Gianni Infantino just has that unmistakable, grasping horridness of a local TV guy desperate to get a joke in while declaring his nation's Eurovision points.

My book Prestige Drama is out TODAY. It's a funny, angry book about Derry, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. But don't take my word for how good it is, look at all these lovely people saying that.

I'm in awe of all the hard work John and his team did to make this film so incredible. I'd also like to give a massive thanks to @Tribeca - and Whoopi Goldberg, specifically(!!) - for supporting it so emphatically. I am extraordinarily excited for people to see it!

The film stars Chris O'Dowd as me and Aisling Bea as my boss. And because of the insane genius of John Michell and Antagonist films, a diorama of me on ket serving drinks to Mary McAleese is now the banner image for @Tribeca's animated shorts program. tribecafilm.com/films/shorts…

So, 8 years ago, I told a story that changed my life. Shortly after, my pal John Michell asked if he could turn it into a film. Well, I'm DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been selected for @Tribeca's animated shorts roster this year.
Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. x.com/b3ta/status/9920006879…

This week, I try and fail to pick a side in the ever-tedious 'helicopter' vs 'free-range' parenting debate. I do probably coddle my children, but would I ever be brave enough to stop? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

I wrote this about anti-wokeness, which is nothing more than a rebadged do-over of the tedious political correctness panics of my childhood. On how anti-woke, like 'politically incorrect' before it, is just a politically correct term for 'a dickhead'. irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-…
