As I do most of my shopping online these days, I thought I'd pop down to the shops today and buy a glove - just to keep my hand in.

Recently I came across a circular piece of black vinyl, about seven inches in diameter, with a small hole in the centre and a narrow groove spiralling inwards on each face. Is this a record?

In fiction, we’re taught that dialogue must serve to move the story forward. In real life, dialogue seems only to impede such progress.

If I put speech marks around the word 'shy', would they be introverted commas?

I understand there’s a horse with no name, but if we named him America that would definitely be confusing.

It was only a typing error on my part, I know that. But, really, when I was making enquires about patios, how could that building contractor seriously think I was asking his advice on Creole dialects of Jamaica?

I’m never sure how ‘spelled’ is spelt. Is it spelt ‘spelled’? Or is it spelled ‘spelt’?

Today we get a new Prime Minister, and somewhat EERILY and UNCANNILY, here's a peek at this week's Bash Street Kids in the Beano, out Wednesday. Script by me, art by Shannon Gallant.

There is something clever, original and imaginative on every page. And yet none of that gets in the way of the story. The best graphic novel I’ve read since I can’t remember when.

Though my old art teacher knew his subject well enough, he openly admitted to being overly obsessed with one particular period -- that of 17th century Italy. "If it ain't Baroque," he would say, "then don't fixate."

It was odd seeing John Cleese, Ben Whishaw, and John de Lancie together at that motorway service station. But the road signs earlier had warned us that queues would be likely.

'You Won't See Me' seems to be one of Paul McCartney's least well-known compositions, but I remember it as if it was yesterday.

Hard at work on my new epic poem, I was surprised by a phone call from my electricity supplier. They want to come and check my meter.

One of the characters spelling out the name on the back end of my sailboat is looking a bit worse for wear. I got in touch with the manufacturers, but I guess I must have violated the warranty somehow, because they’ve since told me they’ll be sending me a stern letter!

With all the equipment left over from my failed shoe-repair business, the first thing I need to do is decide what to get rid of—but it certainly won't be the last.

There's a notice in our hotel room: "If you've forgotten anything, just ask at Reception." But even they can't help me with my Netflix password.

Like a lot of people, I sometimes wonder what is the meaning of it all. So I looked in a dictionary. "It" means "The subject of an impersonal verb", and "All" means "Whole quantity or number". That's that sorted, then.

And hugely enjoyable it is, too. Great story and absolutely brilliant art! (Review on its way to Amazon.)
