What we in Britain call the 'AA' is known as 'AAA' in America - which makes it confusing as hell to buy batteries there.

Can't help thinking that a bloke called 'Wee Willy Winky' got away lightly by being memorialised in a song about sleeping.

Guys, I think we should all give Nigel Farage a bit of a break. What's he SUPPOSED to do? Admit he's racist and undermine any credibility he might have as a decent human being? Or DENY that he's racist and lose support of his entire fan base?
The poor guy can't win.

Just (foolishly) took a glance at one of those "Which comedian do you think isn't funny?" clickbait traps. One person has replied "Are there ANY that are funny?".
Imagine having *that* as your default stance. "Comedy? Nah. I just don't find it funny".
Absolutely mad.

Went to a choir recital thing last night, and one of the songs they did was called 'All of Me' (possibly 'All of You'?) by John Legend. All I can think about this morning is what an absolute nothing-casserole of a song it is. It's like a love song written by a committee of AI bots. God, it's awful.

I kinda miss the days when people used to answer their phone by reciting the full phone number. Might start a revival.

It gives me no pleasure to do this, but I'm being told that our work-in-progress show at Leicester Comedy Festival is selling so well that we need to do another one, on the same day (08/02). You can come to either of them, if you happen to be around. I'll be there*.

I'm not bad at spelling, but I have found that the last half of 'announcement' can get really hard.

Paul's book is really great. Get your mitts on it if you can.
Full disclosure: I listened to the audiobook, but I think that still qualifies. Just about.

1. Dont assume sales based on twitter followers if youre then going to leave the racist cesspit.
2. You're on your own.
3. Whatever you think the headline stories are, the tabloids will disagree.

Yes, this chaotic life has always been a gamble.

What a strange way to give birth.
People talk about their kids' births as being the most glorious moments of their lives but for me it was when I was high on drugs and climbed a clock tower and edged all the way around the narrow ledge at the top to avoid a police helicopter spotlight.

Just seen that there's an Irish ukulele band calling themselves 'Ukeristic Congress'. Fair play. I've seen a LOT of ukulele-pun band-names (at least three for every uke festival we play) and that is surely one of the best.

I just saw this on Instagram. I took a screenshot so that I could add a witty caption, but I honestly don't think it needs one. Just look at it. Drink it in.
