What’s that sound? Oh, it’s the sound of my dad flying a tiny helicopter around the kitchen.
haha! It popped into my head yesterday that I bet there are 1000’s of households simultaniously flying teeny tiny helicopters all at the same time, all over the UK… then the on Boxing day putting them all in the bin…at the same time.

– Rab C Nesbitt’s Christmas Special is the best TV I’ve seen in a long time. Belly laughs from start to finish.
Back home for Christmas...
I went home for Christmas. That would be the arse end of the UK known on maps as Widnes, Cheshire.
Slag it off I may. But I love this place. I love a place you can walk into a pub and know 70% of the people in there. I love reminding myself of small-town traditions that still hold on, but with weaker grip every year.
I love sitting in a pub to see a man proudly enter with a huge tray of...

A smiley, glammed up blonde pulls up in the lane next to me. It’s Rebecca Adlington on her way to Sports Personality of the Year. She waved too.

Is this old news? Just had a little play about with it and it’s mindblowingly fast. It’s just having every single song in your iTunes library.

‘Whopper Virgins’ Documentary
This is just awful.
aka burger king works to have global fast food dependance….
alsso, I still won’t eat whoppers
Oh dear this is the biggest piece of shit I have seen in a long time.
So they’re not happy that fast-food advertising still hasn’t penetrated even the most remote areas of the world, so decide to go...
Funniest evidence of the credit crunch yet....
Caller: Hi, I'm wondering if you could help me with an idea i've got.
Me: OK..what is it?
Caller: Well, I've just drawn some cartoon characters this morning.
Me: Oh great, are you an illustrator?
Caller: No mate, I'm a plasterer, but I've not got much work on so I thought I'd give it ago.
Me: Oh
Caller: Well, is it something you would be interested in taking further?
Me: Taking where though?
Caller: On the Telly. I wanted to work with someone who can make the show, and then we can split the profits when it goes on TV.
Me: It's not quite as easy as that...and...I'm not sure that's really up my street to be honest.
Caller: Yeah, everybody I've called so far has said that. Bye.
Me: Bye
Tappy tapp'dy tap tap....
I type way too fast. I don’t know how I ever acquired this superhuman speed. But it makes people comment on it so it has to be above-average-fast. My mum was a secretary for ages, maybe that’s it. Is typing speed inherited?

Two things have gone horribly wrong lately.
1. I have got used to auto-complete in browsers. So most of the time, when Googling anything I usually...
Phone conversation just then with a writer i'm...
Writer: When I used to write Wizadora, the director would always say "I can't connect with this character"....and I would say "But, it's a sock"
Me: Wait a minute, you wrote Wizadora?
Writer: Yes. Didn't you know that? And some bits on Fireman Sam
Me: No. That should have been the first thing you ever said to me
Is it just me...
I’d does anyone laugh when the name Ed Balls gets said on TV?
I’m trying really hard to pretend it’s not funny and really try not to laugh. But stuff it. It is funny. He has the word balls in his name. That’s funny.
5 times a day, this conversation happens....
Caller: Hi is that Currys?
Me: No you have the wrong number
Caller: Oh. Can you give me the number for Currys?
Me: No. I don't know it.
Caller: Oh, Ok then.
So YOU ring the wrong number, and somehow it's MY responsibility to get you where you wanted to go in the first place?
