Mis-bee-having

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. Like someone falling over while trying to press an intercom. After the last few days of being awoken by the sounds of scaffolding being removed and […]

Littlest Hobo

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 […]

Friday Ponderings / Frionderings

Some Friday thoughts and things: TOAST ACCEPTANCE SPECTRUM Late last night I offered my friend Sam a piece of toast. That’s what you do. Its just common courtesy. 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 […]

Quiztory In The Making

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 […]

Back Once Again….

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 […]

A Break

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 […]

Hung Over

Wow, the UK is in a proper mess today. People wanted change and then voted as such and now seem all a bit worried about the fact that no one has really won anything and no one really knows what’s going on. It feels a bit like when Layla decides she wants to move all […]

Structural Vote

Right, I’ve voted. That means I can have the rest of the day off right? Well there’s little else I can do to change the country save from start a new gunpowder plot. I’m not a fan of that. Mostly because gunpowder is a bit old school now, and I’m fairly sure I’d explode myself […]

Like a Pair Of Pants

I’m going to keep this brief, like a pair of pants. I like that phrase, especially as I made it up. However, it doesn’t actually make sense. Pants are also known as briefs, not brief, so really it would be better if you said ‘keep this brief, like a case.’ Except cases are funny. Well […]

Misery Fuel

I genuinely thought I’d already blogged today but it appears I definitely haven’t. Its slightly worrying that I thought that, and is a further step in me wondering if my brain is steadily giving up. Last night at Old Rope, at the end of the gig, I forgot who had been on, and forgot acts […]
