How To Make The Oscars Better: A Simple Guide

I’d entirely forgotten that the Oscars had happened last night until I switched on the TV this morning for my usual burst of This Morning. Handy that the show is titled the same as the time I watch it and I can’t help but feel it constantly deserves a small smattering of applause for such […]

Neddie Lizzard

I only have terrestrial television as people still insist on calling it. I mean, I’ve got freeview and all that but none of that Sky nonsense, or extra-terrestrial television as I call it. That’s right. I’ve decided if you’re all fancy and can rewind and fast forward the telly like you have evil magic powers […]

True Celebrity

Something really horrible happened last night. We’re talking really really wrong and horrible. Like up there with the worst things that have ever happened ever. I was watching the end of Jonathan Ross and Lady Gaga was on. No, wait, that isn’t it, despite her wearing a phone on her head and singing a song […]

Glasgoo Bloggery

I’ve written a blog already this week, but it’s up on another site and more specifically its all about Glasgow for the Glasgow Festival. Therefore I am going to be a big cheat today and redirect you over there to read that blog instead of this one today. Then hopefully if any of you are […]

Tring Tings

Lots of little notes for you today. Have at thee: – Get Stuffed in Tring is up there with the loveliest gigs ever. I’d never been to Tring before and, worse than that, I’d never even heard of it. But it turns out is a really lovely town not far from London, with lots of […]

Corn Dust

The corn on the cob I’ve stuck in the over is clearly burning. I decided to start this blog and the second I did I smelt burning. However I refuse to bow down to the demands of an inanimate cooking pulse and so I will leave it there until this blog is typed. If this […]

Counters of Hope

My local Barclays bank has five counters for staff to sit behind and deal with the ever growing queue of people. For at least two to three years now, there has never been more than two people behind these counters at any time. Essentially there are three counters of wasted hope. I queued up for […]

Marching Onwards

Its Spring! There’s sunshine outside my window and several duckling, baby rabbits (ribbits?) and daffodils all simultaneously dancing in circles outside my window. The last few bits were lies, but there is definitely sunshine and I’m fairly sure all the other bits will follow pretty soon as that’s what happens in Spring isn’t it? I’ve […]

The Morrisons Effect

Its a day off today and I’m so excited about it that I’ve managed to get to nearly 2pm having completely wasted it so far. This is not fair. Time is not allowed to fly by if I am not having fun. There are rules that should be in place. So far my day has […]

Sign Of God

This is the current advert outside the loony church round the corner from me. Much as there is large part of me that likes to find huge holes in a fraudulent cult corporation masquerading as a religion, they do seem to dangle the bait out there like they want passers by to mock. I haven’t […]
