A Timely What Up, Yo

Hello all,

(There’s an audio version of this attached below as an MP3 for those of you who despise reading. Oh and Freya was well behaved, so there's a cat photo also.) 

You may notice I’ve put nothing out for the last quite some time now. Just between you and me, I’ve been...

Art is a Symptom of Passion

Hello wallabies, 

 Housekeeping first: If it's quite all right, I will be collecting your patronage this month. I've got the ghost of a script I kind of like and the glimmer of an idea. This one's going to take lots of stock footage and that's generally been what I put your p...

Stuff What's Happening Lately Yeah

  Hello peacocks, 

(I’ve recorded this as an MP3 by way of doing something exciting and novel that isn’t hard drugs or holding one’s breath and standing up real quick. It’s attached below if you can’t be bothered to read stupid squiggle text words.)

You may no...

Larry, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office

 Hello ocelots. 

I hope you’re doing well. 

You may notice I’ve switched Patreon back to monthly and charged you this month. That’s mainly because I’m trying to make a thing this month. As always I won’t be giving any details away, but yes – I hope you dig i...

February's Rant

Hello there you rambunctious corgis.

How have you been? Is the weather nice? Is that a new hat? 

I won’t be taking your patronage this month. The new video has been rather akin to wrestling some kind of giant prehistoric eel, and I’m pretty certain it’ll ...

Oh, So You're Still Silly Enough to Support my Pitiful Excuse for Content

Hello Cosmonauts. What’s new with you?

Below you’ll find the draft version of the paperback cover for the new book, which I’m obviously rather excited about. All being well, it will be out by the time the next video drops. 

The reaction to the last video rather took me by s...

A Festive What Up

 Good afternoon you festive geese,

If you celebrate Christmas how was it? A veritable blast? Certainly was on my side. I got one of these. 

It’s called a ‘venova’. Yamaha essentially reduced a sa...

Non-Committal November Update

Hello you tawdry jackals. 

So. I’m not going to accept your kind patronage for December. There’s too much to do that I’ve left undone. The audiobook of The Fifth Science has all been recorded in a studio, but I need to do the editing myself and it’s going to be quite a fucker. The pap...

The Standard Monthly Rant and Cat Picture

 Hello lemurs.   

 Hope you're well, and hope you enjoyed the new video too.   

 It's been quite the month. While running a little while ago I came down too hard in a pothole and noticed my back didn't work. In fact it was a slipped disk and I've ...

Book(s)

Hello you despicable seahorses.

Just going through my emails from you chaps, and noticing that some of you are asking after the last few books. I said I'd give them out for no monies to those of you mad enough to support my stuff, and don't intend to go back on that. 

However. To make t...

From a Chair in the Sky

 All right you little chicken teriyaki six inch subs with extra chilies - how's it all going?

I'm currently writing this in a chair in the sky. 

Which is, you know. Neat.

Perhaps you're aware this isn't exactly my favourite method of travel. 

I have something of a ...

Oh Sweet Jesus, the Book is Finally Out

What’s cooking, you bunch of entropic carbon units. 

It is with great, great pleasure that I can tell you the new book is finished and I still haven’t had that stroke yet. And, better still: the thing should be attached to this message for download, (the book, not the stroke) in mobi, epu...

Köszönöm, Peacocks

Hello peacocks. I hope you’re all doing excellently. 

Right, first things first: I’m totally going to accept your kind patronage this month if it’s quite all right with you. The book is getting the finishing touches and the new video is almost ready. Whatever happens,...

Whattup Antelopes (an update)

Hello antelopes, how are you doing? 

Firstly, I hope you liked the new video. I’ve seen a fair few comments pointing out that just because stuff is automatic in the brain doesn’t mean the whole thing is. I have to concede they’re right. I don’t want to get into a big old metaphysical ...

Adventure Mode

 Hola cosmonauts. 

 What's new with you? Anyone learning the accordion?   

 It's been something of an interesting month. We're into full Bulgarian summer now and our faces are all peeling off like a radiation leak in a sci fi movie.   

...

Whattup, you little rapscallions

 Hello gang.   

 How's everything proceeding? Are those new shoes? They look marvellous on you, if I may say so.
 I hope you liked the last video. It confirmed what I already knew which is: it's a lot more fun to work on something longform, so I'm just going to d...

A Book Update and a Book Update

Hello elephants. 

I hope you're doing well. 

A bit of housekeeping first then. Proof copies of the physical version of The Prince of Milk are on the way to me right now, should be here in a few days. If they look all right, I'll approve everything, and the book will be up on Amazon...

New Stories, an Update, and Some Recommendations

 Hello squirrels. How's it all going?   

 It's been an interesting month. I have a bit of exciting news that might not excite you much. Then I have some movie and book and game recommendations that might actually be exciting.   

 A few weeks ago I...

Thoughts on Your Masterpiece, and a Thank You

Hi giraffes,

As a kid living in a weird English village, I was generally allowed to just wander around all day. (We spent the rest of our time smoking pipes and running from tigers.) One day I ended up in the village library. I hadn't read much back then, and what I had read I barely understood. F...

Distinct Lack of Replicants

Knock knock.  

Who's there?  

The new year!  

No thanks, the last one was awful and we've all learned our lessons.    

 Isn't December just delightful? After a year of avoiding various family and friends, you suddenly find yourself partying with...

Here's That Book I Promised

Today is rather special. Instead of banging on about how the book is almost finished, and how I'm looking forward to sending you the book, and how I've been having nightmares about being murdered repeatedly by ebook files, I can just give it to you instead. So I will.

I hope you like it. It's rath...

Acknowledgements

Hello you existential puppies. 

Well, I'm putting together the final list of acknowledgements for the book, and it is as follows. If you don't see yourself on there, please just drop me a DM on here (or an email via exurb1achannel@gmail.com) and I'll be only too happy to get you in there. Som...
