You think you don't want to read an article about a football match, but you do. You really do.
Trust me you do.
6 November 1998 - Face the facts. If Alex Horne were to report on a football game between the Navy and the Blues, and there WASN'T an extended nautical metaphor and reference to Jane Fonda, you'd be confused.

"...be confident the risk of death is low."
Words to live by (almost all the time).
It’s still pretty mild here and looks like staying that way - although obviously that’s still very cool by Californian standards. Bring some options but be confident the risk of death is low.

Aaaaah! Going to see Rosie Jones' show tonight in Birmingham!

Very excited - especially as the last time I saw anything of hers she was in Clash of the Comics and she [REDACTED] Phil Wang!

I got to get a reader pass from the British Library, and it's the coolest I've ever felt.
30 October 1998 - Stirring reporting in Cambridge's Varsity magazine. In attempting to relate the facts of a football game, Alex writes a short memoir of his time as a linesman.

It is said that if you look at this sad little Qrs screencap seven times, he will reappear in a future task.

It was a lovely, sobering, friendly, and even fun night! The speakers were wonderful and so generous with their experiences, and the people organising things were just the nicest peeps. Special shout out to Lizzy the medic who was the best.

Please donate if you can - they're making a difference.

I've been enjoying seeing Alex with his white Casio F-91W watch. I think it looks neat. @taskmaster.tv

Train delay adventures but I'm on the last leg of the trip to the Sleep-Out in Slough!

Last chances to donate to the fundraising for SHOC before I sleep out tonight in a box and bag. I've been so fortunate to have met my goal, but the charity is as worthy as ever 💖💖

One free ticket for tonight's Horne Section gig at the London Palladium.

My Internet reach is limited, I'm a bit shy, and the seat is by me in row H, but if you'd like to come along, message me!

(I panic bought one more than I needed).

Whoops, it's #drawtober again, so everyone has to deal with another batch of my silly NMJ comics. In this one, we discuss the physics of pastry eating, and the dimensions and relative chewability of macs.
