Standing at a bar having a pint after work. The amount of people who have started to queue behind me is hilarious. The bar is 20ft long and empty apart from me. I haven't corrected a single one.

All the newspapers today. #makeitfair AI companies need to stop using creatives work or pay the creatives a usage fee. They need to stop stealing.

All the people who are either joyous or silent on how Trumps dealing with the war in Ukraine are just wronguns. Claiming other countries have had elections during wars is just wrong. No country is having an election while they are occupied or having bombs dropped on them. Dicks.

Fantastic last night by @CTRLFC It was the performance we needed after the CC. I think we were one competitive friendly short in pre season. Lawler, Simbiken, Rooney and Westy were fantastic. Be good to have Milnes back for the kicking.

Just tried to report our concern over someone's welfare to the police, the local police station is closed on Fridays and 101 said there is nothing they can do. I mean.......What the actual fuck.

Seven hours sat in an auditorium today where the seats had less legroom than a Northern train service. I'm 6ft 5. That shit should be against the Geneva Convention.

Cas top for my birthday and I didn't have a clue. My missus is pretty decent.

So here are my super league predictions.
1. Wigan
2. KR
3. Warrington
4. St Helens
5. Catalans
6. Leigh
7. Salford
8. Leeds
9. Wakefield
10. Castleford
11. FC
12. Huddersfield

Positions 7 to 12 could be in any order depending on sales and injuries. There's definitely a split. @ctrlfc

Jesus. I made one factual comment. Open up twitter at half time and see these replies. The sooner Twitter is banned in this country the better. People have forgotten what truth is or just don't care.

I might not take right wing idiots seriously as let's be honest, they are none threatening. It's like your younger brother getting angry with you, you feel something between pity and shame and just end up laughing.

I'm now being called a pervert for pointing out that someone has edited a video of school children to suit their right wing narrative and it is right the police are looking into it. FFS. I only went on to look at the rugby league journalists posts.

I find myself still logging onto twitter out of habit. The amount of racist right wing nutters from America wanting British people to overthrow our government is ridiculous.

Psychologists should get this Nottingham Forest team together with the Cas Tigers team from 2017. Both teams did/have just, from nowhere, beat the accepted system and that is fascinating. It shows not all team sport is skill based.

Happy new year guys. I personally have given up on social media apart from streaming on Tik Tok which is completely unlike me. I would like to wish you all a great new year and remind you that Elon Musk is a fucking fraud. Love ya, in a bit.

How did you spend your Christmas?

I spent most of the time getting turned on by Fray Bentos curry sauce if I'm honest.

Watching a turn, they have the worst bit of design I've seen in a while.

Gone in a hilariously bad pub in Malvern. All the posters are laminated. Live laugh love sign behind the bar. Guy refusing to leave the fruity. Game of killer happening. Coked up fake gangster in the corner trying to act tough. It's got everything.

Gonna call it now, if the Fury fight goes the distance, he wins. They want a trilogy.

Was meant to be seeing my childhood friend tonight seeing Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. But he got glassed last night outside the pub he owns, and he was the one arrested.

Close to telling the area manager to go fuck themselves. No time for office politics or workplace bullying.

I have finished my first illustration in 3 months today. This is a map of Yellowstone National Park in America. I am going to clean it and add the text next week then I will be uploading the step by step drawing tutorial to my Tik Tok and website. #art
