sorry Nick looks way to happy for me to recognise him.
Nah the misery is just a front - he's a very funny guy. Some great lines in his book (though the plot at the moment is a little too Chuck Palahniuk shocktastic for my liking).

He was quite good as an amiable doofus.

Yes...and he did juggle in "George of the Jungle"...

Not a short story, but 'The Castle' is pretty good.
