Comments - September 2014 September 1st, 2014

A short story, by Tiernan Douieb aged 33 and a half. Then suddenly, the comments sections were turned off. On every news site, every blog page, every hotel recommendation, porn video and home-care zines alike. Nowhere, on the entirety of the internet could a thought be listed underneath, explaining what the average Joe or Joanne […]

Fringed - August 2014 August 25th, 2014

Warning: Non comedy goers, this may be the most boring blog you’ll ever read. Sorry about that. Less a musing on life and more an essay on the Edinburgh Fringe with no real conclusion.   Another Edinburgh Fringe over with, another Comedy Year closed. Having cheated this year with only half a run, and only […]

The Privilege Of A Burning Car - July 2014 July 29th, 2014

On Saturday, my car went on fire. I’m sure that’s not the correct way of putting it, but that is what it did. Or more accurately, after two years of constantly causing me troubles, it committed its own viking funeral. No one was hurt and I didn’t need the services of car wreck lawyers, thank […]

There’s Nothing Happening (Except Everything) - July 2014 July 7th, 2014

‘There’s nothing happening in the world today’ I find myself often muttering to L. She will often rifle through Twitter and respond with ‘No. It all seems rather dull today.’ This isn’t an admittance that I can single handedly halt the turning of the Earth just using incredible psychic thoughts. Nor is it the moment […]

Showvelution - July 2014 July 3rd, 2014

I was worried that this blog may not apply or be of interest to you all. Then I realised, you’ve all written an hour show right? Of course you have. Everyone, at one point or another, has sat down, churned out an hour of stand-up in order to perform it to people all round the […]

Not Enough Hours In The Day - June 2014 June 21st, 2014

I’ve always thought there are exactly enough hours in a day. This view is mostly based on the fact that a day is constructed of 24 hours (excluding leap days) and so if we were to start adding hours willy-nilly to it, it’d get fairly confusing. Meeting people would be difficult, watch and clock manufacturers […]

Wanted: A Clever But Easily Exploited Person - June 2014 June 6th, 2014

This is less a blog post, and more and advert for assistance. I just thought it was better to put it here rather than in the window of my local shop where less people would see it and chances are super evil Chris Moyles* man from the garage or the man who’s always at the […]

I Vote For Voting - May 2014 May 18th, 2014

I was talking to a chiropractor at a wedding yesterday. Yes I know that’s a lot of info to take in right there but there’s no need for you to have anything other information about the situation than that. Though it should be known that it was a lovely day and my good friend Jacqui […]

Laboured Joke - May 2014 May 7th, 2014

I find it hugely depressing that Labour aren’t top of the public opinion polls by a long stretch in the UK at the moment. I’m not surprised at all. I have no hope in them, or any intention of voting for them at all. But it’s still saddening, because they should be. It’s exactly one year […]

Super Bus Man and The Culture Of Entitlement - April 2014 April 27th, 2014

I have discovered a secret super power. It’s not a particularly good one, or one that’s useful to anyone else but me, but it’s definitely something close to making me an Avenger. Probably. Everytime I walk to our nearest bus stop, the bus I need is either there, or just arriving. It has happened to […]
