Quote post with the X-Men comic that came out the month you were born. Marvel's best spacefaring team featuring a displaced earthling and gun-toting bushy tailed character.

After making a complete hash of the rules last week in a 4 player game, I played Unconscious Mind again last night. Really enjoyed it now that I understand the rules. Fun euro game with quick turns. Initially felt overwhelming with the number of components but plays smoothly once going. #boardgames

RIP Brent. I'd really hoped that he would reconcile with the rest of the band over time. He clearly wasn't in a good place recently and I hope he is now at peace. His style was unique and iconic. I play his riffs every time I pick up my guitar. Forever an inspiration to me.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

I'd heard good things about Bloodstock for years but this was my first year going. Did it live up to the hype? No, but I still had a good time. Not bad but the worst of the festivals I've been to for a long time.

Feeling exhausted after a weekend at Reggaeland. This has become my favourite festival over the last few years. Well organised, plenty of bars, food stands, toilets etc. Was really happy that I got to see the legendary Marcia Griffiths, a perfect ending to a fantastic weekend for me.

Not much of a Sabbath fan but can't help but feel like I've missed out on something special today. #genderfluid #lgbtq

If anyone knows a power-player at Greggs Bakery in the UK, let me know, cause I'm after a McDonald's style movie tie-in for ROGUE TROOPER. 😂👍

Download festival this year was one of my favourites (helped by nice weather after last year's washout). Solid lineup each day and improvements have been made based on past criticisms. Highlights of the weekend for me were KoRn, Cradle of Filth, Jinjer and Within Temptation.

Absolutely ready for Download fest this weekend. Anticipation is getting to me now! KoRn have been one of my favourite bands since I was a young teen. I've seen them many times over the years but so happy that they've finally been given the Download headline slot they deserve. #genderfluid #lgbtq

Things didn’t use to be this stupid all the time, I’m sure of it

The lockdowns over covid and being trapped inside for a long period of time impacted my confidence signicantly. I stopped sharing any pictures of myself as I hated how I looked. It's taken a long while but I'm slowly starting to feel better about myself again. #genderfluid

Played in the Wingspan tournament at #UKGE yesterday. Had a great day, really fun and everyone I played against were friendly and good sports. Results were mixed. Had a fantastic 1st game (mostly luck). Daft mistakes meant a narrow 2nd in game 2. Then a disaster in game 3!

Back from #UKGE with a haul. Little bit more restraint than last year but still probably bought more than I really need...

Off to #UKGE this weekend at the NEC. Heading down tomorrow with friends to make my wallet cry and pick up some new games. Then back on Sunday for the Wingspan tournament (only played Wingspan three times in the last year so don't foresee this going well).

Anyone able to provide advice on how to stop checking an ex's social media please? Learned behaviour over 8 years of constantly monitoring due to being cheated on multiple times are proving a hard habit to break. #RelationshipAdvice

Oh no. What a legend. All living X-Men fans have been affected by his X-Factor run in some way, whether by reading the books themselves or through osmosis, via their impact on the universe at large.

Having a pretty shite year so far but nothing like a day of great bands and sunshine to keep the black dog at bay #slamdunkfestival

Looking forward to Slam Dunk tomorrow and hoping the rain stays away. Have only made it to 3 gigs so far this year after dislocating my kneecap in Feb so glad to be about healed up in time for festival season.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.
