I thought the ‘nut brown maid’ referred to a woman tanned and wizened by working in the sun, until my wife started hulling fresh walnuts before knowing that they have a semi-permanent stain.

My sole brush with screenwriting immortality was in 1986 when me & my mate Mark wrote a sketch for a BBC kids’ TV show called Fast Forward. Watched the show today. It is irredeemably awful. This is our sketch. They changed the end. We thought ours was better.

As has been the case with every holiday I’ve been on since I was about 7, I’ve spent all my pocket money on the first day & have to spend the rest of the week going round boring free attractions.

Bunk Johnson’s Original Superior Band … so, if they were the original, what were they superior to? And it suggests there were non-original Superior Bands, is the implication that they were inferior?

Funny how it’s always the shitty science fiction things that come true rather than the utopian dreams

Funny how the cast of Fame never went on to have much fame. I’d avoid that particular performing arts academy if I wanted to get on.
