He loves it really.
I hope your 2026 is glorious and full of wonder. Long may there be joy in your heart, a glint in your eyes and fire in your belly.
I want my 2026 to be the year of the real.
In essence, fuck AI and all who ride in on it.
Give me physical media, give me the joy of shared human experiences.
Moving forward into 2026 and I'm going to try and continue a march away from the algorithm. I deleted Twitter years ago, Threads is in the bin and I'm half considering chucking Facebook as well. What started years ago and a wonderful way of communicating now seems blighted by distraction.
Pro wrestling.
I didn't watch much new wrestling in 2025 despite WWE being on Netflix now. It's mostly been older stuff from the 90's and a whole lot of Japanese matches.
I'm certainly enjoying putting match recommendations up on WhatsApp for a small group of fellow grap fans.
Which brings me to Whoverville back in August. I'm consistently in awe of the fact that this TV show about a blue box has put me in contact with some of the wittiest, friendliest and charming people I know.
If I met you in Derby then I thank you for being a friendly soul.
I often get moments when I get the thought that I'm not 'qualified' to do The Polis Box. I don't have a huge knowledge of the inner workings of the show, I just enjoy it as a mad time travel adventure.
Such intrusive thinking soon disappears once we get into full flow however and I love it so.
Doing @thepolisbox.bsky.social has always been and remains to be one of the best things I'm involved with. Those fortnightly broadcasts with Lee and Dave as we merrily rip into Doctor Who always brings a smile to my face. If you've got in touch with the show or been on as a guest then I thank you.
The rewrite process of making it look like I meant it all along is underway. Writing has always been the 'thing I do on the side' yet the aim has always been to make it 'the thing I do'.
I'll get there eventually.
Firstly I finished my mentorship with Wigton Book Festival back in January. I'd tag my mentor Julie Bertagna here but she doesn't seem to be on BlueSky. Thanks to her guidance and input the first rough draft of 'Heavy Is The Earth' got over the line. I surprised myself that I was able to do it...
Here we go then, 2025 nearly over the horizon. As is custom there were certain highlights...
We'll have you all worshipping the might of Kenny McLean before long.
It was both of us.
Cheers Daniel! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you in the glitz and glamour of the Premier Inn Derby.
Of course there will be more professional wrestling talk wedged into The Polis Box. It is, after all, the greatest art form known to humankind.
All the very best to you in 2026.

Also Mother has started to decorate her tree.
That's a Tyranid Prime done I think.

As far as my personal Game of the Year I'm asking 'Is it better than Dispatch?'.
Colin Baker in 'Greatest Show in the Galaxy'.
Just him bellowing at Ragnarok.
There is probably such a thing as too much contrast paint.

Once.
Bought my 360 in 2007 and it had a weekend away to Frankfurt in 2009.
Right, now with the right title card (thanks to @yesterzine.bsky.social and @cripleh.bsky.social) here's another madden style game etc etc youtu.be/6fWGwD4uczQ
And I'm using the back of my inhaler packet.
Yes we are.
Still time to get your thoughts on Once Upon Time to us - we’re live with @felixfrazer.bsky.social and @markdonaldson.bsky.social from 8:30 on Thursday night!
Multiples of 7 for me. 14 or 21 usually.
There's a definite line from Tenchu up to Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei.
6 weeks since finishing the first draft of the book. It was placed to one side and forgotten about. This was great because I could get loads of other stuff done but now I'm itching to get back to it.
I think I'm calling this model done.
