Not saying I have a tendency to catastrophise but I woke up this morning feeling a bit under the weather and immediately thought 'probably the hantavirus'.

Just replied 'you too!' to the person who handed me my sandwich who said 'Enjoy!'. Will think of this for 8 months

We came, we saw, we conquered (the middle tier).

A takeover, no point deduction and an actual win. What a day

'I don't know why you need to send me this nonsense' my wife says as I send her yet another photo of Mr Blobby.

How have I not heard Lux by Rosalía until today. Absolutely astonishingly good

Veterans of PlayStation's Singstar will know that there are just simply too many 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart's at the end of the song of the same name. Goes on forever, it's unseemly

Where did all these novelty hot cross buns come from? Who's watching them? Something nefarious going on there

It's just perfect isn't it

I know it's coming in with the fresh 10 year old take but Melodrama sure is an astonishing album

And in a shock write in landslide... Better Man has won Best Picture for the second year in a row!

This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Hotel Chocolat feels old now doesn't it. Live long enough and you become the Thornton's. What are you thinking xx

Incredible album.

History makers

Asked my daughter who I'm starting to suspect struggles with ADHD what goes through her brain and she just answered 'just lots and lots of dancing bananas'

Team GB golds at the Winter Olympics 🤜 🤛 my closet More than a normal amount of skeletons

8.50: 'curling is boring isn't it' 8.55: 'HE DOUBLE TAPPED IT! I SAW IT!'

That true authentic cuisine, European

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Remember when they tried to make a strawberry sandwich a thing

Heartbroken 💔 thanks Barry for everything, absolute legend 🦉

NUMBER 16 BABYYYYYY Who the fuck are 'The Beatles' anyway Absolute legend.

Comfortably the least owns in the top end but still pleased to finish top 25 in Brain of Music. Still, there's a LOT of music out there I have no clue on. Until next time!

2026 is definitely the year so far of 'Hey, do you remember all that work you did in terms of self-validation and growth? Wouldn't it be cool if you forgot it all and went back to hating yourself?'

This was already a lovely blind date and then I saw this. Go on Jenny you legend. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Yes

If you think this is a problem in The Traitors you should see quiz. I've forgotten which one I am before.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

This Christmas. WAFR TV. 1: A Christmas Top of the Pops by WAFR 2: 100 Top WAFRs of 2025 Pop Party

Anytime I go on Facebook there's some AI slop video of the worst possible shit you can imagine and it has 700k likes

I've seen some great wrestling in my time but have never had as much fun at a show as last night at @riotcabaret.bsky.social. Just completely gets what it's meant to be about, outrageously silly and fun, and we got a photo with the big man.

Tried to get one of those Spanish surrealist artists to paint the capital of Timor-Leste but it was a big waste of time.

Went on my annual trip to the cinema last night to see the new Knives Out movie, Wake Up Dead Man. Really loved it, so much fun, had some pick and mix, what more can you want in an evening really

Sometimes a silly thing is the best thing.

Of the last twelve authors who have won the Booker Prize, only two (Marlon James and Douglas Stuart) have published another novel since their win. Obviously very recent winners skew the stat, but still a surprising figure to me. Worth a read (though you may need to register to read it for free):

Yeah this looks very much up my street

Can't believe I get to watch my all-time hero wrestle

Not saying my Dad struggles with tech or anything but he made a WhatsApp group, added only me to it and called it 'Mike'.

Get this man a statue.

Not saying that second child syndrome is a thing or anything but our first child wouldn't speak a word at school for his first two years whereas our second child has had six weeks at school and so far I've had to tell her..

We've got our club back ❤️

Multiple people sent this to me and said 'this is you isn't it?'. That can't be good.

Was idly listening to Spotify and it suddenly played Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight. Stay vigilant.

Thanks Spotify.

Always the places you least suspect.

Proper pubs with an ale in a dimple pint glass.

Mate it's clearly towards the finish line

Best song post-2010? Best song post-2010.

Norman Fucking Rockwell! is a true masterpiece. More hot takes this way
