How long are we going to let Banks pretend that they can't do anything on weekends. It's all been digital for years, just send the chuffing standing order payment.

I swear that if I see one more gritty drama filmed with that blue/teal filter and teal and brown colour scheme I’m going to start listening to the voices in my head…
Even the advert makers are at it now!

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

And they said romance was dead…
Wife shares my bath water after me as I'm normally very quick. Week ago I farted in the bath but a logger came out. Had to empty the bath & re run it, Mrs asked why, I panicked & said I wanked in it. She hasn't spoke to me since but better than confessing to shitting in the bath.

Managed to introduce "synergistic frictivation" into the company lexicon after using it in a strategy document to test if anyone reads them. Now, senior management uses it in presentations as if it's gospel. Last week, someone suggested we "frictivate our verticals".
