One of yours originally, Skez:

That Chris I know from Manchester. Last I heard someone was trying to make a docu about him.

That was some shitty reffing.

Proper slow-motion eight-count. The worst referee I've witnessed looked like Freddy March's Hyde. I swear there was no more than two inches between his hairline and monobrow. You know that bit when Twenty backpedals from Bargearse's car at the end of Bargearse... well, that was how this guy moved around the ring. Locomotive Hyde, choo-choo.

He is from your ends, Bean, aye.

My favourite boxing name's probably Jukebox Timebomb. Funso Banjo's a good 'un. Proud Kilimanjaro fought some of the greats. (And Sithole.)

It's amazing, agreed.

Initially I was put off by it's 'dark' reputation. I didn't like the Brass Eye Special much (still don't) and didn't fancy listening to an hour or so of uncomfortable, unsettling savagery. But it's not really like that, some of it is slightly unpleasant (the TV series seems worse) but it just washes over you really, rather than horrifying you. Of course lots of it is just plain silly, and fucking hilarious. "Fucking Noddy?!?!" etc.

Soundtrack is great too.

That Reggie Watts.

Jut stumbled across this:



An excellent little routine. Here's a link to the Guardian article that introduced me to it.

Have we had Mitch Hedberg yet? 

Saw Dara O Briain tonight in Edinburgh.  He was brilliant.  He's the best stand up I've seen in person.

Night took an odd turn at the end when he (genuinely) asked two girls if they were having an issue as they were ready to walk out.  They accused him of having an issue with women.  When he asked what bit had given them that impression they asked for his views on 'women and technology'.  It was very weird and really knocked him off his stride.

Fairly recent Louis C.K. special:

Did he not give a good answer then? Was he being sexist? Stewart Lee in Ipswich the other week. Brilliant.

Nah he wasn't being sexist at all.  He didn't really have an answer because it was such a fuckin wierd/wank question to ask, though he did say he was on women's side for pretty much everything.  They weren't really wanting a discussion though.  They were drunk and were apparently 'throwing daggers' at him for the entire second half of the show.

It seemed to get to him that folk weren't enjoying themselves.  Tbh I was a wee bit annoyed at him for indulging them at all.  The 30/60 seconds he devoted to them to find out what was wrong was 25/55 seconds too long imo.

Went to see Rob Delaney last night, he of 'Catastrophe' fame.

Absolutely brilliant, I haven't laughed so much for a long time. It was an hour and a bit of freeform filth - go and see him if you can, even the bits that he hadn't quite worked out yet were hilarious simply because of his charm.

So many choice turns of phrase, but "Fuck mayonnaise" remains in the memory strongest.

Probably brought it in after the legislation a few years ago to reduce online touting

Given you are now thinking of selling the tickets they kind of have a point, although assuming you only want face value for them they should offer to buy them back from you or at least make them available for sale, IO think it was part of the same legislation, although legally you can sell them yourself but you mustn't ask for more than face value

Althuogh I just realised you're talking Ireland and Spain so I have no idea if any of this applies, except in the case of ticketmaster being pricks, I reckon that's why they are being (more) pricks

Desperate to go to London but I doubt I'll get the time off. Hmph. He's brilliant live as well.

Love Louis CK. Shame you can't make it.
