Ava, Nancy and Nell’s dad. BBC News live page and sometimes other digital bits.

I like a lot of music most people think is ridiculous.
Try saying this out loud: “I’m going to have my cherry Chouffe with the Traitors.”

A tongue twister.

Sky have just introduced some bloke as a “Fantasy Football expert,” asked him how his game was going and he replied “struggling.”

Atmosphere at Palace flatter than the last pint in a keg, where are these ultras we hear so much about?

Just asked my two-year-old if we’re going to win the league and she said no.

Up the Villa.

There are dads across the country, like me, with their fingers under cold taps at the moment with cut fingers from cleaning new knives they opened yesterday and used today.

Barbecuing a turkey while listening to Bon Jovi and this may be the happiest I have *ever* been.

It you lived in Albert Square you’d just go away for Christmas, wouldn’t you?

Christmas Eve, on a break at work, chips and beans do tea, listening to Lifetime.

Hope you’re all having fun.

One of the most dad things I’ve ever done is order some Christmas presents from instagram adverts and I’ve looked at the tracking and they’re all in China.

06:55 and on my way to work.

A monumental day. For the first time ever, I’ve forgotten my glasses.

Someone at work just said, without a hint of irony, “I’ve heard of PS5, but not PSG.”

This season I have seen elite-level footballers younger than my oldest daughter.

That’s a serious “I’m old” moment, that.

I have just witnessed a child being told off by her mum for being rude to ChatGPT.

I’ve never left a show saying the band should have charged more for tickets until tonight.

Turnstile.

Bloody hell.

Watching some old music videos on YouTube with my daughters.

No piece of media has ever captured the joy and despair of football better than the video for Waka Waka.

Wifi on planes is admittedly pretty cool. You wouldn’t be enjoying this post without it.

That it enables headphone-less FaceTime calls at 32,000 feet?

Not so much.

Day off with my daughter tomorrow.
Just asked her what she wants to do and she said “go to nursery.”
