Me and @markcooperjones.bsky.social off of Map Men just went on David Bennett’s ‘How Do You Do Podcast’, in which we talk about how we make our videos, how a map mistake nearly got in very big trouble, and we finally disclose how we REALLY met.

This is driving me nuts. What song has lyrics that sound like (but apparently aren’t) “with the yellow-y eye”?

OK, it’s not 2016, by 7 days, but I’ve gone through my camera roll and I thought this was the most shareable thing - proof that I was among the first 1,000 people to discover the Beatles.

@jackbern.bsky.social Taskmaster question…
If you’re a TM fan, you know full well that while Greg is the presenter, the show is Alex’s baby. It’s a huge part of what makes Taskmaster Taskmaster that as fans we take for granted.

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

My brilliant idea…
Stations should have the displays for when the next train’s coming outside on the street, to better advertise the service and coax people in. It’s arguably a more practical place to put it than on the platform.

Don’t go to bed until you’ve made another satisfying dent in your Christmas shopping by ordering a copy of the Map Men book for your Uncle Barry for the temporary low price of £8.33.
