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 […]
Bear Witness
Essentially today has, so far, been nothing but a bit of loveliness. My bestest bud Mat and his girlfriend Hannah did the formal part of their wedding this morning, making them officially, by certificate, husband and wife. The big do is in a few weeks time so today was just the ‘paperwork’ but made so […]

I always harbour an odd thought that if I wasn’t a stand up I’d be a hip hop DJ of some sorts. Or an astronaut. Or an adventurer. Or a rock star. Or just that guy in the pub that no one knows who he is, where he’s from, what he does for a living, […]
Mac Daddy
It was an odd thing to find out Steve Jobs had died this morning. Only a day after Apple launch its new products and only a few months after he stepped down as chief executive of the company, I’m not sure anyone suspected he was quite so close to the end of his life. Hours […]
National Health Disservice
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 […]
Staggering
I’m off on my best mate’s stag do today. Mat being my best mate means I am his best man and ultimately the mantle has fallen on me to have organised these next two days of stag action. And it is a mantle, possibly more so for me than others. I don’t mean to sound […]
Tiernan 2.0
I know I’ve written about this subject matter before, but there are obvious signs of ageing and once again I experienced one of these yesterday. Whilst reaching for something with my right arm, I got a sudden serious sharp pain in my head. Yes. Arm movement caused head pain. This hasn’t happened before. I know […]

Wow the world’s a mess isn’t it? I’m finding it so interesting watching as day after day another group of economists, traders or world bank institutions start to forecast a complete global economy collapse. I don’t understand it all, but it seems everyone’s now borrowed up to their eyeballs and what with bail outs draining […]

So, er, there was meant to be a blog yesterday. I was going to type up about my weekend in the West County, the incredible high tea I had at Bath Bun in Bath, and many many other exciting tales from the Douieb’s travels. But, er, then I had an all you can eat curry […]
Tiernan Douieb, Animal Catcher
Some of you may remember the blog a short while ago where using intuition, my incredible speed, a Godfather DVD case and a whisky glass, that I caught myself a mouse. If you don’t remember it, it’s here: MOUSE WHISPERER Well last night I added to this list of animal catching feats. Me and L […]
