Still haven’t got swine flu yet. I’d have assumed that by now I should probably have it, being a pandemic and all. I think a lot of people assumed that and yet only 27 lucky people have it. They’ve been all selfish and kept it to themselves, locking themselves away so they can get all […]
Do the banks really deserve a holiday today? Don’t get me wrong, I think everyone else should, but in light of recent screw ups the last people to be taking time off should be the financial sector. If anything they should be working even harder and sorting things out. Perhaps doing fundraisers to work off […]
Layla and me have promised to each other not to do any work today, so this blog shall be short-ish. Not that I do any work most days, but its nice to not even pretend to do work and procrastinate. Technically no procrastination will happen today as I’m not attempting to do anything in the […]
My gig tonight doesn’t start till 10.30pm which means I’ve got a long day before I have to go to work. I was hoping I would be doing the early show at the Komedia as well tonight, as that tends to give you enough energy so that by the late show you are on form […]
After I finish this blog I have to deal with the washing up. Its been there for days and there are things in it I’m not sure of. Its possible some of them could have become animate. Although it smells more like something has died in the sink. I hate washing up. Its one of […]
There is a dog a few gardens away from ours that spends all day howling. Not just a bit of howling but really howling, like a werewolf would as it was about to eat your face. It both irritates and worries me. I’m quite a sucker for feeling sad about an animal in distress and […]
This swine flu is causing all sorts of hullabaloo at the moment. I am as yet unfazed but such matters. Bird Flu and SARS didn’t seem to cause as much damage as they said they would and pigs are far less mobile than birds or, er SARS, whatever they are. I bet they’re pretty mobile […]
Cant type for long today as I have to go away and be a zombie. Luckily this doesn’t involve being killed and then reanimated, or being bitten by another zombie or any sort of voodoo charms. If it did then although the poster would look great, lives would be jeopardized and my Edinburgh show, more […]
Where the bloody hell has the sunshine gone? The sun is a bit like a wanton father or husband. Its not there for ages and you give up on it, thinking it’ll never come back. Just when you’ve forgotten it exists, it strolls right back in pretending it can just rule the roost again, no […]
Sometimes I am envious of music gigs. There are certain things you can do to kick of a show when you are a band that you just can’t do as a solo stand-up. You can try, but its never the same. My friend Mat started his final university stand-up show by walking through a smoke […]
