• Lolzilla: If I eat a spoon, I will become magical
• Me: ok, cool
• Harvey (off stage): No you won't.
• It will really hurt.
• And you'll have to go to hospital and the doctors will cut you open and take it out and put you back together and you'll be all better.
• But it will hurt you.
• A lot!

I am about to leave work, and head into the city to see Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, and goodness knows who else with my lovely wife.

I wish David Mitchell was here.

I made sure to remind him to ask the fireman “are you that same fireman who came to mummy’s special party?”

That should work, right?

Cardinal “Silver Machines” (by sbritt)

I’ve probably said it before, and should probably say it again (perhaps with clarity and elegant prose) - but seriously. Richard Davies, Eric Matthews.

17 years on, and this is still a 5-star album.

Small Demons “Welcome to the Storyverse”

This was a fun one to make and to be a part of, and it all starts with a really powerful idea—that there’s value in connecting the details in all the stories in all the books in the world. Say you’re reading High Fidelity and want to listen to every piece of music. And some of those songs are mentioned in other stories, too. Small Demons. Not bad, right?

A million thanks to the Small Demons team (great people) and everyone who helped make this.
