Went to this at Warwick Arts Centre this afternoon. An afternoon brilliantly spent.
Delighted to say I’ll be back on the road later this year with a brand-new show called Word Perfect. There are lots of dates - hope you can join me.

Main benefit of time off. I’m home in the daytime and can play drums all day. Currently playing along to Queen, Wembley 86.

I’m settled on the sofa to watch Brackley Town’s FA Cup game. A fantastic club that I’ve been privileged to cover over many years. I’m really hoping they can pull off an upset tonight.

Strong agree.
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Strong agree.
Da iawn, Cymru! 🏴 1-0!

This is great! It’s hitting a sweet spot between my enjoyment of comedy and my sociology degree.
This is my thing that I made because I wanted to make something of substance. It’s about comedy, which might seem frivolous, but actually I think comedy opens up conversations on the whole of human nature: podfollow.com/the-comedy-b...

It seems I’ve come back from the Queen fan convention with a cold (aka conventionitis). Sigh.

Listen to me, Michael, and Ian wax lyrical about Blackadder series 2! This was great fun!
Here, a little later than usual (due to personal circs) is the latest episode, fittingly titled "Many Apoh-loh-ghies for the Inconwenience".
We also welcome back an old friend of the show, Paul @journopaulb.bsky.social, who waxes lyrical about Blackadder II.

I’m getting this book for my upcoming birthday. Looking forward to reading it.
My holiday reading has been this. Every page has an "oh really?" moment. Little moments in songs we thought we knew inside out are beautifully revealed. #TrevorHorn has produced another gem here.

A brief but lovely time in Amsterdam. It also included a brief but nice chat with two ladies from Peru. The first time since I started learning two years ago that I’ve spoken Spanish to a native speaker. I’m pleased with how it went.
Stopping off in Amsterdam before I fly home. Love this city.
