This is a great punchline I wrote for a joke about an octopus. Sadly I cannot remember the joke.

I don’t think I have ever been this sweaty in my life and I am generally a sweaty man.
Bloody hell that was hot
Some classic pre-season nonsense from tonight’s fixture. One goal in the opening hour, seven in the last 30 minutes. A 5-3 defeat, two penalty saves and a worrying amount of minutes in our decrepit legs. ONWARDS 💚

It has taken 34 years and ten months, but last night I finally used ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’ in a sentence. (I realised immediately after that I meant ‘disestablishmentarianism’.)

Do we talk about #universitychallenge on here because a) that was thrilling and b) I’d have won the tie-break.

Remembering a funny incident with my large human baby (1Y) yesterday in which he did a big fart and pointed to his nappy, which he does to indicate that he’s shit himself. Took him upstairs, on the changing table, nappy off, no shit and the wee man laughing at me.
Mugged off by a baby.

Just had to explain to my 13 month old son that, sadly, Paw Patrol is ACAB and he can’t watch it.

Tonight’s listen was Breakfast in America by Supertramp following complaints of previous choices being too abrasive. Holly - ‘yeah that was good’. Theo - not the usual levels of excitement but he enjoyed the title track. I’m a fan of this album (I own it, after all); side A rips, B is a bit meh.

Every night (well nearly) during family dinner we listen to an album. If I remember, I’m going to try to chronicle the listening and capture some reactions.

A running joke from my old band that I’ve just remembered is that we referred to drop D as ‘standard tuning’ and I just think that’s a great bit.

Scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw with my first touch after coming on, so actually pretty well I reckon.
Playing football today. Put my back out at a soft play centre last Sunday. Let’s see how this goes.
