The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

I definitely thought this was much older.

Although this is a pretty close runner-up!

Hard to beat!

My book sales have dropped off this month, which finds me in self-promotion mode.

If you haven't already checked out Kayfabe: A Mostly True History of Professional Wrestling, or if you're after a present for the wrestling fan or niche history fan in your life, here it is:

I was just about to post this! I loved that the whole Raven persona was all a facade over a spoiled rich boy.

As opposed to Twitter, which is of course full of lively debate and not incessant right-wing hate, decapitation videos and ads for the worst products you can imagine.

If the Internet is a big plate of shite - and it is - at least let me have the equivalent of a fucking condiment.

Kind of fucked up that there is only one song about the Return of the Mack. Feels like it'd be a bigger deal.

My two besties.

…Damn!

This episode is great, and also features a sponsorship from my podcast!

Please repost (retweet) stuff on here. Once that stopped on Twitter, we comedians didn’t feel the platform was working for us. I know it’s a wank thing to ask to publicise us, but we need it and we publicise loads of other things. Isn’t reposting a comedian better than reposting outrage? I hope so.

My Twitter is gone! Just way too grim these days. Plus it also deletes a lot of my terrible early attempts at being funny, which is great for me and my street cred as a good comedian.
