Experience
Oonagh has dabbled in writing for money since the 1980s, but finally gave up her Olympic cycling dreams and turned fully professional in 2013 – partly because she doesn’t own a bike. Her writing work includes jokes for greetings cards, ghostwriting food and travel blogs and at least three articles entitled ‘What has the EU ever done for us?’. She was offered two weeks’ work at the Poke in 2018 and has refused to leave ever since.Education
Oonagh graduated with a BA (Hons) in Maths Education from Liverpool Hope University.19 funniest reactions to the unsurprising news that the Louvre’s security system password was ‘Louvre’
