In the movies, the people who are writers only ever drink coffee and write. I could do that. They never have to work in their garden or take their cat to the vet or go shopping in Kaufland.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dyslexia... I wasn't poking fun.

I'm pleased to hear you've wandered a bit. They're all nice countries that you've visited, even if they don't have Maltesers.

Hawkwind

Posted on Mon, 01 Jul 2024

Hello Jenny.

The garden's tidy now but very bare. A rake, a shovel and a wheelbarrow was all we needed to do the job.

I hope Hawkwind fans won't be disappointed to learn that Priyatelkata's follow up single was Pasta Dutchie From...

Yes, ex Prime Minister

Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024

Nice one Paul. Your coincidental things would all be funny if they weren't such a scarily accurate description of the awful reality. And Sunak's still got a week to go so there's a strong possibility you'll have enough material for episode...
