So today the government have released the Coalition programme explaining just what they aim to carry out during their time in parliament and perhaps more importantly, which bits of each other’s manifestos they have included and which have been compromised. Before I go any further, its likely you’re already bored, so here is a quick […]
There are times when I really do question my choice of living. This morning, standing in front of four people I’d never met, in just a very small pair of Superman pants, pretending I was standing on the nose of a whale, was one of those times. This was, incase you were wondering, for a […]
Why is it so many plants and flowers that are used for toiletries sound like they are greeting old ladies? Evening Primrose! Aloe Vera! Ok, so its only those two. But still, that’s more than most other things sound like they are speaking specifically to elderly women in a pleasant fashion. Maybe we should call […]
I’ll make this speedy as I’m moving things today. Not that I don’t usually move something everyday, and I wouldn’t want you to think I was merely boasting to those who can’t move anything. No, I’m moving stuff from my old flat into my parent’s house, as yesterday I took residency in the bedroom I […]
I woke up at 6.02am this morning due to a very very loud sound that appeared to buzz for a long time and then thud. Buzzzzzzzz, thud. Buzzzzzz, thud.

I’m sure it wasn’t this hard to find Edinburgh festival accommodation last year? It appears that this year all the landlords have looked at the credit crunch, taken in the fact that all comedians, actors and fringe participants are broke and have therefore decided to raise all the rent by bankrupting amounts. Now, before I […]

He declined, but he didn’t use a simple no. No, he used the phrase ‘ I have a very small toast acceptance spectrum from around 8am to […]
I’ve never been a pub quiz champion before. I always fear them slightly not knowing a lot about pubs. Arf. That’s an arf for two reasons. One, they don’t ask you about pubs of course you big silly. Two, I know shitloads about pubs. Well, a bit anyway. But I have never been part of […]
Not a great title for my blog today, as I’m worried people will think it refers to the Tories. It doesn’t. They are definitely not renegade masters. I’ve decided the start this again. I suppose, by typing this, and you reading it, its pretty bloody obvious. Don’t get me wrong, if I could send a […]
Hello usual blog readers. Or rather, reader. I haven’t posted for a couple of days now, which for a daily blog, is possibly quite odd. Not that many of you have noticed. I still just thought I should probably post this to say I’m not dead. Or if I am, then you can use blogspot/FB […]
