Writer, editor and proofreader for hire (even if we’re just dancing in the dark). Novelist, Watford fan, music lover.
Love this from Humanists UK. #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
We've teamed up with our patron Stephen Fry, to explore humanist ideas about some of life’s big questions in four animated shorts.

I spotted this too - it’s a disgrace.

Part of the essence of being a football fan is having a matchday routine that barely changes from year to year. Now we have to rethink it every sodding week.
This season, until Oct 5th, #watfordfc's home games were all at 3pm on a Saturday.

Since then, we've only had one at that time (4th Jan).

The next one will be August at the earliest.

Or perhaps we’ll never play one again.

(Chew on this while you’re missing your lunch again.)

Join me and tell Chancellor Rachel Reeves: no more airport expansion while we’re in a climate emergency 🚨🌎

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted.
Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.
