Meet them halfway

Have received a full-blown critique of Off Their Trolleys, which is a play about supermarkets. Sort of. And how have to set about putting it right. Have been doing much thinking about what I can… 

War on the humourless

There is a wonderful middle-east style tension at work today. I guess every office has a patronising, loud, obnoxious imbecile with all the intelligence of a half-bitten peanut. No, it’s not me. Anyway, said person… 

Medical miracle

Our neighbour, Liz, appears to have walked off the set of League of Gentlemen. I am expecting Steve Pemberton to wipe off the make-up and clamber out of her one day, during an inane conversation…

Hard-core Benny Hill
