Start with The Witcher 3 and head back to 2.

Excellent news. Please feel free to stick a finger up at Preston as/if you pass. It is sort of a tradition.

Safe travels!

Is the West Coast Mainline open yet? They closed it after the storm and replacement buses are a nightmare.

Robinson is of mixed-race heritage. He describes his background as "half Afro-Caribbean and half English"

Technically he's British. He's from Nottingham.

I used to be able to sleep endlessly.

Now I find myself awake early in the morning, despite having gone to bed rather late. And I'd like to go back to sleep but I can't.

What I found out was that staying well informed doesn't mean keeping up to date with what is happening at this very moment. It means learning all the wonderful things from history.

Well informed means learning, right?

There are so many brilliant things you can learn right now. And they'll all make you a better, more useful, citizen.

Learn how to paint. Learn photography. Learn why the Japanese like squid. Learn cockney rhyming slang. Learn about Egypt's history with gold. Learn it all. That's also staying well informed.

News is such a small part of being human.

I don't want to spend time painting that for reasons.
