Aawww, I’m so sorry you miss Fergus and I’m sad that you miss my contribution to the show. But thank you so much for the love and support, I’m really happy you liked what I did and so glad it connected with you! Thank you!

1. THANK YOU (I’m working on it) 2. Aaww shucks. But I should put my academic resume up as well, yes? 3. I get around 🧐 But genuinely, thank you. It’s great to get feedback (especially for WIP) ❤️

Oh no, a kelpie is a Scottish water horse. The creature in the photo is not a kelpie.

So if you follow me on insta, you’ll have seen the photo of me as the naked lumberjack from a few years ago. I didn’t think this was the right platform for the photo, but do tell me if I’m wrong. And don’t share it if you’ve seen it, play fair everyone 🤘

Website updated again. I’ve added a page about my academic side hustle up to 2024, the GOALD project. There’s also a short film showing you a little of what I tried to do on the project. I’m going to add a little about why it’s important soon Find it here www.johnritchieactually.com/goald-project

Aww, maybe say it to production..? I don’t think they’ll ever do it though (happy to be proved wrong). 🧐

Finally, I am the right way round. Maybe explain that later

Oh! My bad, sorry! That’s on the insta feed bit, I forgot about that! There’s a whole page of dog now…

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Sweet! But that one isn’t on the website…

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

There are pictures of the dog on the website! Ok people, don’t all rush at once! Oh, you have to look quite hard to find them though. But they are there www.johnritchieactually.com

Do you get shoe compliments? I do if I’ve got my nice ones on. The lighting ain’t great, but the shoes are

Hey! Website is slowly coming together. If you’ve managed to look at any of it so far, please let me know what you think and what you want to see or have me write about. Also, tell me, cameo - yes/no? Or just through the site/not at all? Cheers, happy Wednesday (?)

Ok, that’s the first update on the website done. Added a bio and am sorting through photos for a gallery section to go up later this week. Site is www.johnritchieactually.com I know, but Rome wasn’t built in a day either…

It certainly will be. Go on, argue with yourself (and then mark it)

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ah, well, y’know, some folk are liking them, some folk aren’t. There’s a lot of folk who watched the show who don’t even remember Fergus (or insist on calling him ‘Ferguson’ for some reason 🤷). There was a lot of folk didn’t like Fergus. Showbiz!

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Oh no, that sector is almost done over here. Huge jobs cuts all round, courses and programmes being cancelled, strike action. The whole thing went to that place in a handcart a couple of years ago. Voluntary severance is the norm, or you’re just redundant. Tough sector to get anything in now

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Yeah, I can track whenever there’s any traitors news by the IMDb and my massively fluctuating rating. It’s also pretty hard to avoid it on socials (!) Tell everyone stateside I said hi and Fergus said nothing 😁

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

And a week later, I’ve gone even higher! I should stop all work maybe? 😵‍💫🫣😂😂 Actually, any work would be good right now - anyone got anything for me?

Oh Reddit, the best place to go have a brain fart in public 😂

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Ah man. Hey, at least it’s getting better. It may be a long, slow process but you’ll get there. Take care. And yeah, I’m getting some work, always going, cheers!

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Thank you! I assume you like the sense of humour (note spelling) that’s involved? Also, how’s your back now? Getting better?

Oh that was me trying to show that AI is just plagiarism and not controlled. It’s ridiculous

Hey all. Website is getting worked on, for just now, this is all there is. Unless it’s all gone wrong, that could happen. I mean, the photo there has trimmed itself. Oh I loathe technology 🫣 www.johnritchieactually.com

Aw thank you. I’m really glad you liked what I did on the show but hey, showbiz, eh!

That’s my IMDb Star Meter. Gone up nearly 30k places in one week. Presumably for a show I’m no longer on 🧐

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Ah, thank you! Let’s see what happens 🧐

John Ritchie. Does stuff @johnr73.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I’ll see what I can do. If the dog stands still long enough 😂

Hey kids! Look out for my website update announcement soon. It’s tired and old (me too) so I’m going to go through it and add some stuff, delete some stuff, add a page for my writing/musings, and maybe, just maybe, talk about that thing I’m not doing anymore. Any requests?

Hey, that’s really sweet of you to say! Hope you have a great day though

#1980s apparently it’s a thing so here’s a T-shirt from that decade (yes, it’s mine and yes, it still fits)

Should have posted this yesterday as it was the fifth anniversary of the idiot on a bit of string moving in with us. He was a tiny round puppy and he still is, other than not being round. Or tiny. He’s an idiot, but he’s MY idiot.

Now home after a day of near constant travel and lots of hanging about in airports. There’s wine!

What awful time of day is this to be off on travels… Not really an early morning person
