Now I thought there's be someone out there who would have named their commander "Surge Detected"... appears not...

Motivational message of the day! Yep. Everything is my fault... everything is always my fault. I know I'm not perfect (who is?), but I didn't think I was THIS bad!

I've been in this station for THREE DAYS and this guy just won't stop talking to me... I'm sure he's trying to tell me something important but I've got to tell you, I've zoned out hours ago! #EliteDangerous

It must be a little awkward when you bump into your own clone. I mean, what do you even talk about? What's the accepted protocol here? #EliteDangerous

Ok. It seems that lunch didn't quite go as planned. I'm sure it'll be fine though... #EliteDangerous

I wish I could remember where I parked my spaceship...

Before anyone says anything. I had absolutely nothing to do with this. They were lying like that when I got here! Honest! #EliteDangerous

Now... I don't remember leaving my SRV parked like this... Just another average day in the life of an #EliteDangerous commander I guess! ;-)

An Elite Dangerous SRV "parked" up against a vertical wall in a rather precarious position! Oops!

I did a thing today. I'm very tired... (A massive thank you to everyone who joined me on stream / in my wing this week to help! - you're all super cool!) #elitedangerous

Got friends? Want a ship with +3 multi-crew seats? What's the smallest ship... Hmm... I'm not absolutely 100% convinced that the Beluga could be called the "smallest" ship here...

Well this just about sums things up right now...

Nice cone you got there Fella! And I'm glad to see you're wearing the correct safety equipment. Wouldn't want a skimmer to drop a panel on your head.

Well didn't expect to make it into the Top Ten! This is probably my greatest achievement since I managed to remember not to order any more broccoli in the weekly shopping...

I'm just downloading some data. The dead body? I can assure you - it was absolutely nothing to do with me...

You know when you wake up and you're really not sure what you got up to the previous night, but have a sneaking suspicion that you may not have made the best decisions.. #EliteDangerous

Sometimes, you see something that makes you think... "maybe my day, wasn't the worst day you could ever have." #EliteDangerous

Looks like there's an extra hazard in the galaxy... here's a warning to all commanders: remember to use your mouthwash for minty fresh breath... or else!

Well it appears that I've jumped into a new system... time to get the scanner out and see what I can find. With luck there will be some sentient lifeforms... and you never know, maybe they'll be my friend?
