I tend to agree with Terry Pratchett's view. He famously said "There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write". His early profession was as a journalist for a local newspaper and he didn't get paid if he couldn't meet a deadline

Small venues, definitely. But some of my favourite bands are so big they are only available in large venues, and that's special too

Congrats! Mind you I think this list just proves Bob Dylan correct when he once commented that Alice Cooper is one of the most underrated songwriters. For him not to be included when some others on that list are is odd.

There were only 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers and it is arguably one of the funniest sitcoms of all time. 14 episodes was more than enough to establish the quality of the writing and the chemistry between the characters

Michael D. is a legend. Such a nice man. The live interview he did where his dog was lovingly trying to get his attention was fab. No shooing the pup away, just good natured patience while carrying out his presidential duties www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0j5...

What a sad state of affairs we've reached if people are choosing whether to watch or not watch shows based on the political affiliations of an actor connected to the shows. What next, going back and changing whether we like bands because one member happened to support a party we don't like?!

I reckon there's a lot of creative people on this site? So why not give FAWM a go this year? February Album Writing Month is a website where people come together to write 14 (or more) songs or lyrics in 28 days. It's great fun, with a very supportive community. No experience needed. #fawm fawm.org

Canada is the country that should be most worried. Think many thought Trump's claims that Canada should become another US state were just the offensive utterances of a madman. But if he takes Greenland by force, the Canadians should start to fortify their borders and quickly get nuclear weapons

Something that sticks in my mind is seeing Belfast's best band, Watercress, playing the Belfast Empire venue when the Peace process was at its height. Totally joyous vibe & I recall this old guy* dancing wildly as the band tore through their set. * Looking back, he was probably only in his 40s!
