I am confused by the ads that are now showing in the right pan on my X feed. One for a bra, followed by one for nail fungus, and now a knife. None of these have I spoken about or searched for, so not driven by my algorithms. And no way to turn them off.

First there was a yell, then an explosion, that was probably thunder, but it didn't sound like it. Then, minutes later, a scream. Oh Tottenham.

A caller told me I had been involved in a hit and run accident and had fled the scene. They are prosecuting me in the Court of European law. Strange that considering I don't have a car and the UK isn't in the EU anymore.

Here's how those who vote for you know who get out of that bind, psychologically. All you did was vote for the wrong person FOR THE RIGHT REASON. They're still the wrong person, it doesn't make your reason or you wrong. They were just the wrong person at the wrong time.

We were visited last night by guests from Washington DC. The first thing they did was apologise on behalf of regular Americans for the complete shitshow of a presidency.

The script reading panel is going to be starting up again soon. Have the first ten pages of your screenplay table read by actors. First time round we ran for several years for free. This time there will be a small fee. See our work on youtube.com/@londonshirefilm… and get in touch.

Why are trainers called trainers? Like do they think we're all in training to wear proper shoes?

Why does no one know who Gore Vidal is any more? Mention his name and it's crickets. Nada, Zip. Is no one left alive that knows just how bloody brilliant he was?

The madness of having a housing manager who is so young they still live at home with their parents.

The idiocy of sending 3 different people to check 1. gas, 2. water, 3. fire alarms, when in fact the man checking the gas does the other two as a matter of course.

AI is what happens when you let the mathematicians run wild. Rein them in with unbridled creativity.

“A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”
-G. K. Chesterton

I'm sorry but I have to say this is ridiculous. In Shakespeare's day men played all the roles, including the 'female' parts. This new play therefore is not testing new ground. It's not testing any ground. metro.co.uk/2026/04/12/all-t…

Just imagine if the intelligence humans have that sent humans to the moon was put to good use to oust the demented man who would be king from his throne.

The burning question is: were the Wombles hoarders or recyclers?
I'm mean, 'making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind'.

Substack is great. It's also not so great. It's a clear space to talk about writing. It's also peopled by a lot of people who have a slim grasp of storytelling. Fertile ground you'd think to help them learn. They don't want to. They're a support group for moaners.

A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’
