The difference between a Southern train and a Northern train is that when it arrives late at least the train was made in this century not the last one.

Could the US government have, like, half a day or something, of not making the world a far more cruel and stupid place to be?

Buying duty free fags for my brother. It’s been so long since I smoked I don’t recognise the brands any more. He’s getting B&H.

When in a hotel where you cannot immediately guess which language in which to address anyone the Yorkshire nod is very useful.

Holiday in the High Atlas. 127km of walking, over 4000 metres of ascent, lots of weather and a ride over a mountain pass on top of a load of apples. Just how I like relax.

I don't know how to explain it, but orcs aren't real. Obviously, I don't believe in goblins and elves, but I REALLY don't believe in orcs. They're just something that was invented by a famous fantasy writer, like transphobia.

I feel like the disgust and disappointment I felt seeing Andie's prom dress at the end of Pretty in Pink is what helped prepare me for reading the news since 2016.

Rachael Stirling’s reading on BBC Radio Four of her biography of her mother has encouraged me to buy the book, so that definitely worked.

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. Oddbod and Oddbod Jr. from Carry On Screaming 2. The smell of wet plaster 3. School tapioca and/or semolina (the texture was Just Wrong) 4. Nuclear Oblivion 5. Not handing in my homework on time.

I think we can all agree.
Geordi La Forge does not approve of Balaclava. He does approve Baklava.

Pembroke has a post office that also sells toys and wool. This makes me unaccountably happy.

The services on the A40 at Newport are flat out weird. It feels likes a waiting room to an undefined liminal space.

As always there’s a huge list of people whose departure would have improved the world rather than the one whose loss diminishes us.
