Like board games, jokes and nostalgia?
I wrote a book that combines all 3 (sort of).
A handy guide to which games you should and definitely shouldn't be playing with the family this festive period.

Support your local podcaster. They’re up against this huge machine of posh lads, production companies with huge PR budgets, and lazy millionaire comedians. It was once a steam rally, now it’s a car show.

As a humble podcaster, it’s good to see this headline. You feel immense pressure to get on the video pod train, but it’s so fucking expensive to do - which feels like the complete antithesis of what podcasting was supposed to be; a chance for the indies to have a shot.

Watching ‘Hook’. It is rubbish.
There’s just been a scene where the lost boys play skateboard basketball and they might as well all chant that they’re kung-fu hippies from gangster city.
And Hoffman is too damn short to be Hook.

My full page comic for the @prospectmagazine.co.uk Christmas issue. With sincere apologies.
![This is a comic pate drawn in the soft pencil style of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs
Basically the story is this:
- Keir Starmer in dressing gown presses face up to window, excited that it is snowing
- He runs outside, builds a snowman
- It comes to life, taps on his window
- He invites it in, gives it clothes (yellow trouser, green jacket, flat cap) and we realise (face close up) it looks like Nigel Farage
- Snowman takes him outside, launches off the ground
- They fly over the landscape, we see a town below
- A man ziptying a St George’s Flag to a lamp post waves at them as they pass
- As in the original, they head for the sea - we see a light by the coast
- Instead of Brighton pier as in the original, it is an Asylum Detention Center
- They land, we see people queuing behind a fence
- Snowman Farage points excitedly at a large bin marked VALUABLES
- Snowman Farage pulls a child's E-scooter out of the bin, he and Starmer look excited
- They take off again and go back to Keir’s home
- Farage resumes his place in the garden, Starmer walks back inside to go back to bed
- The next day Snowman Farage has melted, leaving only his clothes and the scooter - now with a bow and label attached to show it is a Christmas gift.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
