A mildly productive waste of ten minutes every Friday.

Hang on,
how does
that work?

A weekly newsletter from a bloke who isn't an expert in anything. Something gets stuck in my head, I go and find out about it, then I write it down. Friday mornings.

The name isn't a metaphor

What goes on in a ManBrain

The brain in question

Average male brain. Infinite storage for song lyrics and the 2004 league table, none whatsoever for which spray goes on which surface. This comes from inside it.

Small things, taken far too seriously

Meat on a fire. Reversing onto the drive in one go without touching the kerb. Nobody else is giving these the attention they deserve, so I do.

Questions you ask out loud and never answer

Why has everyone suddenly started eating protein? You wonder for eight seconds, the kettle boils, and it's gone forever. I'm the idiot who goes and finds out.

Nothing here to fix about you

You're not a project. There's no plan for you and no morning routine. Worst case, you come away knowing what APR means.

Ten minutes, once a week

Friday morning. About one coffee, or one visit to the only room in the house with a lock on the door. Then it leaves you alone for six days.

Something to send your mates

There's usually a bit you'll forward with no message attached. Just the link. He'll get it.

Hang on, how does that work?
