Just had a call from the Old Vic, letting me know that they’re upgrading my ticket for Arcadia because they’re filming it at my performance and shoving a camera where I would have been sitting…

Congratulations to you both!

Find a cheaper (not by much) alternative room for Saturday nearby, book it. All in all, the total extra charges are £200, almost double what I originally paid for the original trip.

Can't say I'm that happy today...

Go to make changes to travel plans to avoid the national strike in Belgium. Don't notice that changing the check-in date also changed the check-out date on the Travelodge website. Lose my Saturday night hotel room at a stupidly-cheap advance rate.

Caught it on a plane last month, and it very much defied expectations (and the blurb). Superb stuff from Tatum.

Managed to pass my Belgian integration test with a nearly perfect score first time, no preparation (they asked me to do it to see where I am before potentially assigning me to an integration course). I suspect I got the question wrong about the role of the King, because who cares?

In Brussels to see @daraobriain.bsky.social deliver a stand up gig. Just like they joked about years ago on Mock the Week.

Of course, those fools didn’t know that the truly chaotic gigs take place in Antwerp… where he’s not visiting this time!

House to Astonish is always worth a listen, but Al and Paul's post-mortem on the Imperial event, post-event line-up, and Marvel marketing and publishing in general is well worth your time to listen.

You didn’t need to say a fucking thing, your voice is irrelevant, don’t piss on someone’s chips, and fuck off.

Beardy cunt… well done, you can look at a profile picture.

Jump in the ocean you prick,

I've started Taskmaster NZ series 6, and it's possible that episode 2 is the single greatest episode of any Taskmaster series ever. The incredible start of the teams, and the astonishing and hilarious cake task...

I want a filter that hides any reference to TaskMaster, which I find execrable, puerile and generally fucking awful.
This is not aimed at you, or any TaskMaster aficionado - I don't want to ban it or in any way deprive you of your enjoyment, I will just enjoy life more, never seeing any reference

A very happy ‘go fuck yourself’ day to this total fucking stranger.

Kindly fuck off then. Thank you for popping into my two little messages of joy and appreciation to bemoan how much you fucking hate it.
Next time you get this instinct, walk the fuck away, cunt.

It’s quite some fucking cheek to have a Vertigo Humble Bundle and put Ray Fawkes’ New 52 Constantine series in it…

Really enjoying vibing with this series as well - I’ve had issues with every series since the incredible 2nd series, and it’s so nice to be throughly enjoying what is shaping up to be an incredible series.

Always worth lamenting the loss of two proposed titles - Snapper Jones, Professional Sidekick, and Alfred Jarvis: Giant-Size Man-Servant…

It’s 2036 and I’m still confusing friends by singing the lyrics to Martin Manhunter to Hall and Oates…

Ok, I’ve definitely passed a threshold with Dropout. Recognised Raphael Chestang in today’s The Pitt before he even got a face shot, just on his voice alone.

Oooh, that’s proper good news coming from Manchester this morning. I’m so used to the resigned, expectant-of-doom social media check in the morning.

Spent some of time waiting for the early access to Midnight customising the outside of my house in World of Warcraft. Might have channelled something from another fandom here...

Sitting down with Scrubs, and I’m not even five minutes in and it’s just so familiar. Barely a beat skipped. Damn, it’s so nice to be watching this.

Ah, I was wondering if it was number 1 or another number. Not you, of course. You are not a number.

The artifacts include... an order of service for Superman's funeral, Superman's death certificate, a black armband, postage stamp stickers, a prototype trading card, Superman's Daily Planet obituary, a large Death and Funeral poster, and the Newstime Death issue.

It's the regular edition, the tombstone is just cosmetic (and won't fit on any shelf!).

It's not just the door, it's the entire surround as well, to bring the doors up to fire code. It's nice to be safe, but they're literally doing carpentry in the hall and I just want to skip ahead to it being done and them being gone.
