Accidentally took my daughter’s lunchbox back to the car after dropping her at nursery. Mistake rectified in less than a minute but still enough time for the whole class to be co ordinated to shout “silly daddy” on my return. The walk of shame

Euro 2044. England play Scotland in their first competitive match in 2+ decades, and the week’s buildup is dominated by highlights of the great stalemate of 2021. An English defender gets a “Stones trim” to commemorate the legendary header that hit the post

Over the moon to conclude this saga with the news that tomorrow’s Swindon programme will list me as the proud sponsor of third choice goalkeeper Archie Matthews
Probably the high point of yesterday’s fairly turgid affair at the County Ground was discovering that the “player sponsors” page of the programme now comes with excruciating mugshots of the lads pointing towards their benefactors

What a legacy
ALT Taskmaster screencap 1/4: Ivo Graham holds his head in his hand, standing next to the large white Greg statue in the taskmaster garden.
ALT Taskmaster screencap 2/4: Ivo sits with his head in his hands in the taskmaster caravan.
ALT Taskmaster screencap 3/4: Ivo stands again, with his head in his hands in the taskmaster house.
ALT Taskmaster screencap 4/4: Ivo is in the caravan again, sitting with his head in one hand, with the task and 6 sand timers in front of him on the table.

My daughter (4 with strong designs on 5) has now twice asked in the car for a song I apparently played on a portable speaker at a playground in July. I have no idea what it is. I no doubt have failed and will fail her in many less trivial ways but my this one is sending me mad

Bereft doesn’t cover it really. I loved doing this show so much, and could not have asked for merrier taskmates or a more supportive crew, right up to turning these simply outlandish threads round at only a few hours’ notice on the final day. Off to sit in the shed for a bit
Thank you to these five and all involved for another great series of #Taskmaster and a HUGE congratulations to the series winner (who we won’t announce just yet in case you missed the episode)

Today my cusp-of-five-year-old, choosing an outfit, “don’t be sad, socks, I’m sure I’ll choose you later” to a pair that didn’t quite make the cut. Need to keep a lid on too much tweeting like this but that was really an all-timer for me

Alas, I swerved true punishment for my Wicked Ways, getting a shameful but cheap cab to Southampton Central in time for a train that has just got me in to Waterloo more quickly than the Totton 9:52 would have done. Apologies for quite how long this thread has taken. Over and out

Any narrative momentum is now being scrambled by the signal on the train I have since caught. However, I have seen some replies come in about my decision to dine in rather than take away. Despite the venture’s failure I’m still proud to say: taking away never even crossed my mind

I have had some bad games of 5 a side football recently, but today is the first I would ever award myself the full 0/10 for. At one point I did a pass so wayward that our ringer, who has never met me before, muttered, audibly and quite legitimately, “what the fuck was that”
