The Jase

I've swapped New Year's resolutions for New Year's resignations!

Imagine being at a party and chatting to your friends when some random tech bro barges in, gets out his phone and starts awkwardly reading out "your ass is so big they're doing helicopter tours."

Robin Askwith has some good Val Guest stories.

There's a similar video on why Raiders looks so good. Still to this day it's hard to imagine something looking better.

I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon.

What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Who's been bullying you?! I'll go round and kick their arse.

I've noticed from teaching 1 to 1 guitar lessons that people's 1st finger has a habit of flying off all over the place so this is a little exercise I came up with to help keep it in place.

It's beautiful. And it's nice to have something in common with Eric Morecambe in that as teens we both started out in working men's clubs up north.

Mad to think Mark and I are ‘performing’ in these magnificent theatres. Nottingham Theatre Royal on this occasion. Thanks to everyone who came. Next year there’s LINCOLN, SHEFFIELD, NORWICH, DOUGLAS, EDINBURGH and ULVERSTON. Then that’s most likely the end of this mad part of our mad lives. 🩵

Music, film, even satire will all be completely AI generated soon and all that will be left for humans to do is to crawl back into the pits from whence we came.
