Working with @EnergySvgTrust on energy saving tings. Recovering comms/marketing person. Miss it tho. Will also tweet utter nonsense. Think Twitter is the WORST.

I am presenting in "preview mode" today for the first time Messy Jobs, in the Alumni Weekend of @LSEPublicPolicy. I profit from the opportunity to show you the cover by James Clarke!

We are working hard towards a June 15th publication date. Hopefully we shall make it!

Our editor, working on our "Messy Jobs" manuscript, was not amused when I told him that his beloved em dashes were (mostly) forbidden, because people had learned to read them as a sign of LLMness. After some back and forth, he reluctantly accepted with the following message.

Every year at 11.41 on 02.07 I allow myself a little moment. 4 years of this ridiculous little man. Happy birthday Ryden James Clarke, I am so, so lucky to be your dad x

4 year old just requested this in the car. “The America song.”
He knows.

@nonottreally Doh! Shoulda planned ahead and spread my bets - what a missed opportunity

Is there anything more British than being in a queue. For a queue. For a Britpop band. And then being bitterly disappointed? No? No there is not.

Update:

Dear @wembleystadium, please confirm your plans to expand capacity by 5x over the next 10 months.

Kind regards

Emotional. Lad’s last week at nursery. The enormity has barely blipped his radar. Last drop off with his dad. Last goodbye to his lifelong pals. Last aromatic chicken jollof tagine with ladyfingers and fivespice puddlesauce puree. Dude is chill af about this but I am INCONSOLABLE

Our annual Progress Report is out today. The country’s 2030 target is at risk. It’s not too late to get back on track but now the Government needs to take urgent action in the next year.

Let’s take a closer look at the analysis ->🧵

RIP @KerrangTV. Video killed the radio star. Digital killed the video star. Now they’ve gone and killed off kicking back and feeling like a kid in the kitchen catching Killing In The Name Of. Crap. #IWantMyMTV

Organising my weekend according to Yard Act, Burna Boy, Black Pumas, Janelle Monae, Sleaford, Avril Lavigne, Nothing But Thieves, Fontaines, Jungle, Michael Kiwanuka, and anybody I’ve never actually heard of. Plus Shania (goes without saying).
You?

Heartbroken to hear @Rob7Burrow has left us. It was the greatest honour to run his inaugural marathon a year ago in my hometown, but this was a man who left us in the dust: ran his race and then some. If you weren’t moved, you weren’t watching.

When I play GTA with my 3 year old I expect to answer questions about my judgment, wisdom, parenting and the terrorist fast-track graduate programme I have lined up for my son.

I did not expect to have to spend 22 minutes this weekend explaining to him what a pay phone is. Was.

In one final act of revenge, I’m attending the wedding of @NorwichCityFC fans, starting at THREE O’CLOCK today. Any other #lufc fans captive today? Top tips for creatively viewing the Play Off Final during the ceremony? @LUFC

[James Clarke @Fun_and_James]

Thank you @LUFC. I’m not sure I had mentioned I’m staying over at a #Norwich fan’s house tonight - but allow me to be grateful for the BEST way to walk in like Lord of the frickin Manor 👊🏼 #leenor #playoffs #lufc

Flashbacks. RIP to everyone who made it through miles 17-20 of the #RobBurrowLeedsMarathon today. No frickin joke.

[Ben Bason @benjamesbason]

Otley is getting ready to welcome runners at Mile 17 of the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon! A bit of motivation for those struggling with the incline heading out of town…
