286 scored in the IPL this morning and honestly if this is where cricket is heading I want to get off please; who's ever going to want to be a bowler if that becomes the norm 😴🫠 #ipl #ipl2025

Trying to explain to normal people that the reason you're feeling a bit sad today is because your favourite crab account on Instagram passed away 🥲🦀

Outfield looks rapid and Zaman looks injured already? That's a huge blow to Pakistan if he's out from the second ball of the tournament #championstrophy #CT25

I have an absolute visceral hatred for First's revenue protection people. They make everyone late for work doing spot inspections at rush hour in case anyone hasnt paid their fare ... A ticket is literally £2 guys, who the fuck cares!?

We have simultaneously been threatened with a rent rise due to the energy bills being too high the last month (I'm bills included) and have also been told to keep the heating on all the time to avoid freezing/bursting pipes... What do? 🥲🤷🤷🫣🫣

Gotta feel rotten for McSweeney...

Called up to play in a role he's never done before against Bumrah and co; then be the one to get axed after 3 games, on the eve of a boxing day test when his more experienced top order teammates have done no better... it's very harsh. #BGT2024 #BGT

The last week I've been making a video that has the phrase "mince-pie holder" in it and have caught myself multiple times uttering;

"Chickens go in, pies come out"
