I don’t want to be leader. I’m in it for cash

Soooo, topical post. Mayor time: Ken or Boris? Boris or Ken?

I’m for Ken. Apparently someone who works for him is a thief which makes him a thief. I dunno, I haven’t read the Evening Standard so I don’t know the ‘facts’.

Charlie Brooker said he wouldn’t trust Boris in charge of a mop, let alone a 10 billion pound railway project and frankly I’m inclined to agree.

Things were so much easier back in the stone age

Chalky White Face

I came back from holiday on Sunday. Lovely holiday it was too. It was brilliantly sunny for 4 out of 6 days. I even got a slight tan. Rocked up to work: no one noticed. Primarily because I’ve got such a chalky white face.

last minute Eddie

I went to an Eddie izzard gig last night. I only found out about it 5 hours before, rocked up and got a seat in the fifth row. How great is London?
It was billed as a work in progress but it was very much progressed, a full 2 hour show minus the make up and heels.

It was mostly all new material delivered at break neck speed much less wittery and rambling than previous works in progress I’ve seen.

Perhaps it was the tiny theatre or the fact that he was only 15 feet away but it was Eddie at his best. Fuck acting in LA his stand up is awesome (like a billion hotdogs, the dogs bollocks).

The set was about religion, no surprises there, gallopping along on great tangents about girarffs doing charads about tigers, coverting oxes becauses they have such nice big faces, a whole interlude looking up the wikipedia entry for nipple on his iPhone – brilliant stuff. Got a bit waffly towards the end but for a raw late night gig is was fantabulous. I didn’t get home till 3 but then that’s because tfl thinks that night buses don’t need to go to teddington because nobody from there ever goes out. This is mostly true except for me – its either a 50 quid cab or a bonkers 2 hour journey on two buses rambling around the houses in south London.

This is also written on the train on the blackberry so apologies for spelling punctuation and totally lack of pictures- I’ll upload my grainy phone ones later innit.

Caturdays….

I have many laughs about the endless caturdays floating around on the net. They’re brilliant and brilliantly stupid. Here’s my recent favourite

Who’s funnier?

I listen to Russell Brand’s bizare radio show on bbc radio two via the power of listen again interweb loveliness. But this week Noel Fielding was the guest host. The previously shambolic student style radio show was turned upside down and become perhaps even more chaotic.

Listen again at www.bbc.co.uk/radio2

For the time being here they are trying to out funny each other backstage at the Secret Policemen’s ball. Noel definitely wins.

Sarah Silverman.. so dead pan, so good

So no surprises that Sarah Silverman nearly made Paris Hilton cry at the MTV movie awards

I laughed and so did Jack Nicholson

What would Jesus do? He’d say ‘give the jew girl toys’

This planet’s about to fall apart like a pig in a blender

Here’s an advert from Greenpeace with Eddie Izzard, the bloke from the borrowers, and I think the guy from Belle & Sebastian.
