Booted the laptop up buy Tool tickets, saw the price, shut down laptop.

Covid finally caught up with me. 7 days of isolation still to go. The hardest part has been trying to avoid buying everything I've been vaguely interested in over the last 40yrs to fill the boredom. Anyway, I'm off to put up my new Squirrel feeder.

I had to take my son for a PCR test yesterday after a positive lateral flow. If your wondering what PCR stands for it's Phil's Christmas Ruined.

FFS. I've been going to the Leadmill for 25yrs.

Women of America, I appreciate the restraint you've shown in not murdering all of us men in our sleep until now. If tonight is the night, I understand and I still think you've shown remarkable restraint.

Proud dad post. Brody represented the East Midlands (and Chesterfield) yesterday at Trampolining and became national champion for his age and level. Straight back training again this morning!

Thank you, Twitter, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. (BBC coverage of North Korean funeral overlaid on QE2 footage)

It took VAR 3 minutes to ruin the World Cup.

East Midlands School's Gold medal today for Brody. On to the next round and then hopefully national finals in March.

She was not happy.

Wednesday night noise. Author & Punisher in Sheffield.

I've not seen Fucked Up live since 2009. Put that right last night. Great gig.

Kerbdog live in Leeds last night.

As the government tries to legislate to force the NHS to refer to the private sector, here is the endpoint. Quite simply, there will be even fewer resources to manage healthcare needs in the U.K. Don't let them get away with it!

State of this country.

I've not posted much about Brody trampolining of late, but over the last two weeks he has won two golds and qualified for two national competitions. The first at Birmingham Arena in September.
