Sitting On The Offence
Last night, at a university gig, a man went proper mega spazzy at Andrew O’Neill doing a very funny joke that just happened to mention Madelaine McCann’s name in it. Already, I bet you’re thinking ‘Woah Tiernan, busting out a first sentence like that throws us straight into the action. Not only have you used […]

This has just been posted on my Twitter feed: BBC Dropping Climate Change Episode Abroad To Help Sales Have a read, get angry, generally sigh about the world. This is another notch on the bedpost that I will use to beat up any scavengers with when the Earth resembles Cormac McCarthy’s The Road due […]
Umpteenly Clean
We have 5 tubes of toothpaste in our bathroom. Our flat is hugely lacking in decent food, we’re nearly out of shower gel, and its definitely lacking in cash. However, need some toothpaste? We have a veritable fuckton of the white stuff. I’m not sure how we’ve collated so much gnashed cleansing product – one […]

It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday in England and all is very much well with the world. It makes a sharp change from the rest of the weekend where it has been nothing but an uphill struggle where doing my job I like very much became a job. Not all of it, by any means, with […]

I’m a whole bundle of vexed this morning. Not sure what a bundle of vexed would be like but I suspect it to be like the creature in Brett Easton Ellis’ Lunar Park. If haven’t read that, imagine Gnasher trying to eat himself. That’s probably about right. Why such rage oh Tiernan? Well blogees, let […]
11.11.11
So its the 11th of the 11th of the 11th eh? What does that mean? Is it some terrible sign that a happening of extreme disaster will occur, some believing the number 11 heralds a terrible event, for example 9/11 or worse, the closure of all the 7/11’s in the UK some years ago? Does […]

Occasionally I’ll decide that despite not having done something in a very long time, I’m still clearly able to do it. Similar thinking has in previous years resulted in me falling off bikes, nearly having my fingers sliced off ice skating or letting go of a bowling ball too early and nearly killing someone behind […]
Squalid Existance
I’ve stared blankly at today’s wordpress blog page for about 10-15 minutes now and the conclusion I’ve come to is that I should probably start typing otherwise nothing will happen. Its a day where lots of writing needs to occur and yet neither fingers nor brain are colluding together to allow such happenings. The fingers […]
Nightclubmares
It’s taken far too long to get home today and once again, now here, I have an hour before trekking off again to do another gig. No peace for the wicked as they say, which I suppose is fair, as if you’re wicked you probably want to incite wars anyway. No peace for the peace […]
Career Highlights
Its bad enough that I had a casting yesterday that was the opposite of fun – having to try out opposite a man who it appeared had never heard of the concept of acting, let along reading or learning lines or in fact operating on any kind of normal human level. Like a large bearded […]
