Hola. I hope you are all well.
I was doing a poetry workshop this morning, which means it delayed this blog. Can you believe this thing called work has impinged on this blog? I must do something about this.
I also feel I must apologise for the fact that David Cameron is not doing the blog this week. I did say in last week's post that I was going to get the PM to be a guest blogger. Unfortunately he couldn't make it, I think he's in India upsetting the Pakistanis.
In last week's post I also jokingly said the 'Big Society' may result in the women from the local Bridge club becoming prostitutes. I was contacted by a lady at my local Bridge club who assured me her ladies had no intention of becoming prostitutes. All I can do at this stage is to apologise for any confusion and to warn you that this probably applies to the women at your local bridge club. Hope that clears that up.
Also on last week's blog I mentioned how I had been doing some re-pointing at my mum's house. Well it's kind of taken over my daily thoughts. I'll be out and about analysing walls and at times horrified at how decayed some of these bricks are. This can't be right for a man in his mid-thirties. Aren't I supposed to be thinking of sex every 7 seconds not trowels and cement?
I had some good news last week. Well, initially it was good news but then it turned a little sour. The good news was I made it into my local newspaper, the South Manchester Reporter. It was a nice article and even made me seem like a go getting writer and performer. The only problem (not for me) was that in the article it described me as single, which technically I am as I'm not married. This however didn't go down well with 'Her With One Permanent Job's' Nana, who appears to think I'm using my new found fame (the local paper) as a way of attracting the ladies, if you know what I mean. Admittedly I am a hunk of burning love and added with this media spotlight, I can see why she might be concerned for her Granddaughter. But to be honest I haven't got the time, the money, or the inclination to be dating scores of women. Maybe I have the time but the other 2 factors remain true.
Plus these women are only attracted to people more famous than me. If a woman is willing to sleep with me because she thinks I can open doors to the world of showbiz, she's either deluded or lacking in ambition. There's plenty of famous comedians out there, with a reputation for womanising that these women could take advantage of, such as this guy.
And Finally... I thought I'd give you the heads up on a couple of things I'm upto. This Weds 4th Aug, I will be on the Becky Want radio show on BBC Radio Manchester, a little after 4pm, talking about public transport.
And I will be doing 4 nights at the Edinburgh Fest from Thurs 19th Aug-Sun 22nd. The show is called 'Argos Catalogue of Disasters'. It will feature fellow comic poets Marvin Cheeseman and Steve Rooney. If you are at the fest (or know someone who is) for these dates, come along and the best thing it is Free.

Til Next week, Stay safe!
