Writer. Scripts, but before that journalism. Still stumbles across a story every now and then. Makes swords, fixes robots, likes cats. Even better in person. I have ADHD and who knows what else. He/Him.

What idiot called it a phalanx and not polyarmoury

My mum had a divorce party and then it became an annual thing which itself caused a couple of people to re-think if they wanted to stay married.

I keep meaning to play with the CNC more. I want to make some signet rings that do clever things.

A tuxedo cat crouched awkwardly on the toilet seat in a bathroom, glaring slightly into the camera. It’s not clear from the photo but he is in fact doing a wee into the toilet like a person

Proud and also amused to announce my small cat son Steve has… toilet trained himself? (Yes, he did use it properly)

Yes. This is exactly my jam. You want to laser cut this for maximum lazy. Or at least that's what I'd do.

If people _want_ to talk about Die Hard, we should talk about how the first 20 minutes are a family drama (complimentary).

It's Holly and John failing to communicate again and again and it does not get the respect it is due. The action in the film hits harder because of this humanity.

I had to re-read this three times to check it wasn't gay code.

Also, we watched the first bit of #StrangerThings last night - and, yeah - it's fun. It'll do.

But.

At one point in the show, set in '87, a character refers to another as a "sorcerer" because their powers are innate.

Sorcerers didn't show up till 3rd ed in 2000, not as innate casters.

Some packets of crisps on a shelf. The middle pack has a misprint that resembles when a person's face is obscured on a news program.

I don't want to humblebag but I reckon it would take only one ghost visiting me on Christmas Eve to make me change my ways.

Definitive proof here that Father Christmas is real and goes to Brixton to get his suit repaired.

I've got Father Christmas coming over for his annual suit repair and adjustment. This year we are going to film it.

I'm posting this now so you can have a few fun days not believing me. Ho-ho-ho.

I was simultaneously a giant dork but I was pretty cool in my early 20’s, I went to gigs and did insanely cool things like tour with comedians and do stand up

Hypothesis: It's not cool to think you are cool but it is cool to think you were cool.

Show me pictures of when you were cool! What in hindsight was cool about that moment? #cool

If anything you say can and will be taken in evidence, do they have to give you a copy?

What I'm saying is if you get arrested, can you use the arrest as a free dictation session? What if I only talk about PokΓ©mon? Maybe freeform some PokΓ©songs? Will they type up the lyrics for me?

Every version of this story is some version of β€˜well you couldn’t expect me to be able to afford to buy the house I currently own’ and yes that is the point welcome to the housing crisis.

And crucially, there is nothing else that tractor could be doing today. Interesting that.

Yes, I've been a big fan of 'get extremely cross' for a few years now, but I'm experimenting with some new approaches.

I have this new thing. When I read sad news I can do nothing about. I do, a squat or a push up or some muscle strength thing. Just one.

We are still in early testing (Day 3) and it seems to help?
