Popped into Manchester yesterday and these were the images that persisted for me.
1. A Freddo tragedy.
2. THIS PAINTING.
3. Everywhere that was once cool now looking like this.

Last night I gave a talk in this later packed room about writing stories that confront embarrassing experiences. Proud of myself for finding a way to monetise a life of fucking things up.

Just realised that the physical edition of this magazine is the first time I’ve had a print ad for my book. And it features a quote from @jenniegauthor.bsky.social too. 🎷🎷🎷

If you’d asked anyone I went to high school with to name the kid least likely to write an article for a magazine called MAN that has a footballer on the front, they’d have likely said me. Or just sworn and thrown things at you because it was that kind of school.

My book is currently 47% off on Amazon, which is a great deal but also insane. Please buy it (dear god, please buy it) from a brick and mortar book shop or an ethical supplier like Hive or Bookshop.org Discounts feel good but not as good as not funding a billionaire's astronaut fantasies. #booksky

My daughter sent me this photo of an ornament in a Christmas shop so I sent her this old Kinder Surprise ad and now she’s not talking to me.

1991 was the year punk broke. 1993 was the year I tried to convince my friends that heavy metal boogie played by folks wearing tasseled suede jackets was the album of the year. I was right though.

I’ve been going through some old photos of my very elderly dog, Millie. While I wouldn’t want anyone else to say it, she really did look like bad taxidermy at the end.

I'm featured in the Yorkshire Times today re: an event I'm doing in Harrogate next week, where I'll be recreating a mortifying memory from my teens. The last time I did this on stage in 2018 I found the whole thing so emotionally taxing that I burst into tears.
