Bit of Sunday morning reading?! Ever since writing the Warne pod I’ve been keen to start writing a bit more & especially keen to be placed next to a kitchen makeover ad.

So when said they’d let me write a monthly column for their fancy pants new app, I of course had to tie the pod into my introduction in the July version of the mag

My brain is a mess which makes it even more remarkable they’re letting me write about whatever I like from next month & call it an ‘Opinion’, but I’m excited!

(Also you can now pick up a version of the actual paper magazine if you can’t zoom in on this photo to read)

I’ve made a thing that’s available on BBC Sounds from tomorrow night

Shane Warne: A Hampshire Love Story

Rambling me is below to say a bit more…or you can just wait and listen to it

FA CUP WEEKENDER! Proper proud of the Pompey Live gang for putting on the first ever FA Cup weekender covering Portsmouth women & men.

We had such a laugh & it was lovely lovely chaos despite two games with weird levels of symmetry.

Also never have I seen Jake Smith & Jay Sadler drool like they did when they walked onto the gantry at Spurs.

Radio is the best.

Good to see none of us in shot could be arsed to actually make the trip to lovely Devon, but we’re still having all the fun in a windowless studio.

Portsmouth’s trip to Exeter plus all the other Boxing Day sport live alllll afternoon

Happy Sunday guys xx May your new week be filled with festive joy

Tis the season to be queuing for 15mins whilst Brenda tries to find her MyWaitrose card to purchase her 3 cabbages and Brussels’ Pâté

What beautiful live chaos the first ever Big Holm Show was (and thank god won). Hope you enjoyed it if you watched live or were in the crowd!

Loved that - how good is Mark Atkinson & how pathetically tiny does he make me look.

The news about Doddie Weir was the news so many people were dreading - and the outpouring of love has shown how many non Scottish, non rugby fans were in awe of him and loved him.

The saddest news of one of the most wonderfully kind, gentle & funny people. I will never forget the moment he presented the matchball at Murrayfield in 2017, or a few weeks ago. I think he epitomised everything I love about Scotland. He was also a ridiculously good rugby player and I’m sad I never got to watch him.

It’s obvious how much his legacy will live on and how much he did for the fight against MND, but I’d say if ever there was a time to give a bit back to Doddie it’s probably now isn’t it - so take a look at his foundation & find a way to get involved because I think he deserves that at the very least x

P.S. red wine or Guinness with your roasts today for him pls

I’ve been in Venice for the last few days which has been nice. I know you don’t care about/already know how sexy it looks though so here are the s**t & silly parts that I thought would be more fun to show you.

Also, Venice is I think the greatest example of how beautiful humans once made the world, and now how much we’re ruining it.

On that cheery note I’m going back to eating squid ink pasta & drinking Bellinis

21/11/2022

You wouldn’t get this if I had a regular radio show

18/11/2022

It’s a night for s**t poses and a BIG game of football - Friday night lights for Pompey v Derby. & iFollow from 7👍

10/11/2022

Last night I played “Love Me Do” by The BEATLES on DRUMS* to EVERYONE

I think leaving you without context may be more fun - but WHAT a night Phil Nichol put on. He’s ridiculously funny and the accompanying David Tims (from fame) is so joyfully talented at making any song sound fun and silly.

They’re back on 7th Dec and you should go and see it and I dare you to sit on the front row.

*8 year old Ringo Starr wannabe me would be bursting at this

In fairness there’s not enough to be angry at in the world at the moment

I’ve moved house - nice to know the creators had a sense of humour👍

(I’ve checked and you won’t find me on maps you creeps)

Just something to get us all over the hump

Yes I pulled over mid drive to stick my face on the window

Yes I’m tired

Your brain is so unbelievably complex…it’s no surprise that sometimes it confuses us or makes us sad. So look after it x

Last year we recorded a series on Wellbeing with - and if you swipe there’s a couple of episodes with the brilliant that might well help - whether you’re struggling or not. YOU CAN STILL LOOK AFTER YOUR BRAIN EVEN IF YOU FEEL HAPPY BTW

Oh for ffff

Really lovely fun covering Pompey’s women…so proud of the PL team who made it possible for us to cover the game from a ground with no electricity or WIFI and still do EVERYTHING & MORE we normally do for a mens game (which shouldn’t be hard btw)

I’m going to start a petition for us to cover more often because they’re great and we love doing it👍

I’ve put one of ’s microphone’s to bed in kitchen roll which means THE CRICKET SEASON IS OVER

