I have some 🎶 Citronella candles! 🎶 on order I am so pumped #BornToBeWild

Something I enjoy is singing anything with six syllables to the rhythm / tune of the “heavy metal thunder!” bit in ‘Born to be Wild’ by Steppenwolf. Give it a go it might brighten your day. A slow thread 🧵

Reposting this because I seem to be particularly irresistible at the moment

I bought tickets for Fatoumata Diawara in November off the back of this which I think is in keeping with Damon Albarn’s intent. I missed her a couple of years ago because I had COVID. Yesterday her voice was so powerful it felt like it could level the stadium

Children’s picture book character Pandorobou (the Bread Thief) is a a mouse who disguises himself as a loaf of bread to sneak into bakeries and steal fresh bread.

Gorillaz at Tottenham Stadium in north east London (UK) was excellent this evening

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

This leaflet came through the door what the hell is that pest top left

5 coach train with 2 first class carriages is it 😑

If I have enough stamina to shin up this guy I reckon there’s a treasure chest at the top and then I can glide down maybe shoot a couple Bokoblins on the way

As somebody who doesn’t drive and likes to take holidays in the UK I really appreciate the Peak District. Public transport is decent, both train and bus, and you can strike out for a walk in absolutely epic countryside in no time from most anywhere.

DOCTOR: "So what seems to be the problem?" PATIENT: "Mmhbbhhggr hhruuh engghhuu." DOCTOR: "I'm sorry I can't understand, but don't worry. Great singer Bob Dylan is in town. Go see his show and no matter what ails you, you'll feel better!" PATIENT (sadly): "Ehg ddnghh m'm Bddnnn."

If Unai Emery doesn’t win yet another Europa League with a team with ‘villa’ in its name that’s me done for fate

Lovely album launch all told (thank you Terry and Liz for coming sorry you didn’t win a handmade effects pedal in the lyric bingo) #GranadaAlthletic album is here and elsewhere open.spotify.com/album/6ANEyz...

Cabbie in Manchester told me I look like Bill Gates I am deceased

Highly speculative and unlikely but I am having an album launch Friday week if you are interested. The venue is a tiny basement in a pub in London. DJs, lyric bingo, generally sedate

My most popular art from Bsky, Twitter, and Flickr

I honestly am not particularly interested in golf but as is the case a few times each year with sporting events and against all odds the BBC Radio 5Live coverage of The Masters is compelling

Feels like I haven’t made bread in ages. A successful Sunday haul 🍞

Got a guitar effects pedal circuit into one of these tiny little boxes and it works and me tell you that’s a good feeling

four colors. four colors in the same pen. with this groundbreaking technology we should be able to increase writing output 4x and usher in a new era of productivity

So great to have a new starter and get to enthuse to them about the multiple ways in which the team are amazing 🥲

Friends the hubris that comes from being able to make bread out of crisps I tell you. I was convinced I could execute a vegan lemon drizzle cake first try and hell was I ever wrong 🍰 😭

The best thing in a while I am absolutely rinsing this youtu.be/pRgHYWOtqqc?...

Can I title my talk at Camp Digital later in the year “What is love? Data don’t hurt me…”

I bought myself a boiler suit to wear around the house and such because I’m not a robe person and I thought it would be comfortable and practical and it is but now my children keep calling me Super Mario

Why is it impossible to bring order to the chaos that is my children’s socks

Comedy is all about timing. In this case, 3 decades.

A group of young kestrels is startled by the presence of a butterfly. 🤣🤣🤣

Apropos of nothing at all you know, anyone know good citizens-holding-government-to-account apps and services that don't suck?

In a pub. Two staff talking about learning guitar and the relative merits of playing right or left handed regardless of whether you’re right or left handed. I chip in that I’m left handed and play right handed and offer my experience of that. Am told how interesting and also [1/2]

Hello friend happy new year and also I hesitate to post sandwiches right now TBH but what the heck can I interest you in homemade fried chicken thigh with a zesty lime mayonnaise plus lettuce on a floured white bap with a side of fries and extra chicken how about it what say you? 🥪

Last loaf of 2025 is the alcohol free Guinness sourdough, I think my most successful bread recipe iteration this year. Happy new year to you and all the best for 2026 💪🏻

It's time for "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead to be fully embraced as a Christmas song.
