Fringe

I’m not going to the Edinburgh Fringe this year. If you hadn’t gathered that already or remotely cared then I’m sorry to say you’ll be bombarded by various blogs I’ve written for various websites all detailing why. Essentially, in a series of different words, they all amount to the same reasons: it costs too much […]

Bearing All

Much like a discontinued bus service, successful castings for me tend to not come at all most of the time, while I’m left standing there ignoring the ‘no longer in use’ sign. However like the ever brilliant 134 bus service from Finchley to Tottenham Court Road (and it is brilliant) last week, three came all […]

The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be

  The future must’ve seemed so exciting in the 70’s. They’d already been to the moon, the first intel processor had been created and telly and film was full of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars and Alien. Essentially the world must’ve believed that within 30 years there would be flying cars, regular trips to […]

Life Affirming Theft

On Tuesday I had my phone snatched. Some oik – and that is the correct term due to age, size and general facial expression – on a push bike appeared out of nowhere, and all I saw was his hand grab my tPhone out of my hand and cycle off with it. His friend followed […]

Hating The Haters

I’ve been thinking a lot about the events of the last week in Britain. Well the Woolwich murder and aftermath in particular though I did spend quite some time dwelling on the sad death of a zoo keeper by a tiger. This story has put an end to my overly hopeful dreams of one day […]

Gove Hates Fads*

You know that Michael Gove? Yeah you know the one. Inexplicably tiny head, an entire demeanour that seems far too much like a ventriloquist dummy has been brought alive via a curse, and eyes that have a roaring fire of arrogance behind them? Yes that one. The one whose only experience of education was going […]

Rebreaks and Un-Imaginings

There’s a lot of stuff that leads me to despair on a day-to-day basis. Some of these include the fact that people willingly pay money to go the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum in Piccadilly, the fact that some people genuinely seem to think voting UKIP is a good idea, and the fact that […]

Nice Area

This isn’t a funny blog. Its something that I have thought about lots lately which is what I’m going to try and use my blog to write about from now on. Apologies if you think its a ‘touch sanctimonious’* but its not at all intended to be.     I live in a ‘nice area’. […]

Opinions In The 21st Century

Opinions eh? Who’d have ’em? Only fucking idiots I reckon. Well only idiots would have opinions that are different to the opinions I have. I mean, why on Earth would anyone ever think anything different to me and the way I think things with my brain? Seems implausible. I mean there are only a finite […]

Who Are Ya?

I have realised the huge flaw in only writing a blog every few days rather than daily, and that’s that I have far too much to talk about within any 24 hour period. Therefore letting it build up until I do actually write a blog means that you, the blog reader (yes, all one of […]
