This morning has already been a whirlwind of emotions. Firstly a council tax court summons because we are a few days late with our payment did nothing but incite anger. Haringey council has a brilliant scheme whereby they send you a threatening letter, you call to respond, you’re told all the operators are too busy […]
Its a horrible feeling when the last thing you post on Twitter is a possible hooray at the stay of a innocent man’s execution on Death Row, only to wake up and find out he was indeed murdered during the night. I’m not going to pretend I know all the ins and outs of it […]
I have lost my notepad. I’m fairly sure it was left at Old Rope on Monday night but on calling the pub and asking if they had found an A4 lined notepad, they responded with ‘no.’ Then they asked ‘what were you asking about again?’ and I said ‘an A4 lined notepad’ to which they […]
The last two days have been a flurry of attempting to write material in time for Old Rope only for me to write only three jokes, all of which will be relevant for a week – one only for a day – before disappearing into the ether along with the news story it represents. There […]
DALE FARM I’m not going to get into the whole ethics of the Dale Farm situation as I feel its a bit beyond my understanding what with them owning half the land and the eviction being illegal and several other facts all mumbled jumbled up in the middle. What I don’t get though is that […]

There are times when you have a career in comedy that you find yourself in a more than surreal situation. Last night at the Scip Mylo comedy festival was one of these when I found myself sharing a green room with Paul Daniels and Debbie McGhee. Paul has never really been off the circuit (as […]
I have just returned from a casting where I got to eat chocolate. I don’t think I did anything else right, but apparently the way I ate chocolate and looked pleased about myself post doing so was ‘perfect’. I hastened not to inform them that this was not at all acting and merely how I […]
FEROGLOBIN I have no idea what Feroglobin is, nor what it does but thanks to an advert on the tube, I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t want any. Far from it. It sounds like some sort of drug you’d give someone to make them turn into a werewolf. Admittedly, that’d be cool if […]
When there is a snail comfortably living under your sofa, I think its an indication that you need to clean the flat. It looked throughly upset to be disturbed, retreating into its shell with a look that almost conveyed dismay at the noise the hoover was causing and the upset and waking him up from […]
