I recently joined a debating society that meets at a nudist colony - it’s all talk and no trousers. #lunchpun

Can’t help but wonder if Glenn Hoddle is such a tedious co-commentator due to something he did in a previous life πŸ˜‰

You tell yourself you’ll only watch 5 minutes of the skiing, and before you know it you’ve watched 3 hours. It’s a slippery slope. #winterolympics

A lot of people think Ed Sheeran is amazing, but his cover of The A-Team sounds nothing like the original theme tune.

I had a phone call to say that I can take an escort to my next hospital appointment. I’m glad it’s only 45 minutes, as I can’t afford to pay the agency the full hour.

Had an excellent gig last night at Allsortz Comedy in Barnet!

A well-run, friendly, and well attended gig with an audience who enjoyed a great lineup of comedians.

My set went down very well, as you can see from the smile on my face!

Recently I’ve been struggling to put food on the table. I’m fine for money, I just would make a terrible waiter.

It’s World Parkinson’s Day.

Why not celebrate by asking someone you know with Parkinson’s if they have tried yoga, cannabis, or turmeric.

Understanding is like marmite: a little goes a long way. Marmite is better on crumpets though.

This is probably my favourite photo I have from my gigs. To be fair, I normally don’t stand still enough to get a non-blurry one!
