If I

Image
By


Your eyes are the same shade of blue as your mother’s

You don’t look a thing like me

Trust me you should be relieved 

It’s a wonder how you came to be


If I should ever have a child

I’ll always wear a smile for them

If I should leave them for a while 

I promise to come back again

It’s what my parents did for me

I know who I’ll have to be

If I, should ever have a child


Your heart’s not the same kind of sad as your father’s

You are let to meet a lover

You are yet to cry for others

But one day you’ll meet the right one and you’ll never cry again


This world is your ocean

All I did was bring you to these shores

When life is a shipwreck 

Just remember what you’re sinking for

Every step of the way

You’ll learn from the things you do

And never forget my love

Your folks they are proud of you


If I should ever have a child

I’ll always wear a smile for them

If I should leave them for a while 

I promise to come back again

It’s what my parents did for me

I know who I’ll have to be

If I, should ever have a child


We’re all longing to be free

I know who who I’ll have to be

If I should ever have a child

New Year. New Me?

By
I'm going to change next year. Really? Uh huh. How? I haven't really thought about it. I just know... I probably need to change a few things. Well, you better get thinking. You'll be sat with your family making resolutions before you know it. Do people still do that? Yeah? Oh. You literally do it every year. I do? Yeah, and then you break every single resolution you make in roughly 24 minutes flat.  24 minutes?! Give or take. Well. This year will be different. Are you sure? I told you. I'm going to change. Alright... Yeah! ... Go on then. Okay, easy one to start. This should be fun. I'm going to stop drinking. No way. Impossible. Why? How on Earth will you be interesting at parties? You can't come up with anything interesting to say without a couple of Jaeger's in your system. That's true... I'll go to the gym. Work on my guns. Get my body in shape. But your tubbiness is one of your defining traits! They say dad bods are in this season. Yeah, if I go...

Welcome to Minor Spillage!

What is Minor Spillage? Hello! If you have found this blog, you must one of three things: Interested in TV, Radio, Theatre and other bits of creative genius.  Really bored. (This one is very likely.) Here by mistake, because you were searching for something a tad more unsavoury.  Minor Spillage is a production company, but not just any production company… We are a really, really good one.  So far, we have put on an award winning theatre production (We were just as surprised as anyone about this.), are in post production on a sci-fi comedy radio show and are currently developing a varied series of podcasts for 2026. We’re busy boys! There’s even a short film and ANOTHER THEATRE SHOW on the way!  But, we thought all that just wasn’t enough… Have you been dying to get some more raw, unadulterated Minor Spillage content into your veins? If you are, perhaps you’re our mother, checking up on us? If you’re not (or even if you are), this is the place for you.  What will...

Story of Yesterday

By
We all know our brain plays tricks on us. Catching a glimpse of something in the mirror that isn’t there when you turn around. Seeing lights in the night sky and convincing yourself it must be aliens. What I experienced was not my brain playing a trick on me. Yet, to date, I have found no explanation for it. That’s why I’m finally writing about it. I'm writing this blog, in the hope that there is another person out there who saw it. Before I properly begin, it’s vital that you know that my favourite film is a 92-minute indie comedy from 2004 called Story of Yesterday . Maybe you’ve heard of it. Two old colleagues meet again by chance, both hitchhiking their way across Europe, but in opposite directions. They face obstacles and diversions that keep leading them back to one another, so they eventually give up on the trip and reminisce about the past, sharing the vital life lessons they’ve learnt. It didn’t reinvent cinema, but it’s heartwarming, funny, and was a useful career springb...
