So… TECHNICALLY I shouldn’t put this in a roundup, because we haven’t finished watching it. However it really rates a mention, owing to the fact that in its original broadcast form I believe each episode is movie-length. What Netflix cunningly did, to make it more bitesize, was to edit it …
A lot of people* have asked me what the “B” in “Jason B Standing” stands for. Another way to phrase it is “What’s your middle name?”, however I suppose in this case because I’ve proffered the “B” to them in the introduction it feels a lot less nosey to ask. …
Never had a proper beard before… not 100% sure about it. Someone the other day said I looked like Christopher Lee from Lord of the Rings. I think I need to put some text underneath the image, or this thing loses its shit and doesn’t know how to render the …

Our house has a rather lovely garden, although some of the fixtures are a little on the dated side. We recently had fences put up so we can release The Hound into the yard without fear of him escaping or marauding the neighbours’ back yards. And another job that’s been …
We’ve got a puppy. I don’t think I mentioned this anywhere on here formally, although my Instagram feed has been fairly clear on this of late and a brief tag search here will verify this. When we first collected him, he was very small indeed. Since then, he’s proven to …
