As I got into another unisex toilet to find the toilet seat covered in piss, this seems like as good as time as any to restate my point that it’s a good idea but until men start cleaning up after themselves, we should not subject women to them

It’s been nearly 2 years since I released my last song.
The last 2 years have been pretty rough, but I’m sure my Mum would want me to carry on being an incredibly unpopular musician.
Feel free to help me slightly less unpopular if you fancy it

Martin Scorsese directs a 4 hour version of Mr Tickle
I have enjoyed Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein & Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights & I’m looking forward to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!
But my question is: who is your dream visionary director to adapt a literary (or cinematic) classic?
I think: Wes Anderson’s Evelina-balance, wit, sadness

Medal number 8 in my #12medalsformum challenge. This was a 41 mile bike ride (I did 43.5 after missing a turning). Bearing in mind I’d not ridden a bike in 20 years in January when I signed up for this I’m pretty pleased.

Medal number 7 in my #12medalsformum challenge.
I did the 12km Total Warrior but they didn’t do medals for that distance this year, so we talked the organisers into giving me a junior medal.
It still counts!

I rang my Dad at lunchtime today asking if he fancied a visit from me tonight and he said yes and could I pick up the stuff to make a stir fry for our tea.
I arrived as expected at 6:30pm to find that he’d forgotten I was coming and had already eaten

Lots of very nice “Happy Fathers Day” things for people I know, but nobody is celebrating me for being a responsibility avoiding pisshead and it seems wrong that there isn’t a special day to celebrate people like me as well

I spent some time in the garden this afternoon chopping up branches so I can take them to the tip next weekend and the wife brought me out a Freddo when I’d finished as a thank you.
Now that’s the kind of thing I could get used to!
