Many cameejuns
It should be clear by now that I’m not a poodle. At least they seem to learn by repetition. I seem to keep buying tickets to large-scale comedy gigs and optimistically expecting to enjoy it.

Oh noteriety, thy name has fewer vowels than you’d expect.
I’ve been writing a few reviews for the Qype web community site thing – as well as being quite a lot of fun to be able to air my overinflated opinions of things in a public forum, it’s also quite a handy guide to things that might be good or not good in… well, it’s…

Nature can pull off some pretty impressive shit sometimes…
