OLD! (old)... always believe in your soul...

You know when you are getting on a bit when....

You watch a drama and immediately identify with a 'character' role before the 'hero' you are supposed to root for makes an appearance and despite the entire writing being designed to engage you with the lead it totally fails.


Knowing you will never play The Dane, basically.

So go on then, what was the drama?

You buy 'support garments'.

You enjoy a sunday afternoon at the theatre, without having first been up all weekend and still being shitfaced.

I never knew a Theatre open on a Sunday. Was this Theatre very thin and small and stripey and had a crocodile and sausages in the show? Very short cast?

Edwin Drood. I was rooting for drug addled choirmaster Jaspers before any of the heroes got on screen I honestly thought he was the lead. I keep forgetting everyone on television has to be 6 years old now in lead roles.

Have your parents not got rid of you yet?

They said '50 and not a day later, you'll have to get out there and find your own way in the world.'

I reckon I can only get away with sponging off them for another 20 or 30 years.

If all us Northern types went on holiday, what would happen here.....tumbleweed......

I'd reply that it doesn't matter and I'd just invent some more weirdos but I honestly don't have the brainpower to get any weirder than you lot.

That is a sort of compliment.

A thickly veiled compliment.
