The double episode premiere of The War Between the Land and the Sea was a fishy festive treat! Great to see U.N.I.T. in a Torchwood-inspired spin-off series! I'm trying and failing not to crush on the fish lady, Salt! #DoctorWho

Annuals were always wished for at Christmas! From 2000 AD to Star Wars, I would read these cherished tomes from cover to cover.

Due to AI, Crucial is exiting the consumer space after 30 years! The brand has been my goto for RAM since my first Macintosh in 1995.

40 years ago, Little Computer People (LCP) from Activision made their way into our 8-bit lives for Christmas 1985! David Crane's social simulation video game is cited as a precursor to The Sims. Alas, my LCP died, leaving an empty House-on-a-Disk.

20 years ago, Microsoft launched the Xbox 360! A few years later, I won an Xbox 360 S in a LOVEFiLM competition. It quickly became my favourite console of the generation, and I discovered the Mass Effect trilogy. #Xbox

In my teens, I had the biggest crush on Winona Ryder! No spoilers, but the first four episodes of Stranger Things 5 are amazing! I couldn’t love this series more… #StrangerThings #Netflix

I didn’t have a Labour government hollowing out Motability on my bingo card for 2025! But here we are.

Since joining the Motability scheme in 1989, it has been invaluable in improving my quality of life. I’ve been featured in magazines and quoted on marketing material at car dealerships across the UK. The recent mainstream media coverage surrounding so-called ‘free cars’ has created a moral panic!

It's Doctor Who Day! My timey-wimey adventure began with watching the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) with my dad! A year ago, he had a pacemaker fitted. The device features remote monitoring and has enhanced his quality of life thanks to the NHS. That's worth celebrating. 🌈💙💙 #DoctorWho
