Haven’t written anything on here since Boxing Day last year.

Now I have.

That’s me being sociable.

See you in April I guess? 😂

Sometimes I talk in nonsense
I talk in wobbly wibbles
I open up my mouth
But what comes out
Is bobbly bibbles

Merry Christmas poetical dudes. Hope you’re having a good day. Jingly love to one and all. 🎄❤️
STICK A FORK IN ME, I’M DONE
The guests were stuffed 
Like the turkey was 
And groaning filled the air
As Grandad snored 
The gas of sprouts
Leaked out without a care
The telly showed
A constant stream
Of shows filmed in September
As hands went up
For yet more cheese
A Christmas to remember…

It’s getting much closer to #Christmas
The tension’s beginning to rise
Presents and paper
Baking and more
The list grows in front of our eyes

But remember the reason we do it
The who and the why and the where
Connection with friends
Where the love never ends
Our season of annual care

Dear Rishi,
Talk to them about their pay.
Enough is enough.

Excerpt from “Clapping doesn’t pay the bills”

We’ve worked them
Till they’re on their knees
Knowing
That they live to please
They live to help
And live to give
The always there
And always with

So give them thanks
And give them praise
And pities sake
Give them a raise
Show you’re with them
Give a like
And spread the word

SUPPORT THE STRIKE

Out exploring in the snow… Almost tempted to leave it open just to see what happens!
2 quid? Worth the risk dude…
When they all lash out in unison,
Give ‘all that you deserve’
When they will not stop
And double down
You know you’ve struck a nerve…

When you have an insomniac cat and you have to get up at 5am there’s sometimes no other option than to sit down and watch a documentary together.

Q. Is there any other profession other than writer/poet where upset as a result of your work constitutes ’a job done well’?
And fellow writers.. have any of you ever been able to fathom out how to balance mentally the pride of a job done well with the guilt of making people cry?
I did a good job today. I feel awful. 😞

We’ve just seen this at the cinema. We’re reviewing it on our radio show tomorrow night but without giving away too many spoilers…it’s Santa Claus the Movie meets Home Alone meets Thor meets Die Hard meets Texas Chainsaw massacre. So very much up our street.

Tis the season for such things after all. 😂
