“15km bike ride,umpteen hours fighting Michael Shannon. He’s very hard to put down. Hard to tell who wins, we are still fighting tomorrow.”
“@alanthomasdoyle Stay around for the Saturday. That really is the only day I can guarantee you any time . I’m trying to save a planet here.”
“@alanthomasdoyle Alas, I’m no superhero.Just related to one.”
