My girlfriend: Should we take a normal photo to announce your book? Me: Yeh.

Remembering when I bumped into my postman at the gym as he finished up a set on the treadmill. Trying to be clever I asked him - “Don’t you do enough walking work?” And without missing a beat he said - “Working from home today.” What a legend.

Visited a friend over the weekend and didn’t realise there was a pride event on. Fortunately I was already dressed for the occasion.

Some cakes I’ve baked over the last few months. I’m getting better.

Remembering the time I got mugged and when asked to describe the guy by the police I responded - “He was fuck ugly.” Purely so that if he was ever caught, the police would have to tell him.

My friend got me a gift for Christmas. Told me every king needs a portrait.

Confession - There’s a setting on YouTube that lets you upload two different thumbnails to see which people click on more. Rather than change the image I’ve just been uploading two copies of the same thumbnail but one has a spelling mistake.

Was out for a drink tonight, bumped into a girl and asked what she did for a living. She said she worked for the police and I said - don’t stand so close to me. She walked off. Fuck my life.

Randomly watched the live action Lilo and Stitch movie recently and couldn’t quite describe why it felt so, off. Until I realised, it’s the live action movie equivalent of those “Mario in Unreal Engine” videos. A soulless facsimile designed to look like something you recognise. Not feel like it.

She didn’t decided to hyphenate.

Was out for a drink with a friend tonight and a fan recognised me. I aged 2 decades when they said - “I recognised you from my childhood.”

Confession - A friend of mine lives near a place called Swallow Wood Lane and he refuses to let me take a photo when we drive past so that I can prove my last name isn’t that bad.

Fun fact - When Fact Fiend initially took off almost ten years ago I was literally living on my friend’s sofa. The first thing I bought was a duvet and a can of white monster.

I’m not saying I’m stubborn but I did once walk up a mountain in skinny jeans to get to a pub on the other side.

Out for a drink with a friend and they gave me a gift I will treasure forever.

I was the best man for a destination wedding in Italy recently and asked the photographer if there was a place I could post up like a mafia boss.

My dad is on safari in Africa right now and before he went I gave him one of my old recording cameras. This is literally the only photo he’s sent so far.

Travelling and my friend told me to make my case stand out so I could find it at the carousel. Something subtle like a ribbon. He was not impressed when I turned up with a giant fuck off K on it.

Remembering when I went to Japan and visited the statue dedicated to good boys and performed the illegal manoeuvre.

It was my mums 59th birthday last weekend. She did not appreciate the present I got for her.

My friend is a train driver and told me that he’s lost count of the amount of birds he’s hit while at work. For his birthday recently I got him a guide to spotting British birds and a red pen.

Conversation I just had with my bank. Me: Hi, I got message about potential fraud on my account. Them: Looks like someone changed passwords and then made a large Amazon order. Me: Yeah, I got a new phone and bought my mum a birthday present. Them: It was quite a large order. Me: I love my mum.
