I've been writing comedy for BBC radio and TV since my first sketch on Pulp Video in 1995. Since then, I've written for Only an Excuse? Chewin the Fat, Karen Dunbar, Watson's Wind Up, Off the Ball, Sabotage, Naked Radio, and Five Live comedy shows. In print, I've contributed to various papers including the Sunday Mail, Scotland on Sunday and the New York Times. In a previous life I was a drummer and unbelievably toured with Nirvana. I kept a diary and my book Nirvana: A Tour Diary came out in Spring 2013. I've also finished a book called One Night in May: The Birth of Oasis, and I'm working on another book about music and weather called Only an Northern Song. I'm also writing a spoof political memoir.

Impolitic: Beaker, Gideon and Ballsup, the Three Amigos

In a rare show of strength, they categorically ruled out a future UK government joining a currency union with an independent Scotland. Osborne went as far as to threaten: "If Scotland walks away from the UK, it's also walking away from the pound."
