When it is a hot summer day and you don't speak the language ..so order a beer pretty randomly to then find out it is a chilli beer. Also, my lips hurt.

More than a bit surreal. Hiroshima is a thriving, normal city. We are sat having an evening drink and can see the hypocenter (ground zero) for the first nuclear bomb.

Now waiting on a domestic flight. 9am and I have self serve beer in the lounge. Good thing airport time is in play!

@taikonaut.bsky.social what a job title this would be www.museumjobs.com/jobdetails.p...

Bank Holiday Krapp.

@taikonaut.bsky.social ready, go! Stones and Sea Power I imagine might be your starting point!

@johnacecil.bsky.social no photo as Equus - they understandably allow no phones but another night with Toby Stephens on stage here. Amuses me the couple of times a year he does West End and I see him instantly makes me think of you and your Black Sails enthusiasm. Hope all is well with you there!

Well, that's umm encouraging...

Surely someone has The Wrath of Khan and Gorgu.

@davefetterman.bsky.social you know that place you don't visit very often? Visit for more on brief convo the other night!

@campbellbox.bsky.social obviously I immediately thought of you.

Second night of the excellent Big Thief. Big props to Brixton Academy security who spotted us waving - tall in a crowd might irritate people around me but I'm easily seen! - and had medics through to us in 30 seconds flat. Pretty sure all was fine, heat & booze a bit much. A second great gig 👍

First of two nights seeing Big Thief at Brixton Academy. Simulation Swarm followed by Not 🔥🔥🔥

Feels some what appropriate to retweet Delfont Mac when tickets to see this in Cardiff are SO much cheaper. We've booked the New Theatre Cardiff and even with adding a hotel stay and travel, it'll be cheaper than the equivalent London seats. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Not even our first 2027 theatre booking 😂

@taikonaut.bsky.social how goes getting even older? Did you successfully receive some gifts today? Blame your sister for the quality of the wrapping.. A nice book and comic?

This was the Taskmaster episode that aired tonight. That studio task was just under 35 minutes to film. Laughed so hard.

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

Loved this on Broadway last year. Very very VERY excited to see it in London tonight. That moment when" But I hear sounds in my mind" hits. 🔥🔥🔥🟢🟢🟢

@amalelmohtar.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... At last!

First preview of Icke's Romeo & Juliet with Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe.

@taikonaut.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBls... cinema trip required!

This 6 Nations has just given and given and given.

@amalelmohtar.com spotted in Waterstones this evening, nice names to be display next to - Gabriel García Márquez!!

@taikonaut.bsky.social @kierongillen.bsky.social Good to see you both this evening. We had a train to catch but hopefully next time we'll be able to hang around for a beer afterwards .

@taikonaut.bsky.social this is the plan for this evening!

The more things change, the more Ferrari strategy remains the same. #F1 #AusGP

The always excellent Michael Sheen in Our Town out at Rose Kingston this evening.

Life is really feeling unstructured at the moment. Need a bit of a reset now this week.

Record win in Twickenham, we'll take that. #6Nations #ENGvIRE

Maxïmo Park anniversary tour at Brixton 👍👍

At least somewhere the courts still do their jobs.

Samurai at the British Museum. Very busy but also very good, certainly worth a visit.

Fancy cocktails in Bar Columbus in Faro is always a highlight of these visits to Portugal.

Airport beers are the best beers. Heading to Portugal for a week 🎉

Dara Ó Briain, hugely funny (as always) and a masterful storyteller. Brought us all with him to Vancouver and then to Birmingham and finally to Kilkenny, hanging on every word and wishing for the best for him and his family(s).

@craig-mcgill.bsky.social you good dude? Worked this place out? ;)

@rightwong.bsky.social kenrextheplay.com Best show I saw last year. Saw it twice - cannot recommend highly enough.

Oh yes!

It’s been a while since the AV Clubs cover series has done something this bonkers/brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

@taikonaut.bsky.social FYI, new phone has been ordered (a shiny new iPhone). Should be with you in a few days.

@rightwong.bsky.social thefearof13broadway.com This was superb. Big recommend tho I dread to think $$$.

I've a 90 min one on one with my CEO this afternoon. So naturally I'm on the train on the way home after just arriving in the office to find I've brought the wrong laptop. So stupid. What a start to my week 🤬😱🤯
