No gig tonight and so to celebrate I am wondering around the flat in my superman pants. I’m sure this isn’t the loveliest of images for many of you, but as you can only imagine it, pretend I look better than I do. I feel oddly heroic in my Superman pants. I’m not sure why, […]

Driving Me Car-razy

Just as I was pulling up outside my flat, clearly reversing, some idiots in a mini decided they would try and get through the tiny gap left on my road by driving through it at top speed. They clearly had no idea of space, or the dimensions of their car, as they raced through and […]

Only a handful of types of people venture out drinking on a Monday. If you find yourself in a bar at 2am at the very start of the week you will note that you are surrounded by people who do not give a shit about the next seven days. That usually means the clientele will […]

A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Three Dead Ones In Your Flat

I’ll tell you some ways I like being woken up. Of my own accord, with breakfast and by a call to remind you you have to catch a flight to go on holiday. All of those ways are great. You might have noticed that among those listed, there is not one saying ‘by finding a […]

Our cats have insisted on bringing several presents into the house this morning. It started with a large dragonfly. I use the word ‘large’ rather loosely. Had it been alive and challenged me to a fight, I would have lost. Less of the fly, more of the dragon bit. I saw it delivered gracefully as […]

You know you are feeling knackered when you spend a good 5 minutes accidentally calling your home phone from your mobile and then picking up the ringing house phone and wondering why no one is on the end of it. I managed to do this three times before it clicked that I wasn’t calling my […]

Today I have reached the difficult stage of beard growing. Its the point where a lesser man would turn back, shave his face and never darken the halls of Beardom ever again. Its the day of Beard Regrowth Project: Bio-hazard Supreme Itchyface. To wrongly phrase the words of the Kings of Leon song ‘Wooooaaaoooooh my […]

I’m having a day off today. Thats the best thing about being your own boss. I didn’t have to ask for holiday, or call myself up awkwardly and pretend to be ill. I just had to make sure that no one booked me for a gig and that I didn’t gain any money I might […]

In 50 minutes I have to be somewhere that on a normal day would be only 15 minutes away. I have a feeling today it will take much much longer than that thanks to the tube strike. It is also partly thanks to the fact that currently I am sitting in my dressing gown at […]

I’m eating condensed milk out of a tin. I think that makes me pretty digusting. There are only two types of people that can eat condensed milk out of tins and not be frowned upon. The first are orphans who have been evacuated from the Blitz in World War Two and its the first sugary […]
