I started this post because I reposted something by Paul Sinha saying you can’t get spotted in Edinburgh now unless you’re loaded or your parents are. Comedy used to be a great way for people with no connections to start. It isn’t now.

I know people have been a bit Leave! Nepo Babies! Alone! lately but god I’ve just read the cast list of the new Inspector Lynley series. Sorry working class actors. There’s always am-dram every Thursday at the community centre.

So, this country with a despotic head of state that has no freedom of speech and abuses its citizens with the police, remind me again which country that was?

I just introduced my 29 year-old nephew to a sublime Debussy piano piece, from the Images. He said it sounded like it was from Zelda, "when she's in the forest" and you know, people are funny aren't they.

Sorry, 'Twitter'? God where have you been? It's called 'NUC' now. Why? Because 'Nazis Undressing Children' is just too long-winded.

Friends,
Just wanted to let you know where things are with the podcast. I'm having a break for a while... I was planning on ploughing on into 2026 but the last month or so has left me feeling underwhelmed and lacking the oomph to carry on.

Excellent point here about Brian and Roger.
I honestly feel that selected episodes of this should be used as a tool in therapy for people who are too easily railroaded into doing things they don't want to.

I wondered if it was true that Trump has bombed 7 different countries in a year so I looked it up, it is. And he calls himself the "peace president". 😡 Why won't anyone stop him? Surely there's a way.

For what it’s worth one of my favourite how to write books is Release The Bats by DBC Pierre. What Pierre realised that ironically many creative writing books forget is make your creative writing book readable.
