Rode the New York subway today, surrounded by characters who looked like they belonged in The Sopranos. One with sausage fingers, a huge guy with a bald head and stary eyes and one I didn’t dare look at, but he was probably the clean-up guy.

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.

Hey, I have an idea for a non-viable business too, can I lobby the government to change the laws so I too can rip off other peoples’ hard work?
