Hold Steady tickets on pre-sale tomorrow. Let’s see if I’m in a reasonable state to see them in March.

My tenure as Newcastle Utd manager was a short-lived and volatile period in the club’s history.

Parenthood is mostly buying a little treat, like a Viennetta, and then having to buy another one because your kids ate it all before you could have a bit. In other news, I've just bought another Viennetta.

Yeah, I'm one of the people waiting for a new heart, so this report is a bit scary. My family know that if I don't make it, the doctors can help themselves to whatever's left that's not broken. You can record it on the NHS app. Go to Profile > Health choices > Organ donation decision. Thanks.

Once again hate-watching ‘Jurassic Park: The Lost World’ where supposedly very smart people do incredibly stupid things.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only truly great Indiana Jones film.

Christ. There’s been so many ads on Amazon before the film starts I’ve forgotten what I’ve put on.

I mean… that Adam & The Ants video is just brilliant isn’t it? I remember my youngest saw it a few weeks ago on another show and was just “what the hell is this?” #totp

When I was 12 I joined the school chess team and I was rubbish. Lost every game I played. Yesterday I decided to learn to play chess properly and, for the first time, I just beat an actual human being at it online! I even knew what to do with the little horsey. I just wanted to tell someone.

Glad I made the decision to have a great time watching Raiders of the Lost Ark at the cinema tonight rather than the unspeakable horror of Newcastle Utd.

Taking the 17 year old to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark at the cinema tonight. He claims to have never seen it, though I’ve watched it loads of times since he was born. I feel I’ve failed as a father.
