Angela Rayner was forced to resign over a tax inconsistency resulting from bad legal advice, but Nigel Farage is allowed to get away with what looks like a clear attempt at tax avoidance. This is the two-tier legal system Farage keeps harping on about?

I'd love to be as good at entrepreneurialism as I am at onanism.

OK, I'm off to skateboard 245km. It sounds a lot, but it's only 152 miles. And over 3 days; so only 50 miles a day. Should be a doddle... a long, hard, grinding doddle.

Top ten cheering up things 1. Biscuit - Hobnobs 2. Crisps - Brets tartiflette 3. Tea - ginger and lemon 4. Coffee - all forms, from tar to latte 5. Beer - juicy cloudy IPA 6. Meal - fusilli con i piselli 7. Snack - Lidl tasty 8. Wine - sparkling 9. Takeaway - Thai 10. Pastime - skateboarding

We talk about deep things having depth. But not of steep things having stepth. I hate English.

Today in Marcus does MapTap. Saw Kraftwerk in Oakland. I drove through Buffalo on my way to Niagara Falls. I went to Giza to point and stare at pointy buildings. I went to Berlin with a beautiful Serbian girl to stand by the wall... and we kissed, as though nothing could fall.

The Sentier de la Violette de Rouen takes you up this chalk cliff in under 700 m of walking. So it’s pretty steep! But from the top you get spectacular views of the Seine and of Rouen.

I know Arse ‘n all were celebrating some kickball thing. Presumably not their humiliating loss to PSG Eindhoven, but it properly fucked up my weekend.

Up early for the back to France this morning, so playing on the iPad. Not sure I would’ve done better on the computer…. www.maptap.gg June 1 100🎯 97🔥 100🎯 97🔥 98🎯 Final score: 982

Watching “You’re Not Alone” at the Lightroom, I realise that David Bowie was the first artist I ever travelled overseas to see perform.

Lots of great scores on MatPat today, but it’s becoming clear that almost no-one knows exactly where Minneapolis is. And I think we should all bear that in mind before mocking USians for not being able to point to Earth on a globe.

One of my fave things about having ADHD is getting logged out of my internet banking three times before I get to doing what I logged in for the first time.

As thunder rumbles and the heavens open I’m reminded that this is not the first time I have travelled to the UK without a raincoat on the basis of a spotless 10-day outlook. I doubt it will be the last. I’m not made of salt.

Today in Marcus does MapTap. Been to Sydney several times; once for the weekend, to see Redd Kross. Drove through Minneapolis on my way from Chicago to Deadwood, ND. Stopped because Hüsker Dü. Swam in bioluminescent algae in Ochos Rios. Photos were shit. Sunset instead. Edinburgh Festival - often.

Been to four of today's five. Only sloppy clicking prevented my third perfecto. www.maptap.gg May 28 100🎯 99🎯 100🎯 100🎯 99🎯 Final score: 996

This is Bovril. He’s been trying to French me for three years. Last night due to my sluggish dehydrated state…. He managed to slip me the full tongue.

Apologies for all that unbecoming whining and feeling sorry for myself just because I was a bit hot and slow on yesterday’s hike. Feel fucking great this morning. And I can pee. Didn’t do Y3P yesterday just to be a dick, was my only chance to do it while I am here. Love on you all.

Three days without pissing is normal, yeah?

Thought I was Billy big balls doing Yorkshire Three Peaks after two long hard days at Slam Dunk. But setting off exhausted and dehydrated on the hottest day of the year so far was just stupid. Lovely day, gruelling hike. The body needs water to make energy, without it, I was climbing slowly.

Most 40 year-olds need a rest after one day at Slam Dunk. So my decision to do the Yorkshire Three Peaks after two days at Slam Dunk wasn’t big and clever. It was stupid and arrogant.

There are about 57 places on earth that I can point to on a map with absolute precision. On the average day, MapTap includes three of them. This seems strange to me.

Bonjour de Millevaches.

Morning beautiful people. This old goth is on his way to UK to spend the weekend watching emo (pop-punk and hardcore). TBS, Bayside, Menzingers, Sublime, Knocked Loose, Cartel, Cancer Bats, Dashboard... too many to mention. Hope you all have a magnificent bank holiday weekend. Wear sunscreen!
