    Today, I shall mostly be waiting. Patiently, but expectantly.

    Disturbing development of the day was receiving a spam that told me I’d "look good with a new electric wheelchair". Please, with a little luck, I intend to achieve a whole list of things before I need one of those.

    Gordon Bennett. Mind far too far away. I’m off to bed.

    Trivia: which country, or dependency, has the oldest continuous parliament in the world, sitting for 1024 years?

    Time to book yourself into lovely Lizzie Roper’s new Edinburgh Show, roll up, roll up, don’t be shy! Tickets are selling fast so make sure you ring now and book your place! Its a show about Boobs and Nuns and gerbils and defeat and joy and gin and despair. I play four new fabulous characters, all warped extensions of myself and in between I burble on in that weird way. Bring your friends, bring your love, bring your support, but most of all PICK UP THE PHONE AND RESERVE YOUR PLACE NOW BEFORE IT GETS SOLD OUT!!!

    Time Out’s already called it genius!!!

    At Last! After six years at the fringe collaborating on numerous successful projects, Lizzie Roper finally brings us what we’ve all been waiting for,
    her first one woman show!

    "She’s funnier than me!" Scott Capurro.

    Self-satisfaction without touching yourself! Lizzie Roper takes you on a hilarious journey through personal confusion. How do we get from being all things to everyone, to the person that satisfies our-self?

    A SHOW ABOUT GETTING OLDER
    AND GROWING YOUNGER

    "Split-personality, multiple-orgasmic, she wriggles, you giggle, this crazy lady keeps you drooling for more" LBC.

    (I’m also on LBC tomorrow, Saturday, on Roland Rivrons show at 4.30pm – listen in, it would be lovely to have you!)

    This comes to me via Fi. Anything you can do to support this, even if only to raise awareness by posting the link on your own website if you have one, is worth doing.

  • For my next trip to

    For my next trip to America, I’ve booked my flight with United Airlines via the American Airlines website, and the tickets have arrived from an address in Spain. I’ll be flying from Heathrow to Santa Barbara via San Francisco, and returning from Sacramento via Los Angeles.
    Now look at an atlas and see if any of this makes sense. Surely there must be a more effective way of doing things.

  • I don’t subscribe to the

    I don’t subscribe to the "asking for trouble" argument with this sort of thing, as I don’t think anyone would actually ask to be raped or abducted, but in the case of the girl who escaped abduction in Doncaster the other day, one has to ask: what on earth was a sixteen year old girl doing walking alone at 3.20am?
