I've been writing a film script with my writing partner and Bluesky sceptic, Mike Arber. My printer is used to 30 page sitcoms. Pretty sure I heard it crying earlier, which is a good sign for a rom com, right?

If you missed this week's #TheSkewer here it is on BBC Sounds. And it even includes a couple of bits from us having a go at Keir, which he probably deserves.

Anyone, and there's effing loads of us, that didn't manage to get anything on tonight's episode of BBC DMs Are Open; @5teviem.bsky.social has written some excellent words which will hopefully offer some comfort.

Congrats! It's so tough getting on this show. The BBC should hand out a 'double credit'. Just reread my entry for this week and I can 100% say rejection was a sound move! Keeping em crossed for next week. Great cast too - looking forward to it.

Not only have I got a favourite tea towel, but I find myself putting it to the top of the pile after washing it, so I use it more often. It's an absolute belter of a tea towel though. The phrase 'absolute belter' answers the 2nd question.

Came to your second show this afternoon with my grumpy teenager, who forgot he's grumpy and laughed his ass off for an hour at his 1st ever comedy show. We loved it.
