Life goals...

Yes, I've just noticed that too. Thanks for the rec!

Do you have a reliable retailer you can recommend? I'm still on the fence about it but if I take the leap, I'll no doubt have to pay too. Like you said, too many hoops...

Them: you’re incredibly stoic

Me: Thanks, I was brought up to believe my personal needs were less important than what strangers think of me

I want to tell you something about my Doctor Who book.

If you open it, you'll find it's dedicated to Katrina.

Katrina was a friend of mine with profound intellectual disability, which came bundled with a whole bunch of physical disabilities.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Sorry to hear that, Nick. Pain that's bordering on 'chronic' is so exhausting. Physically and mentally.

Gosh, is that still ongoing? Commiserations! Yeah, left knee and hip will need replacing soon too. The last 8 years or so have been just one thing after another... <grumbles in crone>

Also, a mere 4 years ahead of me. At the rate at which I'm falling apart (just had hip replacement), it soon won't matter anymore 😆

I agree, not their strongest one. I simply got lucky with the release year.

The Queen of Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms just once a year at night and only for a few hours.

How perfect!!

It's been over a month since my NIN London gig but I *still* think about how amazing it was. Just. So. Good.

Likely my 'Best Gig of 2025'

I agree - there's always next time.
Provided, of course, that we ever manage to be in the same place at the same time again.

Have a blast! Back in the UK by then but already booked up for that weekend, otherwise I'd drop by.

An underlined quote in a book that reads as follows… “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply. – Stephen R. Covey” And I feel it is important to mention here that I was not the one that highlighted this quote (because I’m not a monster). Again, just to reiterate, I, Adam Sharp, do not, now or ever, go around highlighting passages in books like some kind of savage.

Today is World Listening Day so it's a good time to share this again...

Happy birthday Roz!

YouTube video by OfficialNerdCubed £40,000 gone. Why I'm not being paid for my book

I first heard about Unbound via the video of Daniel "Nerdcubed" who was like the top "cash cow" of theirs but was screwed over massively

Rage, rage against the dying of the mic! Look, I have a book I should be writing, but I have so many other words screaming in my head that I need to write them down first. Buckle up, my darlings, because this post is breaking my social media...

Felt incandescently angry, might delete later.

Done! Since I only said to a friend the other day that I could listen to you for hours, this is the obvious thing to do 😉 x

Love that song to bits ever since I first heard it when they were supporting James at Wembley in the early 2000s.
