So, I started on Wegovy a month ago as it was either that or die. Which sounds dramatic but my weight has got really mad due to me being a comfort eater. And lately, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s a lot in the world that I’d quite like to retreat from in…

I wonder if it’s these trees responsible for the OLD JIZZ stench on Derby Road, up towards the QMC after the Shell roundabout. #Nottingham #Jizz #ComeTrees

I’m still bemused that one of the kids in the classroom scene at the start of Project Hail Mary has a Roland TR-909 in front of her. That’s some pretty big bucks on a teaching aid.

THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY STRUCK ME FROM THE SOCIOLOGY ACADEMY! RUE, I SAY! RUEEEEEEEEE!

utsökt rumpa mmmm

I was just thinking… .. all those 3D printers out there. Can you imagine the gnarly dildoes people are printing out? ? 3DPrinting #BumFun #MingeMeddling #ArseSpelunking #QuimDobbing

Me scooching next to you for some much-needed head pats: [Link forwards to a video of a very rotund froad doing a lil jump. He is in need of pats.]

I’m compiling my BEST ALBUMS OF 2025 list and I’ve put my fave track from each album on a playlist. I loved 91 albums this year. As ever, this year has been a great year for music but dull year for chart music. Which is what happens when everything is under the thumb of only…

As a brown man, I’m very glad the police have pointed out the people who they raided / control explosioned in Derby are Poles. Though I know this won’t stop the Regormless frothing about MUSLAMIC SHARIA TWAIN TERRORISM.

Just re-watched tv series #TheExpanse (yes, I’ve read the books) and the last scene always kills me.  The Rocinante with that backdrop. I’m not saying it’s as utopian as Trek but at least it’s hopeful.  I hope humanity makes it. Looking around at now, I doubt we will.  But I hope we do. 

I’m sad so it’s mostly cranking for me lately. #HaveFunWatchingMeWeepAndTugStarmerYouAbsoluteCunt

Oh yes! GLASS ALL ROUND, EVERYONE!

Why didn’t the Huel people do a link up with whoever owns Futurama now and just call themselves Bachelor Chow?  I mean… come on… IT’S RIGHT THERE.  Also, I could kill a cold Slurm right now. 

You know the most amazing thing about successful bands?  It’s that a group of people could work together long enough to make it. I’ve been a gigging musician since 1982 and never had any stable musical association longer than a year or so.  But then, I am a massive, massive cunt. 

I love food, I love sex, I love MUSIC but there’s a special thrill about discovering that you love an author’s work that you have never read before. You look at all the books they’ve written that you’re gonna binge and it’s like…. mmmmmm… like a whole stack of the sexiest pancakes in your bed. 

BUT WHAT IF I WAS PLAYING BELGIAN AIR HOCKEY AGAINST A TRANS FURRY AND THEY ATE MY FACE?  what then? HUH?  Cos that has happened literally thousands of times *just today.*  TODAY. In Nether Heage. Yes, it did.  Let that sink in, Marxist deviants, while you’re straightening our bananananas. 

You know, I completely did not know #BobaFett was in #SummerHoliday  The helmet should have been a giveaway.  #StarWars

On Monday afternoon, I started feeling freezing. Had to put the heating up to 26°C. Then, on Tuesday, I had weird peeing going on, urge incontinence and pain at the very end. But I was peeing fine. Looked it up, NHS website said a possible UTI which is rare in men but, sadly, not in…

Sometimes, when I do a new release, it feels like I’m just pissing in the wind. What is the point? Am I just making more noise in a noisy world? Why even bother? I keep on because you never know how or when your art will connect. I love *loads* of artists who were never…

One of the kids in a flashback sequence in #BlackSnow is wearing a #ThePresets tee and now I feel even older than normal hehehe Oh, the decades, they are piling up like autumn leaves. 

I’ve always been an emotional bear but since my parents died, I’m like a raw, peeled prawn and the world appears to be throwing salt directly onto my bare flesh. Probably my fave ever #DoctorWho moment:  Every time, this makes me weep. Every bloody time.  #S5E10 #VincentAndTheDoctor #MattSmith #KarenGillan

Very much missing my Mummy today.

As a kid, my Mummy would make me the most special of treats: huge slabs of butter on each slice of bread and then sugar. Just loads of sugar. Maybe some cake hundreds and thousands if she had some in. Only thing better than that twat is the ambrosia known as CONDENSED MILK SANDWICHES. And,…

I’ve never been in Rask so I popped in yesterday and had verrr tasty bacon and eggs. Will be going again as I need to sample what looks like some yum cakes.

MORE rolling shutter, I say, MORE! I want my backgrounds *horizontal* in whip pans, I want the geometry to be like A KIP THORNE NIGHTMARE! I laugh at your mere 37ms. LogicPro’s latency is four weeks now. FOUR WEEKS. I press a note on my synth, leave on holiday and come back to it start…

I wish I had more friends who were physicists so I could see their brows furrow when I asked them the most inane questions.  Same with mathematicians, really but they’re harder to pin down than physicists. And they scare me. Physicists = friendly capybaras, mathematicians = skittish aye-ayes

If you’re posting regularly on here or anywhere you should also be archiving those posts on your own website. I have silly little posts I made on usenet 29 years ago that I love reading now, like old diary entries. They have value. tl;dr Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left of you.

INTERIOR, PATENT OFFICE, 1904 CUSTOMER: “Well, it’s actually my *Dad’s* invention so I guess you could say, it’s all relative! haha! Geddit? Relative!  PATENT CLERK: “Rrrrrelatif, you saaaay? Hmmmm…”

I’m really nonplussed when white people say, “You have the same name as my friend!”  And what??  I’m gonna do it myself.  “John? You’re called JOHN? My friend is called John!” And then stare at them. For ages. 

Every time I’m recommended a vid on YT that has a clickbait title or extreme reaction thumbnail, it’s an auto-block for that channel.  Every YTer I’ve ever followed has started off cool and then sprinted towards shittiness as fast as their Vessis could carry them.  *vomits in mouth a little*

It’ll be tough to delete my #WhiteTown Facebook page, I *will* lose work and money. But, man, fuck Zuckerberg, fuck Meta and every product they make.  Do you remember before Insta was evil? And WhatsApp?  I guess I’ll end up just on #Mastodon and my own hosted websites. Back to 1995!  I loved MySpace before…

So far, if I had to stereotype both places, I’d say that Mast feels like a lunchtime chess club in September on a rainy day where you haven’t got a full set so the rook is a purple haired troll and the bishop is a finger Boglin. And Bluesky is a Sixth Form disco full…

Every single adult I know, apart from my friend Natalie, has done the parent face at me. We’re having lunch or we’re in a café and their Mum or Dad rings. They answer and they do that face, the eyerolly one as they try to get off the phone as quickly as possible. Afterwards, they’re…

On Monday, it was my mother’s funeral.  It’s very hard to write about how I feel because we’ve been saying goodbye to her for a while now, as she had dementia the last few years. Anyone who’s been through this with a relative will know how it is, your loved one gets gradually whittled away…
