Should we ask why?

It's a messy eater.

They can still find it you know... that's what happened to Gary Glitter...

Gary Glitter took his computer to PC world, and [pretty much said, it's broke I can't get at my paedo porn.

Any way I merely had a very unsexy virus.

Twice...

If only Langham had thought of that...

kjs

Maybe I am Langham?

ANyway longtime no see, what you been upto?

Banging my head against the keyboard... Trying to write a radio script, but it ain't happening at the mo'....

kjs

Alas what about?

45 minutes....

sorry...

It's a piece I started for the Sharps comp, but I got the dates mixed up so totally missed the deadline... oops...

So now I'm rewriting it for radio... waste not want not... but I'm not happy with the style or story so I might stick it in a draw and move onto something else... let it fester for a bit... see what happens...

Just been to the latest Newsrevue. A very good run. Probably because none of my stuff was in it. (Although apparently I've scored a few for Edinburgh so that's some consolation.) Sooty's sketches went down well, as did John Kelly's.

Anyway. I just want to say I heard the first disgruntled boo at Newsrevue I've ever heard tonight. And I've seen endless tasteless sketches about Maddie McCann, Jordan's baby, Fritzl etc go down a storm.

So what was the line of decency that was crossed tonight, you ask ? Someone wrote a joke about ... Terry Pratchett's Alzheimers. You can say what you like about incest and paedophilia on the Shannon Matthews estate, but don't diss the Pratchett apparently!

(NB I am a massive Pratchett fan, I've met the guy and he was lovely, and I think his books are clever and hilarious. It's tragic that he has Alzheimers, I have seen family friends suffer from it, as I'm sure many of us have, and it is terrible.)

Once saw some one reomoved from Treason by bouncers for heckling all the skits with Tony Blair in them. This was msot amusing as she was posh, very drunk (on Chardonnay), and apparently in full belief that The Treason Show had invagled Tony himself into appearing.

Being as I was in the show, I couldn't help but notice there was a groan of disaproval at the Stephen Hawkins gag.

Frankly if Maddy, or Shannon had written a novel of the superlative genius of Small Gods, maybe they'd have got a little bit more sympathy.
