Needed a distraction to stop me sleeping after 5 overnights. So Steve Coogan’s film about Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy having a fight is apparently the one!

I’m someone who loves a delicious lunch. I’ve just realised that the biggest financial impact of going freelance might not be the loss of a steady income stream but my inability to just have a fucking cheese sandwich…

And there we go, last GMB all done! Says something about the sound crew that I never went to work thinking there’d be a bellend in the room or on the floor, and if there was, it was me. We had some supervision on our last couple of days but we managed to concentrate…

My last This Morning is done (probably ever, they’re not realistically gonna need me as a freelancer!) Only three more Good Morning Britains to go and freedom/poverty awaits!

This weekend’s been much needed. Before this I had one day off in nineteen (if this happens when I go freelance I’ll be delighted…)
And this has been a couple of days of good sleep, good tv and films with the family, good food, good walks, and new fish tank plans.
Christ, I’m boring!

I exercise purely for food/drink purposes. 3 miles with the dog, 10 miles on the bike. All ‘buying’ the fuck-off meal I’m going to have later… #fatandfit

Went to an award-winning comedy show/wine tasting tonight and fuck me, people wonder why Peterborough is a cultural wasteland. Just the most disrespectful audience I’ve ever been in. Luckily they were good enough that it was still a great show.

Some people hate it when you interrupt their ill founded narrative...with critical thinking. That's exactly why we have to continue doing so. Propaganda hates meeting critical thinking.

Kell just pulled this out of the garage! Had to take it out of its frame because it was old and shit. Probably missed my chance to sell it, have to wait until one of them dies now!

The biggest cultural event this year is the Oasis comeback and next year will be the new Grand Theft Auto game, because it’s the fucking Nineties again and there’s nothing anyone can do about it!