What a summer - so much fun & drama & actual hot sun for a change. Loved it. So lucky to have been involved with a club that won 2 (& might be 3) trophies. Hope you’ve enjoyed it in whatever capacity you’ve consumed it. Cricket - the bloody best

Cc: I expect that microphone to remain in bed and rested until next April

18/09/2022

It just would happen ^^

Very sweet of Nana (no reason I call him that I’m just a prick) to bring me to work for the Ferrari Challenge - if you’re a sports nerd you’ll never get bored of seeing new sports venues & Silverstone is excellent

are a brilliant hospice for children & young adults with life limiting/threatening conditions. Their hospice is I think one of the most magical places on earth, run by the loveliest of lovely people - but they always need your support…

Thankfully you can support them whilst being silly and having fun - as their Santa Fun Run’s are back this December and they’ve added Poole to their list!

I’ll be there and you should dress up as Santa - full info over on social/website

(I know the C word is a while off but before you get busy thinking about the cost of living crisis & Strictly…)

Lovely to have the Fringe back after a few years…

It’s one of the greatest events around and it’s filled with so much joy. It’s been a grim couple of years for the Arts (darling) but there are so many hilarious and talented people making us all laugh, and we should be grateful for that.

Also ideal when they’re doing it on the best city on the planet

I’m starting to get interested in clothes, which if you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I definitely have not previously taken any interest in. As you can see facials are a work in progress.

Turns out, taking care of how you look can actually be fun - thankfully ( do womenswear) have been on hand to inspire me and I am becoming fascinated with what they do. They’re independent, travel all over the world, and bring clothes back here.

I’d recommend modelling their stuff in a rustic bathroom whilst pulling the face you’d make if you were being tortured👍

18/07/2022

I tried it so that you don’t have to. It doesn’t work

30/06/2022

Got to go to Wimbledon on Monday and this is the only photo I got of the whole day…so it went really well and I did a great job of showing you how thoroughly unreachable I am

However, seeing Andy Murray swearing LIVE was a genuine dream come true - this place is magical

20/06/2022

Hi guys- from now on I’m unreachable and don’t care about you unless you have at least 2M followers x

(I got called Tobias yesterday by someone and no one let it go, thinking of keeping it)

A Sunday spent on a tractor trailer with the GC is a Sunday well spent (as they famously say)

What a ridiculously silly but brilliant day in lovely little Sandwich for the CRISPERENDIUM with - fun for the sake of fun is the best.

Also, feel free to unfollow if you don’t have crisp sandwiches - I don’t need you here

Happy #ShaneWarneDay ! I feel like the great man would’ve loved something as silly and fun as this… Nice of @melissagstory to take the whole “make sure it’s a dot ball” seriously and cut me for 4🏏

Just a reminder of how great the NHS and vaccination *science* are for getting us to this position

Apparently this is doing the rounds again on @comedycentral OF ALL CHANNELS @haveigotnews / @friends happy to get involved if you like what you saw

If I were thoroughly unoriginal I’d captain this “life is all about balance”

Given my love for sitting on the sofa watching sport it’s no surprise I’m now telling you which TV is best for doing just that Also multi screen view has never been so relevant than this weekend has it THERE IS TOO MUCH GOING ON #Samsung #NeoQLED

May your Paddy’s Day be nowhere near as hectic as this

If you’re new to following me then hi. This is what you’ve got yourself into👍

Just some inspiration for you to run with today x Cc: @hasbro @ravensburgerglobal

Took myself to Paris for a few days didn’t I. People are great but doing things on your own can also be really fun - it also allows you to get wine drunk and draft up terrible ideas for radio features and TV shows👍

I made a video for Instagram about me being on TikTok that I’m now posting on Facebook Grandad has gone hip - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZML6jCskg/

SERIES 3 of @nidostudent’s Pocket Podcasts - there’s no video so I made some topical & trendy images to go over the audio for the trailer Sustainability with wonderful Eleanor from @_teachthefuture begins TUESDAY! https://open.spotify.com/show/6dTzi4yLF45bZEkLmphmty

Weren’t expecting that from DJ Robbie (not a thing) were you Mr Flamingo

Doddie Aid is a great thing and it’s back for 2022! Download the Doddie Aid app chop chop

WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS

Azeem Rafiq is the most unbelievably courageous human. What a man. This I think perfectly sums up the responsibility that WE have as a society. If you’re white and reading this, this is absolutely your problem…
