Droppin' science like Galileo dropped the orange.

Into hip hop, jazz, electronic and 90s indie.

Sober AF.
New profile pic.

Today, I do not feel remotely as relaxed and happy I look in this picture. The ups and downs of life I guess.

To lighten the mood, here's the t-shirt/record label/global fashion brand design I made when @louiseann.bsky.social and I were talking about the campaign to #BringBackFingering

I think this was my creative peak. It's been downhill all the way since then.

Another reason that streaming services are shit.

This is a fantastic album and yet one of the best tracks is unavailable.

Had a nap late in the afternoon (+10 points)

Feel fucking atrocious now (-1000 points)

Urgh.

Dreamed last night that I was mates with Idris Elba.

I was really looking forward to the “who’s the most famous person you know” question because I could say Idris Elba.

He really enjoys being Luther too.

Oh and Hannibal Lecter (A. Hopkins version) was in the dream too.

He was shooting people.

My day job is doing outsourced Business Development for technical companies.

They either don’t want to or can’t do it so hire me.

But once I start and we get on calls together the OPINIONS! Suddenly every fucker is an expert!

You don’t tell the plumber how to run pipe and solder joints do you?

I should also add that I don’t *only* like big butts, but this in no way affects my integrity as a person.

Fuck me I’m so shit at rap lyrics.
I actually do like big butts and, while it would be inaccurate to say I *cannot* lie, I am, in general, a decent and truthful person.

That would’ve been a shit song lyric though.

This a banger and I have loved it for so long.

The lyrics are gorgeous too (obvs translated for a dunce like me!)

@anton3ll.bsky.social will understand though x

Just stopped at the motorway services and ANOTHER Irish gentleman tapped my window and asked to borrow money because he’d “broken down”.

This has happened to me a few times now. It’s even more common if you look online for similar occurrences.

I thought the Irish were meant to be lucky?

Last weekend: Changed a headlamp bulb in son’s BMW.

Well over an hour of swearing and skinned knuckles.

This weekend: Changed a headlamp bulb in my Mercedes.

3 mins of simple, accessible job. Including finding the new bulb. No swearing.

Morning dudes.

I’m up and in my comfy chair with coffee. Mrs Rich is asleep* in bed. My dog is being a dick.

Happy Sunday.

TIL that the spoken word vocals on REM’s Radio Song is KRS-One!

Who knew?

(OK very probably you, but I never knew this)

Are all the geopolitics experts buffing up on winter sports for the next two weeks then?

Oh yeah my watch matched my trainers today.

Which was nice.
February 6, 2026 at 5:09 PM
Winner.

I’ve listened to Air a lot recently so this is going on.

Help a brother out.

Suggest a classic album (any era/genre) and the first one suggested that I have downloaded on my phone is going on.

Brighten up this train journey please!

Acceptable public transport seat occupancy rates. Hope the tube is this quiet shortly.
