Des is fab! I submit jokes each week. It's an open door show, so there's a pool of writers all writing to a weekly brief. Sometimes I get something on, and often I don't. But there are so many good writers that I'm chuffed to be in such great company.

BBC Three - Dinosaur Comedy about an autistic woman in her 30s navigating life's changes and challenges.

Just finished watching Dinosaur, series 2. Properly funny and so, so lovely. Great to see @kazbaaa.bsky.social in episode 6!

If you are a @mslexia.bsky.social subscriber, I recommend reading Zara Chang's fabulous poem. It crept into my head and will probably stay there for some time, encouraging me to write a list of my own.

Yup. Just lost it at β€œI’m lucky to have found my people.”

That’s the ticket.

The opening shot of Twin Peaks, but with "Richard Osman's House of Games" written on it instead. Not funny, but it's Sunday and I'm bored.

I did my undergraduate in Medieval Studies because of my interests, not because I thought it would get me a job. Ok, by the time I did my MA and PhD I may have had a better idea of what I wanted to do, but which employer would contribute? Other universities?!

Break the idea that study is for work!

Sorry, everyone, but since Andrew has been stripped of all his official titles, the correct way to refer to him now is using his Royal Protection Service nickname. I don’t make the rules.
