@GaryDelaney @Baddiel You’d better mention whose wife was of invaluable assistance with this!

@PremSportsIRL @PremSportsTV @leinsterrugby wtf? Stop showing highlights and start explaining why it’s not being broadcast.

[Caimh McDonnell @Caimh]

@PremSportsIRL @PremSportsTV @leinsterrugby Wtf is happening? Surely put up something to explain why the broadcast isn’t happening. This is total incompetency.

[Caimh McDonnell @Caimh]

@happyhillers Delighted to hear you enjoyed it. Very much not the end of the stranger times. 🫡

@JFowlerESPN @toddarcher It feels like you don’t understand what the word verbal means.

@IanHCampbell1 @patmccarry Of those 12 straight loses, how many are you pinning on the refs?

Frankly, it feels like a weird day for Amazon UK to make a book about vampires deal of the day but well…
Sacralicious!

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

Welcome to SERENITY FALLS! My new novel is finally here and available to pre-order: https://t.co/4P6zNczkJL. I would love you to come visit. But remember, once you’re here, you’re here to stay . . .

[Caimh McDonnell @Caimh]

@rushworth_peter They’re all being processed and should be on their way. I know I’ve signed a lot of books and they’re no longer here!

[Caimh McDonnell @Caimh]

Happy Paddy’s day. And to quote the man himself “holy shite, Caimh has a new book out, we should all buy it immediately.” There’s a reason he’s a saint - potty mouth though. (Available in paperback & e-book now - audio coming very soon)

@rushworth_peter Loads of books have gone out. If you ordered a signed copy it should be with you soon.

In 2014, I was annoyed standing in front of magazine racks at train stations that there was nothing that appealed to me. The usual ‘women’s magazines’ didn’t speak to me and were too centred on beach bodies, white trousers and which fruit my body resembled.

Add to this that I love women. Ever since I worked for WHSmith and then the Jobcentre, I’ve been surrounded with women at work. When I got into comedy, those numbers dropped dramatically (they’re better now hoo-fucking-ray). So I started setting up small work places full of women. My TV series, my new material gig, writers’ rooms, my radio shows. Women, women, women.

I decided to do something about the lack of magazines for women like me (whatever that means) and thus create another all-women work space, a healthy, more interesting and feminist alternative to the magazines that were out there.
And thus began Standard Issue Magazine, edited by the fantastic Mickey Noonan. We were lucky enough to have some incredible women write wonderful articles for us. And the whole thing was run by 12 awesome women.

In 2017, I decided it was time to move with the times and we became a podcast @StandardIssueUK. The team: Mickey Noonan, Hannah Dunleavy and Jen Offord have since created over a thousand brilliant episodes of a podcast that treats women like they have brains, because we do, and are interested in the world. We are for women, by women, about everything. And we shine a light on some incredible sports women, journalists, playwrights, entrepreneurs, heck, all sorts of women from all walks of life who have something to say.

Standard Issue is a podcast championing women's voices, and packed with interviews, news, film, opinion and humour.

And on this International Women’s Day, I’d love you to give it a listen. Or comment on this post if you have listened. Or share it with your followers. It all helps. We hope you enjoy it. We’re super proud of it.

I feel this way about this project every day but today feels like a good day to shout about excellent women and their work.
