Dear @mrdavidreed.bsky.social , is there any chance of you ever making more episodes of Inside The Comedian? It's my favourite podcast and I've listened to maybe half a dozen episodes every night for years. No worries if not x

I joined Nemesis at the hatching once. Turns out he's a really attentive father. It was heartwarming.

I had to construct a minutely detailed list of legal infringements and threats of both civil and criminal action to get my deposit back on a flat. They'd been making excuses for a month. After I sent that message, they returned my deposit literally within one minute. I still feel smug about it.

I'm from Sheffield in the 70s so, I believe their full name is Dirty, Dirty Leeds. (I've never had any interest in football, so there's no malice or judgement when I say that)

This is such an unforgivably fierce game! I'm very, very old and this really harks back to the old days when games were insanely difficult. Love it!

I see Meta Ethics is trending - is it because it's the greatest oxymoron ever created?
Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
So he just finds a way to dismiss everyone that doesn't agree with him, right?

I'm not entirely sure that the motivation to explore space should rely on enforced procreation but, y'know, I'm just an old hippy.

Just listened to Hangover Terrace - I'm SO sorry I didn't look into your work earlier. It's truly beautiful. And sad. And melancholic. And f*kin brilliant.

Out of curiosity, how many sketches get cut? He strikes me as someone that writes at least 45 mins of material for every 30 minute show.
Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
My sister went to see the live show and said the goldfish sketch involved SO many Sainsbury's carrier bags. Who says sketch comedy is too expensive for TV these days?!

When I heard (and loved) Song No. 6 by you and @anebrun.bsky.social , I absolutely meant to look more into your work. Then I totally forgot about it. Now you've reminded me, I'm going in...!

Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
I can see why he'd switch from watching 6 half-hours to one 45 mins a year! I actually listened to last year's last night. The one about the village. I've had the song "We All Win With 'Alan'" stuck in my head all damn day!

I won one of these from the Star Wars comic. The challenge was to make words out of "Luke Skywalker". As my dad had a huge, two volume, tiny print dictionary, my brother and I took turns going through it and ended up with 12,000-ish words. Second place was in the 300s Once a nerd...

I have a question for @beefanddairy.bsky.social Is the plural of 'beefcake' 'beefcakes' or 'beevescake'?

Oh, damn. See, I'm autistic and I struggle with some things sometimes that literally everyone else in the world would understand. It can make social media quite the challenge, at times. OK, I'm gonna reinstate the 'follow',my bad ❤️
Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to say, that feels a little harsh. I'd preemptively apologised and owned up to the mistake. No worries - you've made so much of the comedy I love so much better from you being in it that I'm not gonna hold it against you. I'm gonna stop following you, obviously, but it's with sadness.
Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
You're absolutely right, I should really stop skim-reading!

The BBC used to be the best source for independent, unbiased(ish) news reporting. Trusted the world over. This was long before "obey the charter or be defunded into oblivion", of course. Who'd have thought there'd be something from the 70s I'd miss...? I mean, the music was pretty solid, too...
Edward Rigby (@clumsyfootsteps.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a fantastic accomplishment. Well done x

I loved the Ladybird books but I'm haunted by a picture in Little Red Riding Hood where (I think) a woodcitter cut the wolf's stomach open, filled it with rocks and stitched him back up.I can't imagine that picture stayed in the book much past the 70's but it's been in my nightmares for decades.

I can totally understand that. I was playing it pretty much completely off my face in the student's union in 1986. By the time the PS2 came out, the world of video games had got a lot more sophisticated than dinosaurs smashing up buildings 😊
