OR come see me dramatically read Edgar Allan Poe’s MOST batshit, most underrated poem. Seriously, you’ve not LIVED until &c &c. It makes The Raven read like a thoroughly restrained tax return. And l’ll be needing a volunteer to play the KING OF GHOULS. Pizza Geeks, 1:20pm Sun 9th and Thurs 13th.

Tomorrow night (Sun 9th!) I’m gonna talk, among other matters, about why Hildegard von Bingen was a boss bitch and why Mary Wollstonecraft’s messiest breakup is my emotional support historical event. Brewdog Hotel, 6:15.

So, BlueSky, one of my passions is the study of tea in WW2. I need you to watch this oral history from three ex-tea ladies from the Bermondsey WVS. Because you could guess for ONE THOUSAND YEARS and you would not guess where it is going... #skystorians #history #tea

Confessional booth moment: I genuinely like Wonderwall. I’ve genuinely always liked it. Should I bring this up in therapy?

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

Loving Juno Dawson’s HMRC trilogy. Anyone else a fan? They’re really fun books. Tearing through them at a rate of knots.

Stand up comedy thoughts: - Lots of nights these days encourage people not to heckle. That’s nice! Love that. - many people are really friendly and supportive and it’s been a delight to meet other aspiring comics. Can you tell I’m about to go “But-“? I’m about to go “But-“.

So I’ve started doing stand-up comedy, following a six week course at @angelcomedy.bsky.social. I have the bug real bad. It’s SO much fun. Last night was my fourth ever gig, and my best one yet, I reckon. I met Alan Francis, who was closing the show, and he said I was “really good” and made my YEAR.

In the Ewe language, an equivalent phrase to “between a rock and a hard place” is hlo madekotoku; kpakpla tse do, makplamakpla ha do. It means “you’ve got yourself a problem if you carry a porcupine in a sack or not.”

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.
A wombat undermined our house to build his burrow.

Nearly $50k in foundation repairs, plus $200 in chicken wire to keep him out.

Now he’s done the same thing to the shed, so $5k to build a new shed on the other side of the property.

Here he is, old Fat Bastard himself..

Edit: it’s wild how many people are suggesting we “get rid” him... Apart from it being very much illegal, the idea would just never even cross my mind. It’s his home too.

He’s now settled in his new burrow, and our house is wombat-proofed. The worst he does now is dig up my potatoes.

I read this last week. It's wonderful. I'm so grateful for it. It's exactly the book I would, if I had a TARDIS, go back to 1996 and give my younger self.

Found out today that the word ‘rebarbative’, meaning repellant/grim etc, is from the Latin for ‘beard’, as in ‘irritating and prickly, like a beard’. OED links it to the idea of confrontationally standing ‘beard-to-beard’. Sorry, beardy friends. (I do not find you rebarbative. I married one of you.)

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Have read too much lore about deep sea fish this week. Learned about some very large creatures. Increasingly coming to the conclusion that the sea is terrifying. I just - we should leave it alone, you know. We should be cautious about the shit that's Dwelling down there.

This is what the other side said. If you're wondering what the product was, it was a small CD player. Mim, how do you feel about the ancient tech you got so you could play the CDs you were bought for your birthday? "Inexpressible newfound joy," I stammer as I am transported back to 1999
My surreal product warranty leaflet, which reads 'HAPPY FOR THIS PURCHASE: If you don't know how to express your newfound joy, we've got a few suggestions. Tell your friends and family. Share your experience.'

Back at the Television Centre tomorrow for a recording of QI. I've had to promise about 20 friends and loved ones that I will take extra care not to fall over the QI set's giant Q again. This is what I will be remembered for when I die. Falling off things.

I learned last month that octopuses have nine brains and I have to say, it's still messing me up. Main dashboard brain and eight minibrains in the arms. Feel like God was out raving the night before that particular bit of the creation process.
