English (UK)   I heard that you were talking shit and you didn’t think that I would hear it....  -  Categories: Blog  -  @ 01:59:13 pm

My hands are covered in blisters and my right buttock is pulled. BUT MY FURNITURE IS UP! Thats quite an achievement. My good pal Heather came over to help me and help me she did. We just had to have a system. We got the system and we did it!

Granted, by the time it got round to 11pm and we were assembling the last chest of drawers we were down to playing, "Guess the TV Theme tune" and Heather claimed she knew the dance to "Wizbit" when once she'd performed it, we both realised she didn't know this dance, and I gladly demonstrated this by performing it accurately. Heather then claimed that "Button Moon" was sexist. "Why?" I asked. "Because the daughter wasn't ever allowed to go with Mr Spoon on a trip in the spaceship" I never noticed that to be honest, I just thought she wasn't old enough or something. The crescendo of the game came around midnight when I started to sing the popular kids show "Lets Pretend" and Heather said rather seriously that my version of this sounded ghostly and eerie. (I was singing it quite slowly so maybe that was it.)

Now my flat looks like I've just moved in again with crapola everywhere, but its all new smelling like the shop "Texas" which I don't think exists anymore.

So I read in the news today that children as young as ten will be judging other youth on their crimes and wrong doings. WHAT!??

"Kids are taking over with their 'no-rule', adults SUCK mentality... "

"I KNOW! Lets give them MORE power."


Good one.

In other news I've got a hacky cough, its gross.

I have two gigs this weekend, both MCing in far away places. Friday's in Bury St Edmunds, and Sunday night's is Portsmouth. I love MCing, its my very favourite thing in the whole world (of comedy). Only problem with this is, sunday is the last "Soprano's". Sunday's penultimate episode was mental. I haven't got Sky Plus which means I'll have to watch it tuesday which means that my mates Leon and Denis will know whats happened before me and that simply will not do.

Gareth's in Scotland at the moment doing The Stand at both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and apparently the Ed one last night when damned well! Jolly good!

Oh my God I had a rehearsal on thursday for Catface Cabaret and me and two of my dancer friends are doing this new routine in one part of the show. They're so good at dancing, like they're out of Top of the Pops, and its WELL hard to keep up with their Pineapple Studio's style moves.. Don't forget, this show is on the 4th November. Come along if you can.

I'm contemplating going for a sun bed. Tiz true, I am almost see-through with pale-ness and I do have 100 mins to use up at Fitness First for ladies, but its cold out. Hmmm yeah, I'll go. Next time I write I shall be a bronze goddess. (sort of)...

English (UK)   Now half the world hates the other half, and half the world has all the food...  -  Categories: Blog  -  @ 11:45:42 am

I feel torn between facebook and My Space - I hate that people who used to update their My space pages regular, no longer do... Like for example blogs. I only read a few blogs and for different reasons. To be completely honest, there are one or two blogs I read of people who aren't my myspace "friends". Like there's this girl who's linked through someone who IS my friend on my space, and her blogs are hilarious. She's a right dick and she hasn't updated in months and this hurts me quite frankly.

There are still a few decent blogs being updated, like Nancy's, Christina's, Katie's, Jo's and Gareth's. These people all have interesting blogs but you can't access them all unless you are pals with them.

Things I like about facebook are that you can easily see when people are online and when their status's are updated. But this seems stalkerish to me, also you can find out loads about people too which is great for nosy people like me. If you join the network of the person you wish to stalk, you can do so and then check out their profiles and find out all sorts of information about them and then never use it against them............ (except of course in your mind)

I've noticed that lots of people on facebook have pictures of themselves horsing around in tents at festivals and camping and such. And for some reason this tent action makes them appear the height of cool! Therefore I propose that I hotfoot it to my nearest back garden (my mum and dad's) and simulate a cool camping scene. I shall then post these up on facebook (they'll never know the pics are faux as facebook's don't look on myspace anymore) and write a caption underneath like..."Me, baz, korky and Cazzza VERY wet, HAA HAA" (I'd need some extras for this simulation though, this could prove difficult.)

I've been doing shit-loads of overtime at MTV and its really helping me financially. I ordered new furniture for my bedroom like a proper lady on monday. The only problem being, it needs to be assembled by mere mortals such as myself... I'm not very good at DIY, and neither unfortunately is Gareth so will probably sit flat packed for a few months... BOO. Oh well at least I got it now.

So all's good in my world if a little busy. Catface Cabaret looms, this show takes lots of organisation but I'm limited on time owing to going to Munich for the EMA's, and fitting in rehearsals for other projects. I've started a new comedy club at the Bath House too, every second wednesday as of January, and for now the dates I have booked for this night are the 8th November and 5th December. The night is called "Catface Comedy @ the Bath House" and its a joint effort by myself and Gareth.

So, dates to remember are CATFACE CABARET on 4th Nov at the Hen and Chickens Theatre, and Catface Comedy at the Bath House on the 8th November. Get involved my friends, get involved.

Till next time...

English (UK)   I’m a bitch (I’m a lover etc etc)  -  Categories: Blog  -  @ 04:27:40 pm


I've lost one of my blog readers! I KNOW THIS, but which one is it? I'm completely insulted. Re-subscribe immediately whoever you are and we'll say no more about it.

This week has been fun. We had Sandy Holey on Tuesday and it was good. We were trying to get lots of industry types in to say nice things about us and to make special things happen. But its really hard to know people of industry status! I mean, I'm an industry person. I'm a channel manager at MTV and a stand-up comedian by night (sometimes). I mean INDUSTRY people. Not the monkey's yeh? The organ grinders, thats right. Once when I worked at TV Travel Shop I picked up the phone and said

"Good afternoon, TV Travel Shop, how can I help you?"

and the bloke caller went

"Look, I don't wanna speak to anymore fucking monkeys, get me the fucking organ grinder!"

See I hadn't heard this monkey/organ grinder saying before so was thinking, wow he's calling me a monkey, dats sweet, monkeys rule. Not really, I cut him off.

Anyway back to my story... SO! Although we sold out, yeah thats right, sold out. We didn;t have many industry types in, and its so annoying cause we just need them to see it. If your reading this industry types, can you tell me how I make you come and see Sandy Hole please? Anyway, the show was good, except for my "friend" from Australia who was MASHED with his wife and heckled loads. Very embarrassing, I had to tell him to shut up lots. He's a good lad, but didn't 'alf make me feel a twat.

Regarding the title of this blog, which I never do, I have been being a bit of a naughty cat of late. BUT, I just went on an Emotional Fitness course and I feel all cured! I'm going to stop being angry and stop being shouty. I also did an UNLEASH MY CREATIVITY course, to help me with the block that seems to be blocking me from writing really good/funny new stuff.

Lets see if it works, shall we?

Till next time... x
