Was a bit thrown out when Aled Jones covered for Dan Walker on Classic FM Breakfast early this week. The Tactics Truck really does set me up for the rest of the day.

Another sleepless night filled with regret. I wish I’d joined the steel pan band in Year 6. Maybe life would have turned out so differently

Big Tone, sh.A.A.z City.

Sorry for the lack of activity, I’ve been having real trouble with my Internet lately and Freeserve haven’t been the slightest bit helpful

Chilling with Andy watching the latest David Attenborough.

I can't relate to apes. They're all extroverts.

Cannot get the Palworld theme out of my head. So catchy.

"I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops" implies that Coco Monkey is being consistently fed other cereals against his will.

It’s Friday… and you know what that means! London Weekend Television, baby!

Last time I lend Simon Shippam any of my CD’s. He could have at least had the decency to give Depression Cherry a once over with the lint roller.

To the two new guys that criticised me for taking ages to take my turn at the Great Indoors last night: of course I’m going to have analysis paralysis if all I can think of is your bulging pectorals

Feeling slightly sad this morning. Really missing the Steller's sea cow.

The busyness of the job has meant I’ve had hardly any time for myself lately. This weekend I‘m going to shut the laptop and finally deal with my backlog of Viz magazines.

Weather's turning colder. That can only mean one thing: Brother Gary reminding me that "for all your creature comforts, Heat Electric"

Sigh, can't drop TV show contestants through trap doors any more coz of woke

Turn the handle, swing the boot, suddenly you’re down the shute! Move the hand, the marble drops, the diver flips, we just can’t stop! It’s Chateau Roquefort!

Sigh. Another fruitless weekend spent on Discogs. Giving up hope of ever getting my hands on 7 Skies H3.

Afraid to say I’ve been stationed on the gravel for playtime duty. I never made it there as a child as I was too afraid of being hit by a hard ball. Vietnam style flashbacks incoming

Things are looking up on Day 2 at the new school. Been told I can order whatever I need.

Difficult first day at the new school. My new classroom doesn't have anywhere to plug in my overhead projector.

Highlight of the summer holidays? I really enjoyed my day at the monastery. Just myself, my thoughts and the Book of Tobit.

“Milk bottle tops and paper bags, iron bedsteads, dirty old rags.” What better way to start the school week than a song about fly tipping?

No Andy! Who the hell buys branded milk?!?
