HOT TAKE: Platform 9 3/4 is a fucking liability. Why isn’t the station in Diagon Alley? It’s in the same city for Chrissake.


I’ve just realised that America does not have an ‘Aaron Space Museum’. I can pronounce hyperbole now too. 30 years and I’ve finally sorted everything.

Today is both #RoaldDahlDay2018 and #WorldSepsisDay. I don't have anything funny to say about this, but it does demonstrate the breadth of human endeavour.


Why do all vape juices appear to be aimed at 14 year old emo boys?


Starting a sentence with "I don't know" is very endearing to me. That kind of raised pitch, questioning, response type "I don't know". Though it's often followed by an assertion of fact, it seems healthy to undermine any assertion before you make it. Just to be safe.


In the French dub of Beauty and the Beast, is Belle still called Belle? Is Lumiere called Lumiere? Surely that wouldn’t work?

Footballers should have pockets in their shorts. When they feel bored, sulky, unappreciated, they can put their hands in their pockets. They could have wine gums in them, antihistamine pills, mementos of a time they felt loved and safe.


Big fan of the poultry arts, Harry Kane. Always drawing the foul.


I’m driving on a road that has a hashtag. Time to waste half an hour seeing what that’s about.


If dogs could hug it would be a wonderful thing. But then they wouldn't stop and you'd have to either prise them off, or walk around with a dog attached like an oversized infant macacque. Every wonder is a double edged sword.


Gratifying honesty from Stuart Maconie: "The album's great. Of course we tell all the artists that. But occasionally it's true."

Overheard in the bar: In those days a squirrel could get off in Dover and go all the way to John o' Groats without leaving the trees.
