So much of modern life doesn’t seem to be working, but the fact that most ads on podcasts are 30 or 60 seconds long, and podcast apps have a +30s button, is a beautiful piece of symmetry.

If there's a patriarchy, then how come spelling bee accepts both 'mama' and 'mamma' but no spelling of 'dadda'?

My book has received ‘starred’ reviews in Kirkus and Publishers Weekly in the US. I’m told this is quite a big deal. Preorder now!

I’m not saying this is what I want to happen, but it does rather make the case that in order to improve British healthcare, we need British politicians to get all the major diseases.

So many England fans happy for Scotland qualifying in such a fantastically dramatic way. Nice to return the favour for the delight they must have felt for us when Beckham scored that free kick against Greece.

Now, it’s highly possible that tomorrow I read the two chapters I wrote today and decide they’re rubbish, but I sure as shit enjoyed writing them. One of those nights where I am enormously grateful to be (currently) making a living writing books.

Breaking News: I've just been told that if you're in the UK and you'd like the chance to read my book I'm Not The Only Murderer In My Retirement Home early, you can now request a NetGalley (a way of getting books early and for free, which I don't fully understand). Link below...

I still think the best Traitors season was the Australian series 2 which everyone else seemed to think was a disaster. Incredible, incredible television.

Always amazed by people who have watch parties for their favourite TV shows. If I was ever forced to attend one, it would be remembered for me shouting ‘CAN EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE?’

I have, perhaps unwisely, written about London... ferguscraig.substack.com/p/london-is-...
London is a matter of taste, that's all.
Have you noticed people talking a lot of shit about London lately?

The Boybands Forever and Girlbands Forever documentaries are brilliant but it is a tragedy that, owing to their mixed gender nature, there is no place for Steps.

If I was on the Traitors, every roundtable would be about the fact I refuse to go on the missions because I want to stay and play snooker.

How is Britain supposed to survive now with only Prince William, Prince George, Prince Louis, Prince Harry, Prince Archie, Prince Edward, Prince James, Prince Richard, Prince Edward (Duke of Kent) and Prince Michael of Kent? That's only ten princes!

The Riyadh Comedy Festival is so commercial now. Accommodation, flyering and PR costs are insane. And yet, if you want to be seen by producers, you have to go. And now, people like me, who’ve been doing it for years can’t sell tickets because big acts are turning up.

Absolutely loved this, it resonated on so many levels.
Although I think I was a bit more snobbish about my precious Oasis suddenly being loved by the jocks who had despised nerdy Indie kid Bobbins as much as I despised them.
