One of the Daily Telegraph 50 Funniest Comedians of the 21st Century (50th, but one got cancelled). Also an author. And producer. And a whole life away from work if you can imagine.

Yes he was.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 9:23 PM

This is very sad and difficult to believe. I did a stint with him on Bear Grylls's Island show a little while ago. He was a generous personality and I felt pleased to have met him; didn't imagine it would never happen again. RIP.

Oh, I do know.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:41 PM

I'm trying, but nobody's taken me up on it yet.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 6:31 PM

I think I remember that.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:36 PM

Oh, by a long way. Yet I still feel pleased. I'm their dream customer.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:35 PM

I'm in!

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:28 PM

And that's why I was proud to toil for Waitrose, 1996-8.

Just had this again. This time I'd saved almost ten quid. But you still have to feel Tesco as a company is up on the deal overall.

At first glance I thought Martin Lewis was asking these questions himself and I was a bit surprised he, of all people, wouldn't know this stuff.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:11 PM

Still looking fondly every day at the one you did!

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 5:07 PM

'We now call this Tilly Norwood Borders'.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:25 PM

Yes. At night, people would sometimes see the words spelled out by lighted tapers.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:18 PM

That's definitely healthy, yes.

You think it's stressful watching on WhatsApp as someone's status goes 'typing... typing...' for ages, but at one time it would have been up to three weeks of the words 'writing a letter... writing a letter'.

They'll be making us use hedgehogs *as* money next.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 12:29 PM

Which I'm planning to do on - maybe Wednesday, Thursday?

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 12:19 PM

I respect people OCCASIONALLY getting things done, but you don't like to see too much of it.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 12:18 PM

I'll reply to this in a bit.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 12:12 PM

'Honestly I was going to bring it up with them ANY DAY, the time just gets away from you.'
