Dad and husband. IT, cats, football, trains, music, poetry, left wing, Stardew Valley. The order may vary from time-to-time.
279 hours and 35 minutes of gameplay #StardewValley #Perfection and Farmer Miser can finally rest.

Getting the 10m gold for the golden clock turned into a bit of a drag.

Anyone know why Stoke tickets aren’t on general sale yet? Should have been 12pm today (which I’ve taken as midday, not midnight) #oufc

Spent yesterday evening playing multiplayer #GoVacation on the #Switch with my wife and daughter. Great fun 🙂 they went racing around in sports cars and I slowly explored on my horse.

Youre damn right.

A 'public backlash' is putting in mildly.

If the House of Lords blocks/dilutes this bill then they will be inadvertently voting for their own destruction.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

These guys are so clearly terrified. Spooked by their own wrongdoing. Alarmed that it’s all being recorded and disseminated before they can rewrite the story. Each bystander has a billion eyes, a billion ears. This is not what they signed up for. The recruitment propaganda promised glory, power, and

Co-op #StardewValley on the iPad is a little flaky (connections drop sometimes) but so much fun. Even when my daughter stomps on my parsnip patch 🤬🤣

Just a reminder that “yeah but my friends/colleagues/contacts are still on Twitter” becomes more of a crap excuse every day.

Think about what you’re actually supporting. These sites and services only exist because people use them

Presumably we won’t actually be allowed to take any of our penalties should the game end in a draw #oufc

Russell Martin is the fourth odds-on candidate for the #oufc job.

I’d be happy with that.

Former Southampton boss William Still is the new odds-on favourite for the #oufc job.

It’s almost as if no-one really knows!
