Bluesky dad. Bedroom escapologist. I write words about vans. But not on here.

I was on 'Bruce's Price is Right'

Oh, and 'World in Action'

(You may need to ask your parents...)
I was on the Jeremy Kyle pilot show. (Audience TYVM). It was called "Jezza" originally.

For some reason we've got that knitting programme on and, fuck me there's some odd ones on there and I'm not talking about the knitting.

Also, I will never, ever watch it again.

There's been a dead pigeon on my garage roof for a week. No sign of the body being scooped up by a passing scavenger.

Wish they'd hurry up, I don't do dead animals, it'll still be there next summer at this rate.

Bought an LG OLED telly from John Lewis 18 months ago. It's got a very intermittent but annoying fault. A Google has uncovered others who have had a similar fault that engineers were unable to identify and fix.

I've reported it, and an engineer will come and look at it.

Not holding my breath.

Been to Leeds. Got a few bits. Came home. Had lunch. Now heading towards a nap.

This is the content you're here for, isn't it?

What I like about Australians is the fact that they don't believe in conversational foreplay.

I've not heard from my friend Brooke for years - woke up to this missive...

Ey up, chums.

How's your Saturday night going? Exciting? Chilled? Pissed?
November 15, 2025 at 9:08 PM
I've been cooking again...

Anyone into F1? I've read a few books and some disappoint but, I'm currently reading the new one by @tedkravitz.bsky.social - it's very good, would recommend.

The 5yo wanted to give me a tattoo...

Morning pals. Well, that was a shit night.

Dodgy shoulder kept me awake for ages, then, at 4:40, the 5yo on a sleepover decided to vacate his bed in favour of ours. Think I dropped off for a bit but then got out of bed at 5:45 because I didn't want my airport run alarm to wake him.

Knackered now.

Another 6:00 airport run tomorrow. 😩

This is the penalty of having 3 of my 4 kids living in our village, and the airport being only 20 minutes away.

Got a bit choked up earlier after thinking more about that funeral song.

Not the prospect of me shuffling off particularly, just the thought of leaving people I love. 😢

The 5yo arrived for a sleepover a little while ago.

First thing the little turd did was grab the TV remote and, despite the fact that I was watching House of Games, put Netflix on and navigated to an episode of Grizzy Bear.

Nobody gets in the way of my daily dose of Osman. 😡

LOOK WHAT I DID

I've never given the subject any thought but, I want this played at my funeral. Such a beautiful song.
How do I tell family this without them thinking I'm being morbid, getting upset or, them not taking me seriously?

Expecting a big payout from a client today so, obviously I'm refreshing my banking app approximately every 7 minutes...

Good evening lovely chums (OK yeah, and you I suppose).

It would appear that I have absolutely no plans or commitments whatsoever for tomorrow's home alone Friday and I would appreciate suggestions as to how I can occupy myself.

Thank you xx

Normally have my tea at about 6:15.

Couldn't wait tonight and had it at 5:00.

Will no doubt be having a second tea later.

I have some disappointing news.

The characters Seaman Stains, Roger the Cabin Boy and Master Bates never appeared in Captain Pugwash. Complete urban myths.

I'm gutted.

Did the same 10 minute walk as Monday and didn't fall over.

I think I need a shower and it's not Sunday yet...

The kids have messaged telling us to block out some dates in our diaries, and to book parking at Manchester Airport.

I think this may be our Christmas present. They've done it before.

I wonder where we're going? 🤔

Anyone want a knee update? I know you've all been afraid to ask due to the overwhelming silence...
