@jordanmorris.bsky.social @jessethorn.bsky.social For one glorious moment I thought I was about to be treated to an hour of jjgo featuring the 90s ska punk band Goldfinger. Alas.
I’d spent so long calling them amoral pigfuckers not realizing it was literally true.

Flying to London tomorrow to attend the studio record for the next series of Taskmaster. Going to be weird seeing it live after over a decade of isolated (yet still rabid) fandom. See you soon, @alexhorne.bsky.social

We’re in the last day of a family holiday to Porto. It’s been a lovely time. We had great fun, exceptional food, lots of interesting cultural exploration. Kinda wish we hadn’t spent quite as much money though as the kids highlight from the trip was that I let them have the tiniest sip of Super Bock.
