You Do It
It doesn’t matter where it is, every Starbucks appears to have a policy whereby they clearly have two tills, and a lot of staff, and yet no one is ever on the second till. The queue gets longer and longer as the one member of staff who’s been handed the till short straw appears to […]

I’ve never really understood the phrase ‘It’s grim up North’ because mostly, it really isn’t. If anything, having a stroll round Newcastle yesterday afternoon, I realised just what a nice city it is. The sandstone brick buildings, places such as the Royal Theatre, ancient wall ruins and the occasional statue of a man who made […]

I have to type this using some sort of train stealth. I fully intended on the train to Newcastle to get loads of work done. Write some stuff about the budget and the England game, work on my show, do a good lengthy blog and generally abuse East Coast’s appalling free wifi for every megabit […]

These things involved carrying and walking and both of those meant more tshirts and shower water were used up than is actually necessary.

Up until about 2am last night (or morning if you’re being picky, but its dark and therefore still night in my book. Yes, I have a two page book. One page says ‘If it’s light, then its daytime. If its dark, its nighttime.’ I tend to get very messed up during the middle of winter […]

Thank God its Friday eh? Though if there is a God it must be pointed out that he/she/it/they/Quango Destroyer of Worlds also created Mondays and therefore you can’t just be passing thanks without thinking it through. Today I shall be spending time helping my friend Wendy move house. She’s not going anywhere, she’s just asked […]

Only got ten mins to hack out this blog today due to very bad time keeping. I swear time keeping is pretty heard even though being a time keeper must be easier than being a zoo keeper. I mean they have to keep animals and know what the time is, so it would appear to […]
