Snr Global Brand Strategist @ the LEGO Group (opinions own, etc). Mainly working on LEGO Games, Ninjago, and Technic. It's fun. Occasional sender of fivethingsonfriday.com. I got ❤️ for writing, gaming, and figuring stuff out. He/Him.

One month later, after several terrible exchanges with the "customer service" team at The Magnum Company, the Mrs decided to do something about it. This morning she was on BBC Breakfast doing just that. 6m people now know about how dangerous this is. And I'm so proud 🥲 ❤️

Well, the Mrs having one of the worst allergic reactions I've seen in a good couple of years is at least one way to find out Walls have just gone and added milk to their Twister ice creams. Way to go, dickheads. www.anaphylaxis.org.uk/product-aler...

Two new LEGO Technic sets are out this weekend: The Dodge Viper GTS-R and the 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista, and I'm proud as punch to say that we've been working with the Forza Horizon 6 team to gift ALL players these unique LEGO-inspired liveries to use in-game 🥰 🥰 🥰 (should be in your messages now)

Organised a ridiculous surprise champagne tasting for the Mrs. It's been a rough few weeks, what with bad allergy responses and hospital visits etc so this evening happening AT ALL was a minor miracle. But we did it, Joe.

If you’re thinking about getting the X-Files Lego set, if you get a Lego Insider account then the set is available on their website early (ie today), and while stocks last you also get Scully’s lab as a free gift 🚀 JUST. SAYING.

How do you say: 'Sorry, I won't meet you at Gamescom because the last time I saw you there I had to literally rescue a colleague from your lecherous come ons' Yes, I fully appreciate that I can actually say that (and I'm tempted) but I don't want to put the woman in question in his firing line.

I've confirmed that the UK's new Sovereign AI Fund does no due diligence on whether AI companies use copyrighted work without permission before investing in them. It took me 3 Freedom of Information requests to find this out: 🧵 1/10

The Mrs has suddenly got into Fortnite. Like, 'gone in the cupboard, found my old PS4 and set up her own little gaming corner in the living room' levels of got into Fortnite. Honestly I respect it.

To be clear, we ALL know ONSLAUGHT is coming right? Like, we ALL spend EVERY EPISODE looking at the signs. EVERYONE KNOWS he is hiding on every corner right? Polaris this, Magneto that. We're going to start an episode and Juggernaut will be on his ass.. ONSLAUGHT IS COMING. (S3 NAILED ON)

I was going to add '🔜 Gamescom' to my Bluesky profile but apparently I can't do that because I'm verified. Oh well. This will have to suffice: I WILL BE AT GAMESCOM. Done x
