By the way, the fact that all three of these shows are on at the same time makes this my favourite time of the year.

I was confused when she asked me to stay close to him for a while - but as soon as she explained I was all in.

Felt like the weirdest car chase - kept seeing him trying to change his songs, and he apparently cleared his queue three times.

Delicious.

Shoutout to my daughter, who realised on a car journey that she’d accidentally connected to the Spotify jam of the BMW in front of us, and proceeded to queue up Witch Doctor by Cartoons on repeat for 15 miles.

And yes, I stayed close to him so he couldn’t change it.

Sorry not sorry, James.

Mine are Canadian eye geese, so are actually pretty nice and polite overall.

Snooze buttons are pointless.

Just set the alarm for when you need to get up and get up then.

Genuinely thought this was just a picture of those little floating things I sometimes see in my eyes.

Too much to remember! It's started relationships, given me holidays, introduced me to many of my closest friends, got me jobs, on telly, given me support when I've needed it the most, helped me with gifts for my kids, helped get me through lockdown, taught me so much, and generally been a laugh.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Yeah, that's an aggressive start time even if the music is lovely.

Once a year you should be allowed to look around your neighbour's house.

Just, you know, to see what it's like, how they've arranged things differently to you, and what the hell they've put next to your wall that's so bloody loud ALL THE TIME.

The day I realised that nobody cares how many unread emails I have, and that it won't change a single thing in my world, THAT was a freeing day.

Has anyone actually seen Alan Carr and Linda in the same room at the same time…?

I'm less than two weeks from soft launching my business and realised today that I need to make a simple but fundamental change to over 2000 activities, and all of the algorithms that they feed.

Damnit.

Ha! That test has been done a million times over and the milk-first approach ALWAYS comes out as correct.

And no, I haven't got sources to hand at this very moment...

(And thanks! It'll be scary putting something out there and seeing if people find it useful! Exciting, though.)

I've been working on a new business idea for a couple of months and been given a potential deadline by a friend to be ready for launch.

Deadlines are wonderfully focusing for the mind, aren't they?!

(Might need some beta testers soon if any of you are up for it...?)

Genuine question - has Stephen Graham ever been shit in anything? Or even in anything that was shit?

If you don’t get an irrational fear when a police car is driving near you, despite knowing that you’ve done nothing wrong, then you are a more stable human than I am.

It’s one thing to be evolving structures when you’re in a hyper-growth phase, but when you’ve basically been the same size company for three years it should all settle down a little.

How long can a company claim -without it growing - that it’s still “evolving structures”?

Just seen it mentioned for a company I left several years ago - sooner or later they’ve just got to accept that they’ve got deep structural issues to sort out.
