English, grew up in Malaysia. I played ping pong with a Chinese kid called Dennis. He didn't speak English and my Hokkien was bad. It dawned on me about 15 years later he was probably saying 'tennis'. Fucking mortified.

Last night in The Pav, at @ronanfromcork’s CineCeoil, I got to meet Jade and Olive, the puppets of Anika O’Hagan-Ploug’s charming animated music-video for K E L’s Colour Me Pink. @IndieCork

I do Wordle first thing every morning, then spend all day dropping that 'word' into as many different conversations as possible, just to mess with people

As a cynical, apathetic teenager I mocked the very optimistic and bubbly girl that I knew, feeling that I was superior in my knowledge of how shitty and ruthless the world was and the atrocities it holds. Now I see that we need more people like her and less like me. Sorry Izzy.

As a kid, Dad used to take me to the snooker club. He used to deliberately miss and go easy on me like a Dad would. Decades later, he's got severe dementia and nowadays when I take him to play every week, guess who's the one going easy and deliberately missing now? Love you Dad

I like to think I'm good at the music round in pub quizzes, but its just dawned on me that I know very little about music this century and we're already a quarter of the way into it

Grandparents when you switch from HDMI1 to HDMI2.

I intentionally misquote Star Wars using lines from Star Trek just to annoy my partner then feign ignorance when he angrily corrects me.
