I am going across the UK for another book tour - that means you don’t have to pay much to see me but I never shirk in terms of making it feel like a show - Tring, Pontypridd, Edinburgh, Helston - loads loads more robinince.com

Big, beautiful, long balls.

Zico, Eder and Junior laughing and having pints.

For All Mankind - oh yus.

Italy play-off for a World Cup place later tonight. Never forget Brazil, 1982. Shithouses then and shithouses now.

Worth a read, I think:

Good to see BBC News have referred to Pete Hegseth as the “Minister of Defence”.

As Barry points out, no the speech featured in this blog IS NOT A PARODY! I used ChatGPT as a tool and it came up with that old toot.

You will never finish your chores and obligations because life is a succession of one tedious fucking thing after another until you die, scientists have confirmed.

Thank you to all the people who supported me. If you know you know 👍👍

Only 99p on Kindle today: my eleventh novel, the imaginatively-named Number 11. (Which, in order to achieve better sales, I should really have called What a Carve Up 2: the Return of the Winshaws.) This is the one Ken Loach read and said he wouldn't film because 'I don't really do giant spiders'.

Second series of Jury Duty is excellent.

Matt is much better at his job than any ai and requires substantially less cooling.

I need a sun hat and that’s it.

Pete Hegseth? Pissed Dogbreath, more like.

My London solo gig went on sale this week - tickets here www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/com...

Fascinated by Marco Rubio’s hairline. It’s almost entirely without substance or form. It is liminal, unreachable: a madman’s lilo. A cow’s memory of war

Feeling like a #Clarksshoes kinda day today 🤩 #Adidas in car just in case🤣

@okeating.bsky.social Thanks you Oonagh!

AMAZING SALE EVERYONE!

So the air goes out of the comedy writing business in TV (for everyone apart from around 10 people) so you pick up scraps and have to adapt your skills. With me I built a solid wedding speech business with which I got by. In one year AI has pretty much destroyed it. It’s an absolute shitshow.

This time last year - 10 speeches in March. This year, 2 in March. AI can go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

I’m here for George’s jacket

Nigel Farage definitely says “wacky-baccy”.

Number crunching: Compensation to (unconvicted) victims of the Post Office scandal v compensation paid to Peter Mandelson on being sacked as US ambassador. From the new Private Eye, out now.

SALE ON! WEEKEND ONLY!

Visited Wythenshawe Hospital last week for a CT scan. The area around the hospital was littered with poxy flags. Painfully ironic that those who stoke the patriotic fires are the same people who want to dismantle the NHS and flog it to the highest bidder.

London tickets here

If you know anyone who’s dreading putting together their wedding speech - send them my way! www.mathew-owen.co.uk If you can re-post this I’d really appreciate it 👍

Buy your own little CSNY fatheads from the Etsy outlet of @heykidsshop.bsky.social, make them take drugs and have fights etc.

If anyone wants to listen to me talking under over and about my new novel Drum you can do so here. Host Graham Chalmers thinks it's the best novel ever written about a comedian but as Samuel Beckett once said "I wouldn't go that far." podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/e...
