As a content producer, writer, I’m always looking for inspiration. Pete Sinclair is someone I keep one eye on. Pete was obviously watching the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony the other night; I had a prior engagement so just caught the last few moments. Did you see it? Were you delighted, impressed or cringing? Pete… well I guess he thought it was entertaining!
If you don’t know Pete’s work, his Twitter bio reads: Co-writer of Lead Balloon; co-co-co-co-writer of Have I Got News For You; ex-writer of Spitting Image; future writer of other stuff…
As a proud Scot maybe I should feel ashamed at having missed the Opening ceremony; what was I doing that was so important to miss it? I was supporting a friend Michael Pedersen who was showcasing his play, Parley for Power at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh.

The battle for domination of the right to be a Dog or a Cat without the need for human subjugation; as told by Cats and Dogs… erm, maybe Michael was the one with the Skunk!! Highly entertaining definitely worth a see – follow Michael on Twitter to find future times and dates.
