Someone out there was the first person ever to sarcastically say "living the dream" when their colleague walked by and asked them how they were getting on. Imagine the laugh it got.
Whenever I'm with my pals, all we talk about is how much we want a third runway at Heathrow. Truly we will never know happiness until it is built. Jeremy, thank you.
Got asked for ID in the shop earlier. Gave the guy it and he burst out laughing. I went, "Aw my name's a belter eh?" and he goes, "Yer name? I'm talking aboot yer picture, pal!"
A very humbling experience.
I worked in Subway when I was 16. One day these two lassies come in and one says to me, "Can you show her what six inches looks like?"
I hit the biggest beamer ever and the other lassie shouted, "Omg he's got a riddy!" and every single person in the shop turned to stare at me
People like JK Rowling and Graham Linehan have the money and time to quietly live the best lives in the world and they choose to just constantly and loudly proclaim how transphobic they are. Have a fucking day aff and sort yourselves out. Try and get some sense into your heids.
Hated my step da with a passion and used to try and get my maw to split up with him so I told her he'd been taking drugs. When she questioned how I knew this and what proof I had I said, "I saw it written in his calendar."
Imagine writing "buy drugs" on a calendar.
How extra were YOU as a teenager? I was “rehearsing breaking up with people I wasn’t even in a relationship with, in a mirror” extra. I would very much like to know what weird shit you did when you were 14/15 that seemed fine at the time but looking back is absolutely batshit.
North West Ambulance bosses have apologised for a video where paramedics re-enacted a viral video of dancing pallbearers... “We appreciate that those involved did not mean to cause offence, but this video is highly inappropriate... we are dealing with the matter internally”
I was working in JJB Sports on Valentines day 2012 when news of Rangers going into administration broke. A boy, maybe about 12, said to his pal, "That's us in administration," and a grown man spun round and went, right into his face, "IT'S LIQUIDATION, PAL!"
Thinking about how there'll be some poor soul working behind a bar tonight, forgetting that the clocks go back. It'll get to 1:59am and they'll be like "thank fuck, no long left now" then boom instead of hitting 2am it goes back to 1am.
Three stories from my first book Hings have been made into short films and will be up on the BBC iPlayer soon. They've turned out so class and I can't wait to show yous them
Had this idea for a story that I'll probably never write but this lassie finds a wee dying bee and gives it some of her can of Monster which sorts it out but then the bee turns into a big goth
Have to say I do not agree with what's being said here. If you're from a scheme, have experience with alcoholism etc and want to write about that then absolutely do it. These are stories that deserve to be told and there's space for them.
Fed up getting hit with a pure attitude and snidey replies when I chase up money I'm owed for work I've done. Please accept my humblest apologies for wanting to be paid ffs
Been working on this novel for four years, went through dozens of drafts trying to get it right and two computers in the process but now it's finally finished. What a feeling it was to be able to type 'the end' on something for the first time in a long time 🎉
Say it every year but that week or so after Christmas where you get to wear brand new, right out the packet pants and socks every day is amazing. A real thrill to get ready every morning
"Anyway here's how I would feed my children if I was a young parent living in extreme poverty and yet somehow also had the knowledge of a wealthy but miserable 55 year old middle class person."
Laughing at the memory of being in the McDonald's drive thru with my step da when the McFlurry first came out here. Me going "aw get us a McFlurry please," and him replying, furiously, "AM A FUCK SAYING THAT."
Vanessa got in my motor the other day and said "did you hear that the guy who invented autocorrect died today?" I was like aw that's a shame before she added, very solemnly, "may he roast in piss"
Good morning folks! Here's today's GT front page as a heartbroken family beg for justice almost a decade on from their son's death to a single punch

Imagine a wee book dropped through your door one day and it was full of excerpts from strangers' group chats slagging you and actual quotes from people who don't like you
Remember walking down this hill with my maw when I was a wee boy and holding on to a pole at the top, screaming, cause I was scared if I let go I'd just go rolling right down it
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the absolute best comedy on the telly by some distance. Only about to start the fourth series and it just keeps getting better and better
“I’d like to call out Labour as liars. I am one of the people he will tax more”
This audience member, who earns over £80,000, criticises the taxation promises in the Labour Party manifesto.

Surreal as anything getting Hings made for the telly. Thanks to all the cast & crew & everyone behind the scenes. Thanks to everyone who bought, borrowed or stole and read the book, shared any of my stuff on here and supported me along the way, yous are all stars. Cheers troops x
Absolutely fair play to the guy last night who said hiya to me then gave my burd a cuddle and told her to "give him a shout" if I "treat her badly".
I'm right here big man fucking hell
Jon Dahl Tomasson would improve any film if he was recast as the main villain. Chilling delivery, an unnerving presence about him and that smirk, my god.
🗣️"That's a good answer isn't it?"
Malmo boss Jon Dahl Tomasson says Rangers are the favourites for the second-leg of their Champions League qualifier but was in a mischievous mood at the end when asked who was under more pressure👀👇
Going to have to uninstall Football Manager. Just absolutely consumed by it at the minute. Sitting here unable to sleep because I don't think I'll be able to land Martin Ødegaard permanently after his loan deal expires.
Was doing a gig in a jail last week and I was telling a story about a prison guard. A guy in the front row put his hand right up and went, "Screws mate. They're called screws, no guards." Shat myself a wee bit no gonnae lie
Absolutely buzzing to announce that I've got a new book coming out this November. More short stories and this time they're longer, darker and even weirder. HWFG x
