NHS / Bits On The Side
MORE NHS Right, look I know I’ve been going on about this every single day for the last week, but its a subject quite close to my heart. If I had any problems with that heart it would be even closer. The NHS bill may get passed today. I’m honestly not sure to what extent, […]

Less a blog today, more a small collection of things of which I wish to inform you. Serious one first: NHS REFORM BILL The NHS reform bill is currently being debated by the House of Lords and with the assumption that it will get passed in some format whether we like it or not, this […]

A very short blog today as I’m off to this: BLOCK THE BRIDGE Which is one of the most important protests you could possibly attend. I’m meant to be doing stand-up there today but I’m really struggling to find humour in the notion of the NHS being destroyed in place of a privatised system that […]

I have accidentally made too much popcorn. Unpopped corn appears to be one of those unquantifiable solids in the universe. Sure I’ve got to ‘put enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pan’ but we all know that’s never enough, but as soon as you add even one more kernel than that to the […]

STAGGERED I’m not sure what sort of a blog this will be today. After a weekend on my best friend’s stag do, my brain isn’t quite in top form. Today is mostly for gathering back together the strands of reality and life where I’m not roaming around with 9 other men wondering how best to […]
