Listen to everyone saying you let your country down.

Corporate day out. Lightning talk about how the Premier League is the ultimate design system incoming.

Selfie of me in a stand at Fulham football club. The pitch is behind me.

Top day launching the new libraries and features in our system to the wider design team, topped off with a workshop by DS royalty @bencallahan.com.

There is simply no other band like Lightyear. I can’t put into words why something so ostensibly daft worked in a way it did and held together a community nation-wide. I get emotional watching them, twenty five years past, screaming the lot.

The band Lightyear on stage in London. There is a full crowd in front of them with their arms raised, mid-song.

Ska punk forever and ever

I am just a stadium rock guy now.

If they don’t come with a shoehorn like this they’ve really missed a trick.

This was all collected less than a mile from our front door, and is predominantly energy drink cans. Shame they don’t give you the energy to find a bin, you pack of wankers.

A large buckets filled past the brim with empty plastic bottles and drinks cans.

If you say “rules are rules” to this, just go and watch rugby.

This morning I had never heard of Angine de Poitrine. I have become obsessed.

The band Angine de Poitrine. A French Canadian duo. On the left is the guitarist/bassist, on the right the drummer. They are dressed in black and white polka dot outfits with matching backdrops. Each wears a large papier mache head.

We’ve been looking after a tortoise for Christmas and he has made himself comfortable.

My daughter laughing heartily with a tiny tortoise balanced on her tummy. Next to his back legs is a large poo.

I have not read the article but can only assume this is about you.

Naughty pattern from Goals here. I get a bunch of marketing emails that I don’t want from them, but if I try to unsubscribe they tell me I won’t get the confirmation ones that I do need.

The unsubscribe page on Goals’ website which reads: Red-carding our emails?! (No hard feelings - we’ll stay off your pitch from now on.) Just to let you know, moving your emails onto the bench will also mean you'll not receive confirmation and transactional emails. You can revisit this at anytime!

For fleeting moment last night, my face was projected 30ft tall to ten thousand people at Alexandra Palace.

Turnstile playing to a huge crowd at Alexandra Palace. The backdrop is a live feed of the crowd, and a large part of it shows my face.

Sidestage wanker at the Biffy show.

Had to wait till year seven, but we won the school quiz at the final attempt. St Albans again ole ole!!

I simply refuse to believe I have today become the parent of a teenager, despite them being a legend.

Cowards are posting films with 40%+ scores. I will forever go to bat for the City Slickers franchise.

Screenshot of the Rotten Tomatoes review page of City Slickers 2. It has a 15% critic score, and 31% public score from over 50000 ratings.

I love picking up a book wherever we’re staying to read while on holiday. This was the only one in our Airbnb that wasn’t in French. It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read. Ever. All hail @tricialockwood.bsky.social, Word Magician.

My hand holding a copy of the book “Priestdaddy” by Patricia Lockwood on a stony beach in France. The cover has a drawing of a green, long-haired cat in a pink shirt and knitted vest.

Happy Gilmore 2 really fell for all the traps that decades apart comedy sequels do. Every single joke from the first one just repeated while looking directly down the lens like this:

For eels with their mouths wide open. Caption reads “eels always look like they just told a joke and are waiting for a reaction”.

Sonny forever and ever. A true legend.

At least one final has gone to plan today. Up the Kingdom!
