Recurring nightmare where I’m forced to listen to this bizarre and dementedly told story/gag that is a feature on the steering wheel of my son’s racing game for seemingly no reason.
One of the best punting buzzes is when the early golf coverage randomly show the shot of an also-ran that you’ve bet for a side-market: you know either the cunt is holing it from 106 yards or it’s the absolute worst shot you’ve ever seen.
Masters 2026 means it’s 10 years since the most undignified moment in sports history: Danny Willett winning the Green Jacket whilst on his phone that he’s having to hold awkwardly to ensure it remains charging

I can’t stress this enough, as they say on the internet.
I’ve worked in telly comedy for almost 30 years of my life. A VETERAN.
There is nothing harder, in the telly game, than getting a new comedy show off the ground.
The reaction to a snippet of that new show, or a promo for it, is almost always wildly negative. Comedy always begins from a position of fighting up out of a trench into a hostile no-man’s-land. Bombs of “THIS WILL BE SHIT” landing all around you.
How often have you heard about a drama show - “It gets great five episodes in.”
When have you ever heard anyone EVER say that about comedy? You get one episode AT BEST. Usually, you get about ten minutes. Sometimes one look at your face is enough for people.
Basically, what I’m saying is - give telly comedy a chance! Don’t go in, all arms folded and grumpy. Most shows you see on TV are people reading off teleprompters and actors turning up to recite memorised lines. These comedy performers and writers will have been working like fuck to make you laugh. There is no harder working room in telly than that comedy room.
So PLEASE. Relax, be open, and give this and ANY OTHER NEW COMEDY a chance. It is only here to try to make you smile.
Clip here is fun. Godspeed to all involved!
