Dear Audience… - May 2015 May 16th, 2015

Dear audience that were present at tonight’s gig, It’s now after the show. It’s (still) a Saturday night. My girlfriend is away on a hen weekend and I’ve been invited to a party that I was quite tempted to go to. But instead I’m already sitting at home in my pyjamas with the aim of spending […]

Seeing The Bullshit - May 2015 May 8th, 2015

I’ve made a small promise to myself to stop having opinions on things the second I read about them. I honestly feel like one of our current biggest problems in society is a snap reaction that isn’t processed, dwelled on, and thought about carefully before we spew more vile into the endless sick puddle of […]

Electoral Dysfunction - May 2015 May 4th, 2015

Having already written about The Conservative Party, The Labour Party, and the other possible kingmaker parties, I was going to write a blog about all the other itty bitty parties and independent candidates that are running in the election. But it turns out, there are 426 of those in Great Britain alone, with a further 36 in Northern […]

Why You Should Vote For…pt 3: The Kingmakers - April 2015 April 27th, 2015

This is the penultimate one of these blogs. You’ll either have registered to vote by now, or not bothered and left it up to everyone else to decide who’ll fuck up the UK best. Thanks for that. Sorry this one’s taken a while but lots has happened in the election campaign over the last two weeks. […]

UK General Election 2015: Why you should for…2. The Labour Party - April 2015 April 14th, 2015

Often, whenever I’ve criticised the Conservatives online, some idiot has responded with ‘Well what about Labour though?’ Usually using far too many capital letters and a lack of understanding that it is possible to be disillusioned by all parties at once. To prove I’m not one to pick sides, and as Labour have finally launched […]

UK General Election 2015: Why you should for…1. The Conservative Party - April 2015 April 6th, 2015

With only a few weeks till the UK general election, I thought it might be useful to do a series of, ahem, partisan blogs explaining exactly why you might want to vote for each party. If you’d like a more sensible view do check out Rick Edwards’ excellent new book ‘None Of The Above‘ which […]

The Battle For Number 10 - March 2015 March 27th, 2015

I watched the ‘Battle For Number 10’ television debate this morning. I’ve recently discovered that if I watch political debate programs while on our exercise bike then I seem to pedal much harder out of sheer frustration for the entire affair. When attempting to fix my life and get healthier for the umpteenth time in […]

This Isn’t For You (Except It Is) - March 2015 March 8th, 2015

So look, this blog should probably have ‘Advertisement’ written across the top of it so you can distinguish it from my other blogs where I fail to promote myself due to a lack of anything anyone might want to buy. But I thought as well as shamelessly selling things, I thought I’d explain some things […]

Marathon Man - February 2015 February 26th, 2015

Tomorrow I’m taking part in Mark Watson’s 27 Hour Show for Comic Relief. I keep telling people I’m not sure why I’m doing such a ridiculous thing, fully aware that taking part in an event for that long without sleep or rest is hard enough without the added troubles of doing ridiculous challenges throughout. I […]

Satirically Destitute - February 2015 February 11th, 2015

A new ‘satirical’ television show has been announced today. I won’t mention its name and I haven’t seen it yet, so can’t really judge it as such. However in the selling points for said show, it states that it will feature ‘biting satire’ such as ‘David Cameron and Nick Clegg battling it out on the […]
