What a time to be a Villa fan

Up the Villa, Professor Zephaniah.

Death. Taxes. Villa winning at home.

Your annual reminder that if you start watching Peep Show S1E1 at 17:03 on Christmas Eve, you can realise Jeremy has ‘forgotten’ the turkey at the exact same time as Mark on Christmas Day

What is the most boring Christmas food and why is it stollen?

I got a Stewart Lee joke in my Christmas cracker.

Just saw a van for a company called 'Axis Carpets' which, of course, is the natural rival to Allied Carpets.

Oh, not Tony Green. What a sad loss. Grew up watching Bullseye. As a kid, he was always my favourite part of the show. Total legend.

This one, and it's not even remotely close.

I miss making comics. I'll put out some comics this year.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the headline slots on the Pyramid Stage should be reserved exclusively for household (or near household) names. It should be 'the' pinnacle of a music career.

Compliance/non-compliance are terms I'd love to see removed from workplace culture. Feels like such authoritarian terminology.

What a wild, yet enriching, ride. Began one month before the pandemic lockdowns and, at times, I was not certain we would ever get to this point... yet, here we are! I can't recommend Cardiff Metropolitan University and its fantastic staff enough.

To me, one of the best lessons we could learn from David Lynch is to stop demanding explanations of every piece of art from the artist who made it and instead let the art talk and decide what it means individually to you. What a richer way to experience the world.

Drove all the way to work today only to realise I'd forgotten my laptop, so drove home to get it, only to then realise I'd left the house key in my coat draped over the chair at work, so drove back to work to get the key, and then decided to drive home to work from home...

The good people at Kinpaurak published a flash fiction piece I wrote. I initially wanted to write it as a play because I think it would be dead funny as a play, but I have no experience in such matters so, if you produce plays, please do be in touch. kinpaurak.com/2025/04/08/bax…

I wrote some absurdist satire. Robot Butt gave it a home. Stock Market Speedrunning: robotbutt.com/2025/06/05/sto…

Pulp delivering the performance of the weekend at Glastonbury (although Four Tet was incredible last night). They sound incredible and the fact they're not headlining is nothing short of negligent booking.

My story, Glass Womb, has been published by the good people at Blood+Honey! Give it a look! It's loosely based on a short poem I once wrote called 'I am a vending machine, pregnant with a human-shaped man'. Make of this information what you will...
