fine is not good.
fine is not bad.
fine is not fine.
fine is just glad.

fine is the bedsheets feeling too heavy.
fine is the table being wobbly.
fine is the mugs being chipped.
fine is the after shave being just a bit too much.

fine is a Wetherspoons lunch.
fine is a faint grin.
fine is a light jumper in the blistering heat.
fine is a slightly bubbly Guinness.

fine is being 1 minute and 49 seconds late for work.
fine is being ignored when you wave at someone.
fine is being in your friends not too great shower.
fine is being told you smell, but not of what?

fine is when you get a heart react instead of a response.
fine is when you use a napkin instead of a tissue.
fine is when you don’t get the right change in the shop.
fine is when your parents don’t quite understand mobile banking.

fine is everywhere.
fine is the streets.
fine is the lampposts.
fine is your feet.

fine is my mirror.
fine is those nails.
fine is that dog bowl.
fine is that snail.

fine is my laptop.
fine is the light.
fine is my smile.
fine is not shite!

fine is not good.
fine is not bad.
fine is not fine.
fine is just glad.

Ryan Croughan is one of the unfortunate souls who keeps the Minor Spillage ship sailing. Sailing? Probably better to say paddling. As well as producing, he finds time to present and provide voiceovers. He also says he doesn't like the sound of his own voice. Bit odd really.

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...
