I'm not doing atand up at all any more. I've started work on a musical act. I liked my old set, but stand up never quite sat right with me.

Really? I've no idea what you singing voice is like, but you seem a natural at the stand-up game.

My singing voice is better than my speaking one. To be honest I will probably ending up mixing both. I like the sound of my own voice in whichever medium.

Ha! Is that really a thing?

Yep, along with 'any road up'. Though I have noticed that when you go oop north, they seem to use the same idioms from Manchester to Yorkshire. Such as 'our Gary' and replacing the word 'The' with just the letter T.

I do like the way Northers say 'bastard' though, it is ace.

I like it when they call people cock as a term of affection. They say it on Coronation Street so I know it isn't a swear!

Noooo!!!!

Please no singing in female comedy, it's a cliche and comedy songs are neither good comedy or good songs.

By all means, sing and do comedy, but keep them separate. (please)

I say it as 'bastud'. What's the typical northern version?

Bass-ted and said really quickly. Unlike our southern barrrs-taaaaard.

I'm attempting breaking the mould by writing legit decent songs. I will have to test them out on you, it seems!

Twas the catchphrase of Marmalade Atkins, which was on children's hour. I daresay a lot of children thought the show was much ruder than it actually was.

I quite like the way northerners say fook.

I am an extremely harsh critic.

rgary... and no T instead of 'the' in Yorkshire, just leave it out altogether, you bastard.
