I posted about this last week but didn't t do it justice - was swamped at the time. My latest story for BBC Future. This project in North Yorkshire is fascinating. For years, the wells at Kirby Misperton yielded gas. Now they are the target of a geothermal project. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Watched Heretic tonight. I enjoyed it. Possibly a few plotholes, or at least script areas that could have been fleshed out a little further. But overall it was effective and well acted and atmospheric.

We're watching Beautiful Boy. So far it's about an 18 year old who went on a 2 day drug bender and has been forced into rehab by his dad. All I can say it's lucky these puritanical American dads weren't at UK universities in the 90s www.imdb.com/title/tt1226...

My wife hates old #TOTP. She's gone upstairs while I watch all the crap in the hope a Placebo or Skunk Anansie crop up. It's a fair response. We bemoaned it at the time. Why go through it again? *keeps watching*

If I was on The Apprentice and the task meant peeling 100kg of potatoes I would simply quit. No amount of future wealth is worth that.

Yes, it's the person who wrote the number down that's at fault and not the fuckwit who can't use a calculator 🙄 #TheApprentice

About time we had a Shang-Chi sequel. That was a good Marvel film.

Boiler engineer due tonight. The back office called me today and asked if I could drive 40 minutes to a gas engineering wholesalers to pick up a part on their behalf. I politely declined to do their job for them.

Interesting to see the Broccoli family giving up control of James Bond. Amazon will need to make their money back, so I'd expect to see more product - cartoons, lunch boxes, etc - as well as a production overhaul. It was overtaken by the likes of Jason Bourne 20 yrs ago. I think this is a good move.

Trump has finally gone there, he's anointed himself as royalty. He's already stated he's above the law. Next he'll invoke divine right and set up a line of succession.

Temporarily without heating and the house has dropped to a chilly 13C. The cats are walking around in their fur coats nonplussed.

Watching this. Honestly if you've got nothing new to say in zombie films you shouldn't make one. Despite a stellar cast and a great director, this is absolute yawnsville www.imdb.com/title/tt8695...

Sitting in a house with no heating tonight. Our boiler decided to break in the same week as we're having a heat pump installed - but just a bit earlier than the installation, leaving us with no heating for 2 nights. It's bloody freezing.
