Do you remember the event or do you remember seeing the video on TV?
Whichever it is, one of my first clear memories of world events was the helicopters evacuating the US embassy in Saigon.
America doesn’t have a great record when it comes to countries beginning the V.

Fitted some All-Season tyres to the van. They weren’t that much more expensive. I got them to deal with the slurry and rain but I’ve just driven up the mountain road that’s covered in an inch of snow and not a twitch or slide. Does make me think what the ordinary non-season tyres are for, mind.

- the audience at a Wembley stadium Bowie concert, where I got really quite profoundly trampled after falling under the crowd in one of those crushes where nobody can move their arms or breathe
- loving humans

Starting work again tomorrow. Applications to fill, books to write, plays to craft, masks to make, puppets to animate…
Please be kind, be calm, be loving, be human in the best way a human can be. I wish you all a blessed year, filled with the light that is within you.

I switched it off a couple of times when I was drunk. Oh man… it was gas craic.
What was your biggest impact on the internet?
I (accidentally and innocently) was the ignition point for an early internet rumour and ended up as a footnote on Snopes

I accidentally made “Zoe” the most popular transfemme name for a solid five years.

When honey bees mate, the sex is passionate and fatal because the male (drone) bee’s testicles explode and that’s it for Mr Bee. I guess there are reasons and all that but it always feels so utterly unrequited.
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

This is one of my younger self’s favourite songs. I go back to it occasionally and it still hits so hard.

Kids have gone home to homes away from home home. House is quiet. Not a cross word this Christmas. No stress, no discontent. I think that’s about as good as it gets. Love them both to bits and they are becoming themselves at last, dealing with the neuro stuff, just like I am. Proud Dad post. I am.

We made it. Whether we relished 2025 or were clinging on in desperation, the new year is arriving.
Time does that.
No resolutions from me other than to remain curious. It helps to deal with the unpredictability of... well, everything.

Sobering, terrifying and so very sad. It’s a generational trauma of which none of us will ever rid ourselves.
It’s been 6 yrs since my sister rang me about the respiratory illness that she and her colleagues in respiratory medicine, were terrified of. That’s the last time I knew that version of her, the next 18 months traumatised her forever. I know the world had to move on, but its hard to see the erasure

This is a wow.
In an extraordinary display of biological resilience, moss spores survived for nine months outside the ISS. The spores were then returned to Earth, where 86 percent germinated and began to grow, researchers reported this year. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/moss-spores-survive-nine-months-space
Moss spores survived in space for 9 months
The moss species Physcomitrium patens is the latest organism to survive an extended stay in the vacuum and radiation of space.

Kinda have to relate this one. Fellah I know, Ivan. Big guy, tall, theatre techie. He’s walking into a pub and he wipes out this wee fellah ‘cos of his eyeline… it do be Van the Man. Thing is, this happens again weeks later in a different bar and yep, same short, Belfast born singer.
I was walking into a motorway services place recently, there was an outer door and an inner one. Another guy was coming out and we each held our door open for the other, so I said, ‘I’ll swap yeh.’ And we did.
Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”
