Cricket TV things I wish were on YouTube; Phil Edmonds bowling two bouncers in a row and Richie Benaud getting annoyed. Graham Gooch’s bowling impressions in a Test Match. Tony Lewis saying “Fuck sakes” on a live broadcast Simon Hughes getting smacked for six in that Lord’s final

Watching an old Place In The Sun. A property developer with a million quid to spend - the voiceover keeps banging on about the fact the couple are “workaholics”. How come it’s always entrepreneurs who are called “workaholics”, and not someone holding down three minimum wage jobs.

The fact the Celtic v Hearts game is more appealing to the majority of English football fans is a damning indictment of the people who run the game south of the border.

One of the things I really like about SNL UK is a lack of “Posh is thin/Becks is thick” route one topical gags. I think this is down to a fresh writers room. New voices - spot-on.

If you'd like to be a paid subscriber, you've no idea what a difference it'd currently make. E.g. just ten subscribers paying the price of a coffee once a month would cover my electric bill. No extra content for paid subs - I want to run what Blindboy calls a system based on soundness. Thanks.

My advice to people starting out as comedy writers for radio and telly - nothing about character or story arcs, beats and all that old flannel. Just get on with people and don’t be a twat. Take it from me.

Interesting chat in the pub about The Good Life and what a fantastic character Jerry is for rejecting Tom’s offer of a home made parsnip soup in favour of “going to the pub for a ploughman’s”. Jerry will never be bettered.

It is completely mad that we did this to ourselves. Where is the benefit in stopping independent, small, creative businesses from trading in the EU? Oh, and take a look at Gail's designs, they're fab.
