Back from holiday feeling very grateful for my family, especially my wife and daughter, and for all the beautiful moments and experiences we are able to share together. On the other hand, baby made me get up at 5am, so it's going to be a long day 😂 Have a fantastic day gang
As someone British it feels necessary to notify everyone it's raining.
Breaking the silence to announce that we've finally booked Spider-Man Brand New Day 🕷️🕸️

Best of luck to the boys, but I can't help but feel these sorts of headlines aren't helpful.
Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber
I had a gaming nightmare I wanted to share. I got to the end of the bizarre level in 007 Last Light and then it bugged when I was confronted by an NPC so I had to restart from a checkpoint... and it took me all the way back to the beginning of the level 🤦🏼 heartbreaking
Come on Google, "cooling expected over the next 3 days" doesn't qualify as an "insight" 🔥🫠
I went on quite the journey home yesterday: 1 bus, three trains and over 4 hours later I made it home safely, a little hot and bothered but none the worse for wear. If there was any proof needed we aren't ready for the climate change that is definitely real and happening...there it is. Stay cool.
Well, after 5 years of donations I've finally reached 50, about 35 litres – apparently the equivalent to filling up a small car(!) Thank you so much to everyone GiveBloodNHS Reading for helping me throughout this journey, and here's to 100. #GivePlasma #GiveBlood
Happy father's day to all the dads out there. Now, if you don't mind, I'm off to bleed a radiator and write a strongly-worded email to the council about parking.
Successfully completed band practice tonight despite it being about 1000°C. Gig in August so keep an eye out if you're in the South East...
@sevenohthree.bsky.social I have no idea why bsky algorithmed me your post but just wanted to say appreciate the bio. Fun, efficient, informative and a perfect closing line 👏 Happy Friday
They really snuck Good Omens 3 out there with very little fanfare. Understandable I suppose but a shame for those still involved. Incredible cast and team.
Not being funny but are there any tickets providers in the UK NOT owned by Ticketmaster at this point?
Lovely weather for my last day at my current job... New, exciting things coming soon. Stay tuned.
Been a while so I thought I'd say hi. How's it going everyone? Found a legendary bird in Pokopia this morning so already feeling very accomplished 😂🤦🏼 What's everyone else playing? (I'm doing more of these sorts of shares on IG these days, feel free to follow – jamesmparry.)
I forgot about the Justin Timberlake meme yesterday which means... You just lost the game.
Excited this morning as I'm doing some training with Hampshire County Council to be ready to start more volunteering with young people in the coming months. Something about giving back in this specific way is so rewarding and so important. Wish me luck.
Another successful blood plasma donation. One more until the big 5-0 😮 Thank you to Maryam, Rob and the Reading GiveBloodNHS team. #GivePlasma
Career announcement time: After just over 5 years I will be leaving Quantexa. A huge thank you to everyone I have worked with and best of luck for the future. More details on what's next to follow.
There's a few pieces left, to get one, tell me your favourite game of all time and why.
It does feel like we're being rewarded with a lot of good quality violent TV right now: Invincible, The Boys, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – the latter I've not yet seen myself. What is it about fictional violence that people seem to resonate with? (Not a criticism BTW)
Couples that rebuild Pokémon Centres together, stay together. IYKYK
Happy Easter everyone. I hope you're having a lovely weekend and whatever this holiday means to you, even if that's not much at all, I wish you the best.
Currently feeling a mixture between: "Hey, it's the last day of the working week!" And "Oh, there's only one more day of the working week left..."
Excited for a first with baby P today – first trip to the dentist. Here's hoping it's a nice chill one... Happy Tuesday all.
I just donated to #comicrelief. Hopefully it helps to cover Amy of you out there who'd love to donate but just aren't in a place right now where you can. For those who are able, consider it. You can make a difference. #befunnyformoney #comicrelief2026
