RIP to one of the greats.

I have reached the stage where the phrase “this bus terminates here” triggers my fight-or-flight response.

Accidentally photobombed someone filming on the Overground. I’m everything I once despised.

For your consideration.

“Babe, they named a ship after you!”

PARTY! youtu.be/zkLv8xO3tqI?...

Working on a Halloween video at midnight. What’s the worst that can happen?

My channel is about to hit a milestone and I’ve just finished making something rather special to celebrate. It’s not a cake.

Watching The Prisoner. More creators should end their series with a finale that makes no sense and offers no answers and actually just makes things more confusing.

Burial or cremation? Neither, I intend for my body to be hung in chains off the Isle of Dogs, pirate-style.

ME: The politics of mining in the North East in the eighteenth century are SO CONVOLUTED. ALSO ME: I bet this would make an awesome model railway.

It’s funny how your tastes change with age. I hate climbing the stairs, but my baby niece has decided that it is the most fun it is possible to have.

The Rapture actually happened, it’s just that nobody was Saved.

No, I do not have time for the Rapture this week. I’m far too busy. Next week you can have a Rapture.

*tidying one corner of the office up so I look professional in the Zoom meeting*

Why can’t silent majorities ever shut up?

There is an art to complaining to management.

Didn’t get much sleep last night because I was *checks notes* writing these notes.

Hi train companies. It’s really decent of you to provide charging sockets and all, but can I request one more favour? Charging sockets that work.

Just watched the new adaptation of The War of the Worlds. It’s like they only realised three quarters of the way through production that they were supposed to be adapting The War of the Worlds.

I’ve spent two days researching the history of the ice trade. If I don’t make a video about it, I’m going to feel guilty about that.

RIP Tom Lehrer, absolute master of dark-edged comedy.

Being whimsical in the comments section.

IDEA: Remake Star Trek IV, but instead of whales, the aliens are trying to contact Scatman John.

I hear they’re planning a new Judge Dredd movie. I hope they finally adapt the story where Dredd yells at a shrimp.

I always find the best way to give myself a dose of humility is to buy a new appliance and attempt to use it for the first time.

“Better switch the fan off while I record this voiceover!” Ten seconds later:

Man, I love The Wind in the Willows. It’s like, “Messing around in boats! Mr Toad’s in trouble! THE OLD GODS ARE REAL AND THE BIBLE IS A LIE! And here is Ratty’s sailor cousin! What larks!”

On the minus side, I probably should have thrown this smoked cheddar out two months ago. On the plus side, I think I’ve invented a new kind of cheese.

I now know far more about ventilation on the Underground than I ever wanted to know.

ME: Excellent, I can save £2 if I book my ticket in advance! HERITAGE RAILWAY: Please note that we charge a £2.50 online booking fee lol

My new hobby is looking at Cubist paintings and confidently declaring them to be AI.

It’s taken four hours to make a journey that should have taken one. At this point, I’m mostly completing the journey because it’s clear the universe doesn’t want me to get to South Greenford and I want to know why.

Weird one, but if anybody knows of good sources of advice on er... setting up a museum, then let me know? It's for a thing (obviously) that's an idea and a conversation right now, but if I don't figure out what would have to happen then it definitely won't even become a longer conversation.

Just narrowly avoided dropping a mug of coffee on a pile of old, rare documents. Did you know that people like me are allowed to vote and have children and stuff?

Sad news about Brian Wilson. Time to put Pet Sounds on.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

That satisfying feeling when I finally get to use a piece of footage I took four years ago in case I needed it someday. Another win for Past Me.

Round St Katharine Docks on Friday

Don’t go there, brother.

Preview of Friday’s video.

I feel like this should be better known.

I made a model railway thing. I’m a sucker for old-school modelmakers like John Ahern and Peter Denny, so I’m making my buildings the old-fashioned way.

Fun in the comments section.

Happy Glorious 25th to all who celebrate.

“Diamond Dragon” sounds like a brand of cider that comes in 3-litre bottles.

When Jago met Thomas

I am generally enjoying Doctor Who and the Silurians, but the decision to play the incidental music on a kazoo was certainly a choice.
