Back on home turf! I interviewed you a few years back when your exhibition opened at Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Any chance of a repeat?

ppl who make the argument that the earth has survived many drastic shifts in climate over the course of its existence are technically correct. our earth is wonderful at healing itself. the bit they live out is that while the earth continues, the majority of species living on it at the time do not

Kudos to HMRC I know. Weird. Phoned up to GIVE THEM MONEY (missing NI years) and they told me not to bother because I’ll hit max in 6 years anyway. Cheers HMRC (your hold music and waiting time still sucks though)

Never any need to apologise. When you're here you're glorious. When you're not here we just assume you're being glorious elsewhere!

I tried that. It raised expectations I was unable to meet. I’ve gone back “Shambolic” after what I’ve decided to call “honest customer feedback”

No, I made the mistake of thinking "I'll just have a couple of glasses of that blackberry wine we forgot about in a demijohn for a decade and which has gone through about 9 fermentations and oh look there's the floor. Hello floor. I love you."

So, let’s say I’m the posterior opening of the digestive tract, through which solid waste, or feces, is excreted. And I am located at the end of the rectum and is surrounded by two sphincter muscles that control the passage of stool. AITAH?

Dire wolves remain very extinct
Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

In fairness you tend to start off all edgy and get to do all the exiting pretty bits early. Then by the time you get close to the end all you’ve got left is the boring bits and then it goes in a box and gets forgotten about so, it’s pretty accurate.

Laser beans!
An image with the text "Because we all need it, here's what happens when a cat touches a plasma ball". Underneath are three images showing a cat's paw on a clear glass ball. Inside the ball, electric current creates a jagged laser line to the cat's paw. The cat looks on, intrigued.

Nero, our resident void, can vanish in a similar fashion on any black fabric or surface. When he moves it's like the xenomorph unravelling itself from the walls in Aliens. If he ever decided to use his power for evil we'd be toast.

Numbers are hard to come by but Great Ormond Street operate on one case a month and two children die a year on average. Total hospitalisations for all ingested objects was 228 in 2022 and represented a significant rise. I couldn't find the current number but now I'll have to because that's my life.

My script at eleven began with "And an unexpected bonus of the move towards cashless payments" It masks the terrifying results of swallowing button cells (which are now more common than coins) but in this aspect it is good news.

It seemed perfectly sensible at the time, apart from the grazed knuckles and splinters and your face 4 inches away from the tarmac. It wasn't even a flat plate roundabout. It was one of the octagonal box ones with the narrow running boards. How I survived the 70's I've no idea.

My sister and I used to play "Dropped it picked it up" where you lay face down on the foot plate and whizz it round as fast as you can then drop a small stick and try to pick it up as it goes past. Borderline suicidal.
