16th August- 24th September



Hey team. I’ve been away the last few weeks so have been slack at updating this little badboy. Rather than wrack my head trying to remember what happened on each specific week, I’ll give a quick precise of where I’ve been with a couple of highlights.
After a week long Edinburgh shaped bender I pretty much just watched the TV box set “Entourage” in a week. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s like “Sex and the City” for dudes: it’s funny, silly and always contains double barrelled fitties. The character Ari Gold (the agent) is one of the greatest characters in TV history.

I also went to Notting Hill Carnival. I’d never been before due to always being in Edinburgh for the whole of August. It was great. A full day of drinking and partying with friend in a bustling atmosphere is pretty much ideal to me. Although, I’d recommend bringing a pack lunch because paying £6 for a hamster sized portion of chicken, rice and peas unsettled the tight fisted pikey on my shoulder.

I’ve just got back from spending two weeks in Bali with my house mate Be. I feel so relaxed after a fortnight of getting a sun burnt belly and drinking small bottles of Bintang. Amusing things that happened were me getting chased by a Ladyboy on a moped at 5am after I’d gone on a solo mission for late night grub. The problem was I was wearing flip-flops so me running off made me look like ,what is known in the trade, as a bit of a cock-tease. My wooden duck Graham who I take to all countries went down a treat with the locals…all of them wanted to buy him off me. Wooden ducks must be sacred in Asia. Incidentally every souvenir shop I went into had shelves dedicated to massive wooden dongs. Why? In a souvenir shop? A place where you primarily buy gifts for your family, who’s ever thought, “My mum would love one of those …as she’s allergic to rubber”. I bought my mum 3.

It was a fun trip and has giving me new stuff to chat about on stage. I didn’t go diving or visit any temples. The most cultural thing we did was go to a water park and a swim up bar. Two key things you must do to prove you’re on holiday.
