Not exaggerating when I say that growing the Profanisaurus from a 40 page pamphlet to a 700 page encyclopaedia is one of our greatest achievements as a nation.

The RSPB has stopped tweeting.

I can't back it up with evidence, but I firmly believe I just cooked and ate the finest beef roast in the world. Yorkshires, proper gravy, spuds, parsnips, all bang on. Going for a walk shortly to digest.

I've never smashed a 'like' button harder.

Having sanded a load of stuff for a bench and table, my favourite bit comes next: oil finishing. Just watching the change from raw sanded wood to a smooth, shining, slightly translucent surface is really beautiful. #woodworking

Making a countertop out of some nice ash today with a live edge, so I get to do everyone's favourite thing - sanding.

Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it. As Herne would say: "Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten." authory.com/JohnBull/Not...

I have just fed sven people about 1.5kg of medium toasted beef. It was very good, and my Greek friend Georgios got to try Yorkshire pudding for the first time. Win.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

Loving the updated White House portrait.

Yes...ha ha ha...FUCKING YES!!!

Best new guitar excuse ever - my daughter has asked for "a rock guitar" to share with her brother for Christmas, so I have a new red Squier 3/4 Mini Strat on the way. Obviously it's going to need some setup and testing.

To the best of my knowledge none of the poetry in my head has ever paid any rent, they just top up the metre sometimes

Just done my first judo session for about ten years, as my kids started doing it recently and wanted to see me prove I could still have a crack too. Fair enough. The teacher got me running the warm up and I now feel like I've been run over, but in kind of a good way.

Haha Optician's assistant, bar/kitchen, wine merchant, raging alcoholic, dry cleaner (the worst job I've had), quit the booze, care support worker, supermarket delivery driver > manager, rehab worker, ADHD diagnosis, carpentry apprenticeship in my third language because why do anything the easy way?

Just met this excellent cat on a job site, demanding scritches. Ear scritching delivered, 10/10, would scritch again.

Find you someone as happy to see you as the Egyptian Foreign Minister is to see the present the Danish Foreign Minister got him.

For no reason at all I thought this quote from Katie Lam MP would work in a different font. I thought I’d add a headline too. Apropos of nothing in particular. Really, no reason at all.

My son has spent some of his birthday money on a whoopee cushion, and now I have to teach him all the English playground classic lines for letting one rip. He finds this very funny, whereas I am obviously treating it with the proper scientific detachment*. *Am I bollocks

At last! Now they've finally realised what AI is for, perhaps they'll stop trying to foist it on every other aspect of our lives

Love this – an excellent way to explore the work of Drew Struzan, actor by actor.

Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hands And grisly ghouls will take a chance To put some cobwebs on your pants And though the fear is on your face Your eyes, just endless flickers No mere mortal can resist The cobwebbed bat-shaped knickers

Got a new car on Friday. 1997 Opel Corsa 1.2l. It doesn't tell me when to change gear, how to park, that the engine has an unspecified problem requiring the expensive intervention of a laptop, and doesn't scold me about my seatbelt. And it has fewer than 50,000 miles on the clock. I love it.

Reposting with a #woodworking hashtag, because I forgot earlier. This is what happens when the previous apprentice doesn't clear out the dust collection for a couple of months.

Carpentry apprentice duties: today, a bit of light dusting.
