'If you got rid of every male creator who was a monster, we'd lose so many -' Don't care. Do not. There isn't a single piece of music, cinema, TV or literature that I would trade for another person's safety, and that's what you are proposing.

Bartending at Longitude and a kid swaggers up with a very impressive ID that shows his age at being squarely 17. I point it out and he says 'Fuck you're the first bartender I've met that can do maths.' 10 minutes later he walks by with a pint and gives me a thumbs up

I just got into an elevator with a tiny old British woman and when she saw that I was juggling a book, a large gin and a packet of crisps she just said 'the three food groups' and I think I just met the Queen.

Just met v nice woman on the Luas who told me she'd come to Dublin to adopt a cat. She hadn't told her husband (they have like 100 cats already) but she did have a box with her so she could stage a photoshoot and tell him she found it abandoned. I was enchanted and scandalised

One of the highlights of my brief acting career was watching a spirited argument between an actor and director as to who was more important to THEATRE. The techie watched it quietly for a few moments, then turned off the lights and left. Nobody knew how to turn them back on.

I remember hearing Frankie Boyle of all people explain that 'stress' is often just an insidious rebrand of 'sad' because if you tell people your job is making you sad, they'll tell you to change things, but if you say it's making you stressed, they tell you to endure it.

I just got offered 50e to do a panel at a festival that's charging between 50e and 179e for a ticket, and it's a genuine struggle to defy my innate 'no worries if not' nature and let them know that's not great.

Five years ago today I graduated the UCD Creative Writing Masters with tangly hair and a 1st draft of a novel. The novel has gotten better. I am not sure about the hair.

Guys your kind wishes and lovely words and accurate acknowledgement that I am an incredibly lucky person all mean a LOT. I keep saying 'I am betrothed' to myself and giggling like an idiot. It's great.

Just before we went live in my first first TV interview; Presenter: Really lovely to have you here Dave. Me: Oh thanks so much! Presenter: No I mean it, most people I interview think they deserve to be here, but you seem genuinely delighted to be out of the house.

Getting helicoptered to Tory Island today to tell stories. My two favourite bits of the safety briefing were - 'If you're going down, the pilot will say something like 'brace or... oh shit...' 'let's just say that if you walk into the tail rotor you'll only do it once.'

Just did 90% of my Christmas shopping in @gutterbookshop and it was the most stress-free experience ever. (also I signed some copies of #TwelveAngelsWeeping with a ridiculous doodle of my ridiculous face, if you've got a #DoctorWho fan you need to buy for...)
