Things going on......


1.) I've discovered the League of Gentlemen...typically a couple of years after it's stopped being made. How the fuck did i miss this absolute comedy gem? A veritable cornucopia of bizarre and disturbing comedy characters set in a village that can only be described as 'decidedly odd and not a little scary'.

Much like the one I live in...examples to follow!

As pictured the the iconic Papa Lazarou is quite simply one of the most disturbing characters I've ever seen on any TV show let alone such a multi-layered and intellectually challenging black comedy like this. And as for Tubbs and Edward......

2.) It's the 18th March apparently. That's the new D-Day for us at The Company. A day when we find out whether we have jobs going forward or are out on our ear. Invites to see Mr Blonde on Monday will not be good news. Squeaky bum time as a famous football manager likes to say.

3.) Open University studies. Yep, that'd be me who'd forgotten just how time consuming these can be. Muppet. Still, just this year and an exam pass and dopey old me will be a BA! And they say academic standards have dropped?

4.) Ricky Gervais. I downloaded 'Fame' his latest stand up show and laughed like a fucking drain. Totally un-pc, totally funny. Very clever. Bought the real thing plus his other two in a box set because it's guaranteed to make me laugh no matter how I feel. A clip from Animals, his first ever stand up show...bearing in mind he'd never toured or done stand up before. Very subtle, but very funny.

5.) Ditto Steve Coogans, comedy classic, Alan Partridge. Comedy Gold over both series. Example...check this link out first...and then this!

6.) Gout in the elbow? Why me? No, it's not fucking funny and yes, it is fucking painful.

7.) I love my Cuban Cigars. They're my real treat on a Friday now. Smoking bad for you? yeah...but one of these a week and my eyes are opened to the real difference between smoking chemical filled fags, and these beauties.

8.) Chelsea - my beloved Blues are creating turmoil in my life mainly due to the sacking of the greatest coach we've ever had, Jose Mourinho and replacing him with the litle know, inexperienced interloper, Avram Grant. read more here at my favourite, most intelligent football blog site.
