(Along with a slightly different version of the anecdote, probably more accurate, as I wrote it closer to the event.)soundcloud.comJeffrey Archer Deserves a BiscuitI was challenged to write a song called 'Jeffrey Archer Deserves A Biscuit'. So I did and here's a rough recording of it. One of my happiest moments came last Summer just after I wrote this song. Jef 000
joecraiguk.bsky.social @joecraiguk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I once wrote a song called ‘Jeffrey Archer Deserves a Biscuit’. Soon after, he umpired a cricket match I was playing in. At tea, I passed him the biscuits. As I did, I said, ‘Jeffrey Archer deserves a biscuit.’ And he said, ‘I rather think he does.’ But I never got the chance to play him the song. 100

joecraiguk.bsky.social @joecraiguk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026All of them! But nothing as noticeable as that snooker/playstation switch, I think. My snooker scene has stayed snooker. I had to rewrite a laptop scene because laptops don’t have disc drives anymore. That kind of thing. 010
joecraiguk.bsky.social @joecraiguk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026It’s far from scientific and I do agree that, as an industry, it’d help to be basing things on actual evidence beyond my very individual reading and writing experience! 000
joecraiguk.bsky.social @joecraiguk.bsky.social · 27/05/2026In my case, it’s personal experience. It’s one of the (many) things, seemingly small, that used to stop me reading. I find it very helpful to carry that mindset into writing. 100

joecraiguk.bsky.social @joecraiguk.bsky.social · 19/12/2025We shared a publisher for several years. So I heard stories about certain kinds of behaviour and measures put in place to protect the big name. I’m being cagey for obvious reasons, so this is only to add that it’s surprised me how long it’s taken for some of this to start coming out. 010
