Thanks ever so much for the kind messages while I’ve been off Twitter. My 17-year-old daughter has recently been diagnosed with autism and she’s had some challenging weeks with the other day being particularly hard. It’s nice to know people are thinking about you ❤️

Nice, I'm on holiday for a week. Now to actually do something with my time other than watching Magic drafts and playing random videogames.

Been watching Clarkson’s Farm. I’m not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson but watching him get humiliated every five minutes because he’s completely out of his depth is quite amusing. One thing it does highlight is the sheer difficulties that farmers currently face. Interesting show.

It's endlessly amusing that those who rant and rave and like to accuse people of being "snowflakes" or "woke" typically have the thinnest skins of all.

I'm on holiday next week (aside from the London Game Market which I can't visit) does anyone know of any good retro shops in the south I could visit and maybe trade some stuff?

Ugh. It is Los Illuminados or Iluminados? The game says the first, the wikia says the second. The second makes more sense as it's a literally translation, the game could be a translation error. Deadline bliss

Unsurprisingly shitty news about Matt Hancock’s handling of the pandemic. Still, at least he came third in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 👍
