Someone recently told me that I’m wrong about Coldplay. That in fact, they are a good band. Am I wrong?

Just sat through an hour and a half of kids dancing around on a stage so that I can film my kid dancing around on a stage and tell her how amazing she was at dancing around on a stage. Death would be a welcome relief rn.

My wife thinks this is disgusting but this is how we ate strawberries as kids and look at me now! A bag of allergies and acute anxiety issues yay!! 🎉

Our little one first slept through when she was 3 years old. Yes. YEARS! Smh I blame the parents.

Fuck me... both my kids slept through the night from 6/8 weeks. Was it because I played with them and exhausted them? Hell no!

My wife is like “oh no, I messed up the train timetable, I’m so mad with myself. I’m going to go shopping now” 😂😂

The problem with being out in public is people eating right next to me. Like, the sound of ppl eating in general makes me want to war, but the sounds some ppl make I just can’t.

I asked this couple at the tennis if they’d like me to take a photo for them and they handed me the phone in front-cam mode and I accidentally snapped a pic of myself before switching it around. I guess I’m in their lives forever now.

We’re staying in a room in someone’s house in Wimbledon and they’re so kind. They let us drop our stuff off early, gave us a lift to the tennis, and left us a box of croissants for breakfast. We can’t eat them coz butter but the thought 🥰

Chill

For the first time in my voting life, I had to make a really difficult decision today. In the end I went with my heart but the pull to vote out of fear was strong. There's going to be a lot of work to do come tomorrow.

I doubt the UK will be partying in the same way as 97 come Friday. There’s too much work to be done. -End

My wife was laughing at me for having sore legs from 100 squats. Now it’s 11pm and she’s doing 100 squats to make a point 😂

Practicing 👌

Aaaaaaand we’re off!

Today’s the day! 🏍️ ⛺️ VIP Thursday tickets 💪

I’m so good at chess I turn M1s into M3s like an alchemist.

When you start referring to Art as content I just can’t.

AI shills resent artists & think that making art is a chore that nobody actually wants to do:

The problem with having a young child AND a cat is that there’s no moment in the day where I’m not being demanded of, loudly.

Gear check. Done. Ready for ABR festival next week. 🏍️🤘

Well that was fricken’ epic.

I’m so tired. Me and the kid have been hanging out since Wednesday. Mamma is due back tomorrow night. Took kiddo to a bday party today and I’m so broken. Gonna watch Kiki’s Delivery Service to relax. Kid is in bed.

Men, angry the pub doesn’t open before 8am, shouting “LOCK EM UP”, is so on brand for 2024.

Also, using specific words on purpose because I understand the meaning of the words, and people getting upset because they think I mean something that I don’t. The word “upset” is a prime example.

Sometimes I read posts like this and I’m actually shocked. Shocked that someone else has had a similar experience to me. I honestly thought it was a me problem. Still might be but my experience of ppl is that they get really upset about questions and it’s so confusing to me.

I keep thinking about this video where an autistic woman explained that neurotypical people ask questions with the aim of eliciting shame (what a fool you are for not knowing that), whereas autistic people ask questions because they are interested in the answers.

As if the person replying “Actually…” to me is ever going to get a response 😂

I’m back home in Manchester for a family reunion. There’s loads of the buggers here. I’m holding up but already quite overwhelmed by the noise and quantity of ppl. I’m hiding in a separate room for a few minutes 😅

My chess puzzle rating is an absolute rollercoaster right now 😂🎢

6yo: Pappa, when you open your eyes, where do your eyelids go? Me: 🤔

Honestly, I thought this would do better on the social media.

2016, All Over Again. ☠️

Just picked my little girl up from her first Chess club. Proud father moment 😄
