In the last 15-years or so, I’ve consumed approx two million KJ of Warburtons teacakes. A pack of four literally every weekend. Now they have changed the packaging - but also the recipe - I think I’m done 😞

I’m the father of two young adults, why is my house still like a toddler’s after play?
So, apparently if I’m not cringing at how much I’m talking about my books I’m not talking about them enough, so here goes… I’ve got two creative non-fics out. #pressonbook via Butterfly Effect and From Shrug To The Moon on the Amazons. See alt text for more details

I always thought the Beatles biopics were a bad idea. This image only seems to confirm that.
We are now further from the release of Chinese Democracy than Chinese Democracy was from UYI I&II
My favourite mash-up of all time maybe. The long guitar intro is somehow even more caustic than Young’s Cortez… (especially the one note segment) and the bleed into McCartney’s SLS is crushing… youtu.be/iJU_qjdShgc

All those mega loud gigs in the 90s and it’s a cheap two hour flight to Portugal that has finally fucked my ears

I would pay actual money to see a journalist interview Count Binface and just say “But Bin, what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
