Co-incidentally I have never seen them in the same room at the same time.
About me: Well, what can I tell you that you don't already know?
Well, I am both Jewish and Welsh. When I was younger I wanted to grow up. I went to Drama School. I got kicked out. I started writing for people like Russ Abbot and Freddie Starr, then I decided to move into comedy instead. Am currently working as a standy-uppy comedian and writer. I've won a number of writing awards. That number is 2. Am presently writing on the second series of 'Genie in The House' - the highest rated children's show on Nickelodeon and 'The Slammer' - the highest rated children's show on BBC. I also have six of my own projects under option wth various production companies. Oh and I've just directed a documentary for Channel 4. Which got me arrested.
Who I'd like to meet: My neighbours. Olivia Newton John. The Pope. Scarlett Johanssen (although I will no doubt be disappointed. As will she). Buck Rogers.
Its been a crazy last quarter to the year for us. What with politicians, politics and mysterious, magically, disappearing discs aplenty. The Government is spinning wildly . . . out of control, lol.
Meanwhile, back in the real world . .
Have a great Christmas, and if you haven't already, sign the pledge. Go on you know you want to, a nice wee certificate to hang in the loo. And you are doing something to help protect your privacy and freedom, tah dah!

Hi, I have a new blog entry up, bit of a rant about the £50,000 A DAY the gov are spending right now on CONSULTANTS to work out how to sell us our own identities, please check it out and ad your suggestions how this money could be better spent, at the beginning of september i will round em up and send them on to my MP, wee Douglas - hope you can help!
you're ditching me as a friend! The cheek of it! Who avoided me all weekend, then changed their flights to ensure they did not have to sit next to the Darby's on an Easyjet plane? Did you have anything to do with the Glasgow debacle just to cover your tracks in your quest to steer clear of me. Sigh. ANd I always thought you were a nice boy :-)
All the girls and boys at NO2ID Glasgow gave your documentary the big thumbs up this weekend (Except Geraint, he likes to put it about that he doesn't watch TV - he thinks that might get him laid). And not actually all the girls cos I'm the only one. but you know... we loved it!
