Never entirely sure what to write here. I guess professional git sums me up. Likes annoying Tory politicians. As this place has become very popular: my opinions and utter drivel are my own and not connected to my employer

Watching the Netflix adaptation of Steinbeck’s East of Eden and can’t get it out of my head that they have cast Mo Salah as Adam

One thing that the nations of the United Kingdom all have in common, whether you are English, Welsh, Scottish or northern Irish, is we are the worst tourists. Globally despised and for a reason

My wife, who by her own admission isn’t the biggest football fan, just commented that Lee Pickford isn’t playing for England this evening. I just nodded and confirmed she is correct

They say that there can only be one good England team at a time out of football, rugby and cricket. Given how the football and cricket teams are playing, England rugby must be amazing #EngVDrc

My wife has signed up to ancestry to research her family tree. She’s added my parents and grandparents too. I’ve just found out my grandfather was a manc. There are family scandals and then there is this

Reasons I couldn’t be an astronaut (apart from being overweight, stupid and lazy) I could barely take the stress from my sofa let alone being sat in a box doing 24,000mph. You guys are amazing! #artemis2

I bought some grass seed to redo my my very small lawn. I bought it online but forgot to check how much I actually need. Are there any football fields that need their entire pitch reseeded?

The BBC snowboarding Winter Olympics commentators are making this unwatchable. Please remember the vast majority of the audience have no idea what a 17500 flipflop wicky wacky woo with a reverse Dog Star is. Maybe, just maybe explain what the hell you are in about?

I still maintain the Winter Olympics should have the same events as the summer games but on ice and snow. Ice tennis and the 100m running down a ski slope would be hilarious

My 10yo daughter told us tonight that “67 was brainrotted the last minute of 25”. We asked her to explain what the hell this meant and she cleared it up with “sharky is 67 is brainrotted. What don’t you understand?”

I think this shows the level of attention I am paying but I’ve only just realised the on field adverts are just computer graphics and aren’t printing into the field. #ashes2025 #thecricket

I saw Rose Ayling-Ellis on my train. There was an announcement that the train was delayed. Thought I'd be a good citizen and write the message down and passed it to her. It wasn't her. It was a very confused non deaf woman.

Personally I think they should’ve made that a 4 hour show with more heavily scripted banter between the guests. The ice hockey bloke should’ve drawn all the balls too. #worldcupdraw
