The red mist of blogging ineptitude -
Categories: Well, I've just lost an hour's worth of blog, clicking the 'save' button which crashed the blogging software as it tried to save what I wrote.
I'll try the blog entry again tomorrow. It was quite interesting, so hopefully will be again, when my red mist about losing it all has subsided. Moral of this story: cut and paste it into notepad and save it there instead - web browsers are not your friend.
That red mist is somewhat prophetic as my Edinburgh preview at Fat Tuesday tonight had all the notes printed in red. My Hewlett Packd-up printer decided to run out of black ink when printing out the script and I could only get it done by turning the text red. If you saw my performance tonight and was wondering why it was so angry, that's the reason. Before going on stage Phil Nichol warned me that he'd done that before - highlighting important notes in red - and found the red spotlight 'wash' on stage rendered them invisible. Thankfully, no such problems here.
Still, not hugely annoyed as my debut on Radio 4's political animal went out tonight and I got a healthy large chunk of the airtime. Very cleverly edited and good to see how radio editors are able to take out chunks of your set-up that you always thought was essential, but clearly, isn't. You can hear me alongside Chris Addison and David Cross (yes he of Arrested Development fame) alongside Andy Zaltzman and John Oliver here.
Yesterday I got up at 4am, today I'm off to bed at 3:45 am. I'm already on Edinburgh time it appears.
