Chris McQueer

I SEE a lot of writing advice flying around online.

I’VE spoken a few times in this column about how I’ve not been feeling quite myself.

ON Christmas Day, after opening a load of presents befitting the spoiled little boy I am, my girlfriend handed me one last one saying “this is just a wee daft thing”.

CHRISTMAS is upon us once again.

I haven’t been feeling great mentally recently.

WITH Christmas almost upon us, I have been feeling very amused by a new tradition that has sprung up, seemingly out of nowhere, in the last few years – Elf on the Shelf.

I AWOKE the other morning to see Billy Connolly was trending on Twitter.

I am writing this as the last light of my twenties begins to fade away. On Friday morning, just after 7am, I will officially become a thirty-year-old man.

I saw someone on Twitter ask a question during the week which was ‘What were some things people had that marked them out as rich/posh to you when you were younger?’

WITH COP26 in full swing, it’s been hard for me not to think about climate change a lot recently.
