Things in the world are tough, I know, but it hasn’t always been this way. There was a time, not so very long ago, when Kit Kats came in a little jacket of tinfoil which you could smooth down and imprint the logo onto.

I know it’s hard to imagine now, but those times will come again.

I have just discovered that William Golding was Cornish. Suddenly his opinion of humanity makes a lot more sense.

It’s not ideal that I get mixed up between Alan Ginsberg and Alan Greenspan.

Five directors I've watched at least five films by:

Alfred Hitchcock
Kathryn Bigelow
Taika Waititi
Adam Curtis
John Huston

Five authors I’ve read at least five books by:

Douglas Adams
Margaret Atwood
Margaret Weis
Alan Moore
James Herbert

How about you?

Douglas Adams talked about the ‘shoe event horizon’, where a society becomes so depressed and degenerate that it is economically impossible to build anything but shoe shops. These are the shops on our road. A tattoo parlour is surrounded by a barber (closed down), a barber (opening), a hair salon, a hair salon and a hair salon. Opposite this picture is a hair salons. The next block of shops has three hair salons, and there are two hair salons on the next street.

Years ago, I went for an interview to be a baker. As I sat down, I noticed a lump of pale yellow material covered in flour on the table.
‘What’s that?’ I asked the interviewer.
‘Dough,’ they said. ‘You’ll be kneading that.’

The clouds above had parted
And all men thought that they had seen heaven
All men, that is, except for me
Coz it’s still raining in fucking Devon.

You know you’re in a posh place when you order a sausage for the dog and it comes with a garnish.

Surprise visit from the parents with a few pressies! Chin chin bitches

In the last few days, my daughter has taken me hunting for frogspawn, knitted a whole hat and we escaped an escape room together, while my son has GMed his first session of D&D, watched The Shining with me and read Animal Farm to me.

Feeling lucky to have kids nearly as cool as I am.

Some of the finest band names I have ever seen.
