Had a great time last night at the sporting retirement of one of my oldest friends (and total legend) @hailfabio1. Congratulations on such an amazing career, Stephen, and all the best for the future. We’ve come a long way since infant school at Percy Hedley! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went down a super steep slope at Warwick castle on Tuesday and my watch said I went 18mph. Had far too much fun! It it was a bit more rounded at the bottom (and easy to get up!) I’d go down this too!
I really wanna try going down that... With a crash helmet and people holding an open space at the bottom so 35 stone of metal and flesh don't injure anyone other than me 🤣
Looks like Wetherspoons stairs of death to go to the toilet
Can’t wait for this one! See you at the @twistedtaproom in Norton next month with these other lovely funny people. Ticket link in my bio, and on my stories and highlights. Or simply write the word ‘tickets’ in the comments to be sent a link via DM!
