@HouthiFakisAlis @Clareabelle7 @fesshole "under the influence of your genes"

So we agree.

@HouthiFakisAlis @Clareabelle7 @fesshole How Genes Affect Weight: Hundreds of genes can play a role, influencing how the body stores fat, burns fuel, and signals satiety (fullness). For example, the MC4R gene helps signal to the brain when you are full; a mutation can lead to constant hunger.

@fesshole My wife died in November and we'd had similar conversations for years. I'll never love another person.

Star of How Clean is Your House Kim Woodburn has died, aged 83. She requested that her husband scatter her ashes somewhere outside, because she couldn't bear the thought of that much dust being kept in the living room.

The price of a first class stamp has risen to £1.70, more than DOUBLE what it cost five years ago. In 2020, you could buy a first class stamp for just 76p, with some of those letters due to arrive any day now.

A mural has been unveiled in Darvel in Ayshire to celebrate Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered Penicillin. The unveiling was delayed after being moved from its original site at the local police station, following complaints it weakened the cell walls.

Is Jai Courtney still a thing?

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

@VixLeyton You're too kind. Basically, when the tremor is bad, I have to consciously hold it in, lest I drop the mic or smack myself with it 😂

But I'm enjoying writing at the moment, and when it works, it works well. I just have more work to do on retaining composure when it goes wrong!

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

Well I'm glad yesterday is over. Incredibly stressful and emotionally challenging work day followed by dying on my arse at one of my favourite ever gigs in front of @VixLeyton i genuinely think i disassociated for about 4 minutes on stage.

Oh well. Today is a new day.

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

@VixLeyton To be fair I was a little off in my delivery for the initial joke to set up the callback. My tremor was horrendous yesterday to the point of affecting my breathing, so I wasn't really on it rhythm wise . It really needs that initial joke at the start to hit and it didn't 😔

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

@VixLeyton The fact that you remember any of that word vomit is astounding, and I'm very flattered. New day, new gig, new chance to put it right and all that 🙂

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

@robhalden It's beautiful

Finally got around to season 2 of #Shrinking. Binged it in two days, and now I'm sat here weeping.

It's an incredible feat of writing and acting for every single main cast member to make you laugh out loud AND break your heart consistently over a series. Phenomenal television.

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

@robhalden I agree. He broke me in that final episode. As did Brett Goldstein. He can do no wrong at the moment it seems

[Danyal Poweem (stop me before I quit again) @BigCuckLittle]

Got home from seeing @CallMeCantrill's tour show in Leeds. There are fucking levels to this comedy game and that cheeky Bradford boy is currently fighting Dr Robotnik. What an incredible show.

Also I hope his support keeps going because he was funny too.

Not a sausage for me this week, but early days. One of our amazing writing group got on though, congrats @joeshooman ♥️
