Massive thanks to everyone who’s watched the shows, listened to the podcast, read the columns, enjoyed the tweets or written lengthy blogs about a joke they didn’t understand.

Here’s a few personal highlights from 2022… Making a show for the BBC with @EamonnDonohoe and contributions from @marknelsoncomic, @E_Caproni and @ChrisMcQueer_

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE SPARTA

Twas the night before Sparta, and outside the ground

Not a game plan was brewing, no hope to be found

(1/15) A star soon appeared, on a move he was keen

He’s felt that way since 2019

Are YOU allowed to criticise Neil Lennon?

A 'Choose your own adventure' thread.

1. Are you below the age of 35? If you said ‘Yes’, your adventure is over and you are not allowed to criticise Neil Lennon.

If you said ‘No’, you may proceed to question 2.

A few years ago, I saw Stewart Lee at @StandComedyClub in Edinburgh. He was doing a bit about how Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution, but you shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking every animal you ever see is making some political point...

(1/6) He said something along the lines of “When you see Ben Fogle holding a swan on Animal Park, don’t assume the swan represents communism. Sometimes a swan is just a swan”...

If your first thought upon hearing a black man’s views on tackling racism is ‘Huns will be raging lol’ you really need to give yourself a shake

My @GLiveSport column on Jermain Defoe and how point-scoring when footballers talk about race achieves nothing

glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football… Image Instead of listening to and engaging with the concerns of black people, some people are only worried about their football team looking good and their football team's rivals looking bad.

I wrote a piece on 12th saying Old Firm should be cancelled and said same thing on radio on 13th. Got several ‘This is why we listen to medical experts, not sports writers’ comments. The game got called off 4 hours later and no-one’s kicked a ball since

glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football… Obviously I’m not an expert, as I said at the time, but the amount of ‘It’s just a flu’ comments doing the rounds even at that point blew my mind. I’ve called plenty of things wrong, but this just seemed so blindingly obvious

Two divorcees have been dating for a couple of years. They've been through a lot, but it led to them finding each other.

(1/8) He's still fighting with his ex about seeing the kids. He loves them, but she hates him.

With the benefit of hindsight, he understands why.
