I have a new story on BBC Radio 4 - Friday 23 Jan - and then on catchup Elevator pitch - a comedy about love, entropy and a ceremonial badger I’d love for you to give it a listen www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Brilliant, Dani. Great tribute to an outstanding writer. Let’s hope the centenary celebrations bring Agnes Owens to a much wider audience. A Working Mother is a work of art.

Agree. It's the same in the UK. Despicable greed.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Time Out on Finnieston. Pure waffle from London 🤪 😂 "Today ‘WeMo’ (West of Motorway), as local Wags have dubbed it, is the city’s go-to hipster hub. The savvy set from Byres Road have upped sticks here, bringing their creativity and energy."
