HSBC has been fined £10.5 million today for conning old people out of investment money. I won’t go into detail as its there in the news story and to be honest the actual detail isn’t what bothers me. What annoys this here Douieb is here is a case of a large multinational bank with billions […]
Today was the first day of playing James Brown’s Funky Christmas and so now I can officially say I feel festive. Four days into my Captain America advent calendar that in no way attempts to honour the Marvel heroes attributes with its chocolate shapes – no he wasn’t a choir boy, no he doesn’t fight […]
Today has already been a good day. I find that being a fickle human being I only need one or two things to make a day stand out and today I have seen a 5 year old boy called Hector chase the comic Matthew Highton around in circles trying to lick his arm. Regardless of […]
My face is cold today. Yes, cold. I have had to, against my will, shave off the majority of my beard for an audition I have today. I refuse to shave all of it off on account of some of my material being about it and the fact I hate my chin. Its a rubbish […]
After three days of blogging about the strike action I was very much determined not to write about it anymore today. I like to presume some people abroad read this and if that’s remotely true (its not) then I hope I haven’t bored them to death with notes on an economic climate they don’t know […]

I had big plans for pt 2 of this blog today, but as it happens I have little time to do some proper research and bestow you with awesome facts and figures. The reason for this is, much like a lovely repeat of this time last year, our flat is without internet while we swap […]
I have a feeling the next few days of blogs are going to be on the same theme, so I have pre-empted this by calling today’s blog ‘pt 1’, which also allows me to be far less imaginative on the title front. But let’s skip past my creative laziness and move to the hard stuff. […]
Right, wordpress has deleted this post once already today, so it’s possibly too rebellious for it, and they are maybe too worried about letting something onto the internet that may cause a ripple through the system. But fuck it, let’s try again. Mega thanks to @ShaneHudson on Twitter who is a saviour of the blog. […]
This is a bad week for blogs I’m afraid. After a cop out blog yesterday, it not only appears there won’t be a moment to blog tomorrow and, even worse, today’s have very little to muse over. Normally by this point in the week I’ll have been so riled up with something or other – […]
