I was idly looking up where York City were in their league table and saw that the bottom two sides are Truro and Gateshead. Man, that's a long away trip to see the worst two teams in the league

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.

I was just queueing for the self checkout at Sainsbury's and the staff guy clicked his fingers at me and silently pointed at a free one. I think he was even more surprised he'd done it than I was

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

A very happy birthday to Jennifer Ehle!
Her British TV roles in 90s are iconic, with the definite Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and the utterly different Calypso in The Camomile Lawn.
Every so often I see her in something (like the King's Speech) and am delighted to see her
