On my way at vote just now, I came across a swarm of bees! Never seen anything like it.

Saw it with LTNs. Seen it with the GE. Now see it in France. Far from being the ‘voice of the silent majority’ the Far Right are a tiny gobby microminority who can devote inordinate amounts of time to their toxic campaigning because they have very little else in their lives.

I think it's disgusting that UK broadband providers have been replacing their 12 months (or less) contracts in favour of draconian 24 month contracts. The Labour Party (@steve_race) this needs addressing, especially as rates have been creeping up with little justification.

As some of you know, I had to close Rokk earlier this year due to ill health, but I'm super excited to announce that I am now Module Lead and Lecturer at Exeter College for HND Esports! Combining a love of gaming, tech and most importantly, helping young people - a dream role!

Being a college lecturer has come as a wonderful, beautiful, if late life, surprise. The underachieving student who couldn’t wait to get out to set up in business, now revels in helping young people to see their potential. It’s a magical opportunity and I absolutely adore it!

Spotted a bevy of vicars while walking past KFC and discovered that today is the Enthronement Service of the 72nd Bishop of Exeter, The Right Reverend Dr. Mike Harrison. Bargain buckets all round!

Really sad to learn of the passing of Howard Hughes, the talented broadcaster, unique voice and gentle soul behind The Unexplained with Howard Hughes radio and TV shows and podcast.

in case you’re wondering I’m @rokkshow on BlueSky.

What is the point in having celebrities sit for the artists in Portrait Artist Of The Year when all they do is take a photo with their phones and proceed to paint from that? Personally I’d ban them and force them to actually paint the person sat in front of them. #paoty

Happy Christmas Exeter.

YES! I got a Raleigh Grifter, Starsky and Hutch Annual, a Wagon Wheel and Stretch Armstrong!!

To think this little chap probably landed on a T-Rex before getting stuck in pine tree sap 65 million years ago. Now he’s mine!

Did you watch The Repair Shop at Christmas? These are the Fabulous puffins that are outside The Book House in Thame The Book House ... They look magnificent.

Congrats to Exeter Chiefs for knocking the hairy primate off their back. A perfect tonic to go in to the New Year with.

The South West is important to the national economy - from the space sector, defence, food security, and life sciences and climate tech in #Exeter, we have huge potential. I asked the Business Minister Sarah Jones MP to support us to secure new investment for green energy generation.

Mind blown! The AI clone of my voice (PVC - professional voice clone) is now far and away the most used voice globally on ElevenLabs (largest provider in the world with $4bn market val) and on their Audobook Reader app! Just shy of 300k users and 1.5 billion uses!

I had a bitter-sweet day yesterday - starting with a puncture on the way to College - and it sort of went down hill from there. Luckily my students were on top form and lessons were great fun.

Surgery confirmed: 30 April. But before that, one last ride with my own legs... Please consider joining and/or donating. Thanks and please share this event to death. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/g…
