Hi GL. He's very good! Puts me in mind of a cheerier Stephen Wright. Shame he's not with us anymore. I used to love Bill Hicks for his really dark and challenging humour.
Its all in his delivery really - when you look at what he says its not that funny, but when its him saying it I roll around with laughter. I have a CD of him and I love it. Its almost beat comedy!
Yes, that's true. I presume he fell foul of recreational drugs?
Officially yes, although he also had a heart defect that probably didn't help.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Officially yes, although he also had a heart defect that probably didn't help."Oh dear. I was guessing from his somewhat agitated manner. Mind you, I'd be pretty agitated if I was trying to do stand-up.
He suffered badly from stage-fright too. I was just reading his wipipedia article.

yeah - all credit to him!
Speaking of untimely demises, I'm just finishing re-reading Harry Thompson's "Penguins Stopped Play", which is the sort of book that Bill Bryson would have written if he played cricket.
Thats an irresistable description!
I went and bought it too - just arrived today.Whats up? Why have you got the humph?
I was reading that manuscript...humph!!!

The 'Penguins stopped play' book Philip.

Hi Philip I'm at work at the moment and quite busy today - also is a bit annoyng to try and leave a comment and be asked to set up a profile and stuff, so I tend not to do it.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "Hi Philip I'm at work at the moment and quite busy today - also is a bit annoyng to try and leave a comment and be asked to set up a profile and stuff, so I tend not to do it."Quite understand. I didn't actually mean on the blog, but here.
You know, it's quite cosy under here. A little musty, I'll give you, but I put that down to my Willowbark and Burdock moisturiser which smells like something died in the tube years ago.
Patti (Perky Pineapple) wrote: "I have the talc."What, Willowbark and Burdock?
maybe she meant musky...
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "maybe she meant musky..."Wasn't that Deputy Dawg's sidekick?
Dunno - its a very long time since I saw him...
No I meant Musty. It's been in the cupboard a long time.
Having another transparent day today!

Some rather nice dishes being discussed in the morning thread at the moment...

You wouldn't say that if you saw me ;-)
but would I be able to see you?
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "but would I be able to see you?"Curses! Trapped by a logical paradox!
Delivered by GL, no less!Now THAT is frightening.
You need a 'Get out of paradox free' card.
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "You need a 'Get out of paradox free' card."Sounds like a brand of washing powder,doesn't it? "Try new miracle Paradox for whiter whites"
Your whites would be paradoxically white. Actually I don't think I have any whites, all my clothes are coloured.
I suppose that blue-white that Daz were always promising us would be an example of a paradox.
This is apropos nothing at all. I'm currently just 30 sales away from having sold 4,000 copies of
. Sad, the things we get excited about, isn't it? ;-)
i think thats very much worth getting excited about! Are you going to have a 4000 party when you get there?
Gingerlily (or Cyberlily..) wrote: "i think thats very much worth getting excited about! Are you going to have a 4000 party when you get there?"I don't think I've got room! I normally hold my fan club conventions in a telephone box ;-)
See if you can borrow a garden shed from someone then. Steve Robinson has rather a nice one I think.
