It is, once again, time for The Wrestling at Radstock's Historic Whisty Hall. You have to admire this promotion's commitment to my favourite genre of wrestler, The Big Fat Lad.

Beyond awkward. Look how the Labour candidate in Holborn and St. Pancras responded when Palestine was mentioned. 😱😱😱😱

Zionism is racism was not written by self righteous, white, lefties It was written by Palestinians in consultation with Palestinian and Jewish groups, Party officials, solicitors and many other over more than a year. I think Palestinian voices should be part of the debate youtu.be/6IQoRYEB-MA?...

First proper #BoardGame night in ages, and I won a tight, tricky game of Arcs. First game where it felt like everyone in the group truly had the game down and we were just playing. Didn't get home till after 1am so now I feel about 100000 years old

I got back into professional wrestling about 10 years ago, so it's about time I continued my regression to my teenage self. So, Warhammer it is.

Sometimes being a Town Councillor is a thankless task, but SOMETIMES you get emailed a 4-page report about how the council leases the photocopier, and that's where local democracy really comes alive.

Went on a camping trip to the South coast, and hit up every board game shop I could Google on the way home until I found a hard-to-find item for my kid's coming birthday. This is the work Nerd Dads do.

I watched this hoping for gossip on Your Party and sectarian beef. But it was much better than that. It was two politicians who care deeply, discussing real issues. This is how the left moves forward.

Took my nearly-12-year-old to the lovely Fantasy bookshop near my mum's. After much deliberation they selected a Solo RPG/choose -your-own-adventure Horror Alice in Wonderland book. Truly I have spawned a delightfully weird nerd.

Beautful week camping on Exmoor. But most importantly, what #BoardGames did I play? Lots of Love Letter, successfully taught both kids Coup and Fugitive. Got through two Exit games I picked up in the charity shop the day before we left. A decent outing.

It is ONCE AGAIN time for The Wrestling at Radstock's famous and historic Whisty Hall, featuring a BIGGER ring! I reckon you could suplex someone and not have their legs hit the opposite ropes in this.

Just noticed that this music toy in the local playground has eschewed such quotidian approaches as C Major, or a diatonic scale, in favour of B Locrian. Bold, jazzy, crunchy.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two friends are playing cards. There is a birdcage hanging behind them, just peaking out of frame. Friend 1 asks, “does your bird talk?” To which friend 2 replies, “Please… don’t.” Panel 2: friend 2 continues, head in hand, “he’s on this alpha male influencer thing right now.” Behind him, the bird - posed and wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket - is leaning forward on a tiny easy chair in his enclosure. Panel 3: with his hands clasped, easing back into his chair, the bird says, “stops eating seeds. Focus on your net worth.”

Went to the circus. I only took one photo, but when you see a guy riding a unicycle on a tightrope it's rude not to. Great show. If John Lawson's Circus come by your neck of the woods, it's a good time guaranteed!

Super excited to go see the little circus that comes through here every year. They're bringing back the Kyrgyzstani acrobats they had last year, and they're proper good, old school stuff. Backflips off a see-saw onto somebody's shoulders, that kind of thing, like you'd only see in a cartoon.

I was watching some videos to learn a new board game, and THREE different video makers pronounced the same word ("cache") wrong the same way and I had to look up the pronunciation to check I wasn't losing my mind.

My neighbours have two cats that are allowed to roam around during the day. One of them comes in my house a lot, it's fine, she's pretty chill. But they spend a lot of time of an evening calling her in, and I don't get it. If you have an Outside Cat, aren't they Outside whenever they want?
