3rd year at Bloodstock this year and I feel like a full blown piece of the furniture there now. So awesome to meet up with all the great people that like myself can't bring themselves to miss a year & the killer double act of Mastodon & Gojira on the final day was truly off the charts. I'll be back.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is like the end of result of consuming the entirety of 60 years worth of pop culture and then attempting to make a show with the impact of the original series. Each episode of that show airing is a guaranteed highlight of my week. Mission Accomplished all involved :)

Had the best time rewatching all the mission impossible films and can confidently say final reckoning feels like the second part of a much bigger story that suffers slightly by the level of importance it has in being the final one. The plane stuff at the end was absolutely off the charts though.

Absolutely fab weekend in central London. Gotta be a good sign when I am recommending New Orleans to people who should be there

Hotel Reverie is this season’s San Junipero. What an incredibly strong run of #blackmirror this is.

So this final #ozzy / #sabbath show looks like a Heavy Metal Live Aid to me, an in person funeral, an ADHD Download Festival. And it's in Villa Park. And all the hotels are already sold out. And I'm absolutely going to try and get tickets next week. #FML 🤘 #backtothebeginning

Dropped my old iPad a few too many times so was time to get a replacement. Sensible thing would have been to go for the base model which is almost identical to what I had, but sensible is not what I am 👹 #ipadair13 #balatro

Well Dad's not doing so well, I made a truly tremendous blunder at work this week (Fixed now phew) and my washing machine blew up at the weekend, but I have new jimjams now so fuck it...

Finally got to see #sleeptoken tonight and they were nothing short of stunning. A truly religious experience

Think I'm gonna try and rewatch #theholdovers over the Xmas period. Sucked we had to wait until January to watch it earlier this year and very few films have reached it's heights since!

This autumn's #steamsale haul covers those last few outliers I wanted to get to before the end of the year as well as a couple of embarassing library omisions I could have sworn I already owned, but that the deck will be ultimately grateful for. Looking forward to playing them in 2034!
