It is a joy and a privilege to get to be part of Knightmare Live - I loved this show so much as a kid. Thank you Leicester.

Brilliant hat content has to be forwarded to @ceri.io and @ayushn21.bsky.social

Also go see the shows if you can.

You know that completely normal problem of your false eyelashes getting tangled in your goblin mask? Just standard Friday night problems.

No bigger Emperors new clothes feeling than selling tickets for a work in progress - please promise me you can all SEE the show, and that it is the best show you have ever seen.

And also that you like my hat.

I never thought I would see an adult namedrop their Media Studies A level twice in a business context. I love and hate #theapprentice in equal measure.

So you’re finally going to recognise our relationship publicly? By putting me on the cover of your new record?
Buddy; yep.

Timehop really serving up my best moments. 4 years ago, a quiet night out in Clapham with @jennyfromthequiz.bsky.social ended like this. Power sliding down a hill on my knees outside McDonald’s and dragging a rescuing drag queen with me. Normal.

Hahah that is what I remember from when I used to go when I lived back in Cardiff but I was - as now - here for the beer

Well I say quickly, but I understand we have many many hours ahead of us for me to learn.

Find yourself a t shirt that can be horrible in two ways. Front AND back.

My connection at Tamworth to Derby was at 7.07, so I could get Derby to Sheffield at 8pm. And the train I have been hoping to get, the 7.19… has not arrived yet πŸ˜‚

They did secret third option and just terminated the whole train.

Very sadly it is not to be. 7 minutes delay so far, heating broken in my carriage, powerful value for money as always πŸ˜‚

On 24 June 2018, Γ–pik was elected as the chairman of the self-

Asgardia, also known as the Space Kingdom of Asgardia and Asgardia the Space Nation, is a
"virtual nation" formed by a group of people who have launched a satellite into Earth orbit. 4 They refer to themselves as "Asgardians" and they have given their satellite the name "Asgardia-1". They have declared sovereignty over the space occupied by and contained within Asgardia-1. The Asgardians have adopted a constitution!51 and they intend to access outer space free of the control of existing nations and establish a permanent settlement on the Moon by 2043.

Out of nowhere, I was struck by the question, β€˜Lembit Γ–pik… what was his fucking deal again?’ And was rewarded beyond my wildest dreams.

I have booked my train tickets with Uber for the first time ever (obviously there was a deal) and my distrust of them is on par with if I had bought them from a goblin under a bridge using magic beans.

Someone just knocked the train toilet door and said β€˜housekeeping!’ in a high voice and the person on the toilet howled with laughter. I just did a comedy night and it was funnier than anything I saw there.

I have been drinking the recommended amount of water for 24 whole hours now and I have experienced no miracle health benefits and I cannot stop weeing. I have concluded hydration is a scam

'Keep seeing these 'is it STILL January' tweets but all you've got to do is live with a crushing sense of life's brevity and your time running out to leave even a faint mark on the world and, I tell you what, Jan files by just like the rest of them.'

I stand by this, from a previous winter. If you feel January is going to drag, set yourself a tough project with a Jan 31 deadline and watch that fucker RACE away from you. Also works with any other month and with the whole of life. (Thanks to @vixleyton.bsky.social for the image.)
