I've been on Holiday...

Apologies for another entry chasm. It almost seems now like all my entries are just me saying sorry for not doing enough entries. Maybe I should change the title to "the man with no 9-5 yet is too lazy to tell you about anything". My latest excuse is that I took a 10 day holiday to Marbella, which is essentially like going on holiday in a warmer version of Liverpool or Essex. "Spot the Spaniard" was a popular holiday game.


I will try to get back into the flow of writing these weekly but I've been concentrating on trying to write my Edinburgh Show. Which, if you haven't bought tickets for I thoroughly recommend you do. I think it will be a lot better than last year's show and will include entries from my dad's food diary. Then again I also thought that a potato counted as one of my 5 a day, so what the chuff do I know.


I'm currently sitting in a flat in Dublin on a Friday evening before I go say some jokes. Therefore, I'll give you a couple of little observations from my Irish visit. It's probably my favourite visit to Ireland; not because of anything that's happened but because I bought some serious hand luggage. Good luggage is ridiculously expensive but then againI now feel like a badboy as it's got 4 wheels and I can push it along size me like a plastic pet. I've also seen a homeless man in Dublin with a pet rabbit. I know the recession is bad but how hard up have you got to be when you can't find a free stray dog? maybe he's so munted that he thinks it's a puppy? Either way I wanted to take a photo but felt guilty so just did the standard awkward thing of ignoring him. Tomorrow I plan on buying him a hutch.

My final note about Ireland is that it's so friendly over here that when I went to use a toilet from the train between Galway and Dublin, I locked the door and a voiceover said "Thank You". Nice touch. Although, a bizarre thing to thank a human being for. I did not get thanked after finishing my business.

Right I'm off to go eat 5 potatoes. Edinburgh link is on my website.

Bye,bye, bye...bye
