Just a middle-aged guy, shouting into the void. Struggling with life, the universe and everything. Badly. I used to be Robotbattler on Twitter. Resident of #Wülferhampton. Team #NAFO I'm here to post nonsense and chew gum. Don't DM me if I don't know you

"Idea for a program:
I'm piggybacking off Strictly Come Dancing, here.
Pro-Celebrity synchronised swimming. Hosted by Michael Barrymore and the captain of the Costa Concordia.
