Yes. And if you produced an updated reprint of 'Thin He Was & Filthy Haired' I'd totally buy that too!

The cover of my book of Red Dwarf memories, The Man in the Rubber Mask

If I was to produce an updated reprint of 'The Man in the Rubber Mask,' and sell signed copies of it through my upcoming modern online bookshop, would anyone buy it?
That's the big question. For me.

Happy 'Former Freemason, 51, found drunk and naked inside a huge pipe organ with a toy gun and remote-controlled police car says he got lost while trying to hand out cheeseburgers to the homeless' Day to those who celebrate.

And, before you ask, I'm 49.

I mixed some pistachio spread in with melted dark chocolate. It didn't last long....

"But surely your legs don't hurt ALL the time?"
Yes. They do. All. The. Time.
"Everyone feels tired at our age."
I wake up and it hurts to force myself out of bed, I can fall asleep at any point during the day.
"But COVID affects your lungs."
Oh shut up and go away.

STOP THE STUPID IN-GAME ADVERTS!!! EVERYONE HATES THEM. #ITV #sixnations #englandwales

The in-game adverts for the #ITV coverage of the #sixnations is the stupidest and most irritating decision they've ever made. Stop it this instant.

This is still not given as much coverage in the UK but is a stark warning of what the spineless cockwombles in #Reform will try here. Pay attention.

The stunning Orion Nebula (M42) is the middle of the "sword" and you can see it as a faint splat with the naked eye. This is 7hrs 24m of data to really bring out the detail. #astrophotography

James's fundraiser for Level Water Help James Eaton raise money to support Level Water

Thanks to #longcovid I am now disabled (3yrs & counting) so trying to raise money for disability charities is very important to me. Please support my cold water swim campaign - www.justgiving.com/page/james-e...
Swimming is the only form of exercise I can do now. #longcovid is rubbish

The biggest question is surely this:
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it's all about?

And I've got my late Dad's work cricket trophy from 1983. It's got a statue of a man on it if #trump is worried it might be of inferior quality. And he can always inscribe his name before my Dad's if he is worried people might think he didn't play in the tournament. Prick. #nobel #fucktrump

Despite the ice, water at 2.9Β°c, and the everlasting "joys" of #longcovid, I managed to swim this morning!

It seems that the 5ive medley on #strictly is proof that all their songs involve getting up, getting down, or getting funky.

Shaddongate. Driving through Carlisle in heavy traffic and we sat for 20mins behind a truck that was partially obscuring a sign that said "Shaddonga". So when it moved and revealed the hidden letters I cried out "Aha! ShaddOngatay!" Friends corrected me. Boo.

Only a little left to go before I reach my fundraising target - www.justgiving.com/page/james-e...
Swimming is the only exercise I can really do with #longcovid as the support from the water means my legs can move a bit more easily. Stupid #longcovid
