The Riding Officer

So – entered a competition recently. The Sitcom Trials at The Lass O’Gowrie in Manchester took place last night, and my first complete (well, ten minutes) comedy script got as far as being performed along two others! Based on the barely-known job of the Riding Officers of the North Yorkshire coast in the…

The Death of Comedy

So a lot of work has been done over recent months with the aim of positioning myself so basically survive outside the traditional workplace. By focussing on these income streams, a few sacrifices are having to be made – and one of these is www.quintessentialcomedy.com. My “great idea” of 2006 was to have…

Coming Up…

Balancing study with Brighthub is going remarkably well, although it seems that there is scope to increase my Brighthub output if certain situations change in the near future. We’ll have to see how this goes, of course… In between having fantasies of reforming bands and entering competitions on Absolute, I’ve been expanding the…

Meanwhile, my own special project that I will reveal to the…

Get Over It, Me

Aha – yes I must confess, I’ve been sweating over something for the past couple of days that really hasn’t been pleasant. I’m just about over the disappointment of being turned down for a gig I was really interested in doing – which happens quite often but on this occasion I was invited…

Big Opportunity

I woke up on Sunday morning with a vague recollection that something rather smashing had come my way this weekend. Due to the intake of wine the evening before, however, I wasn’t quite able to collect my thoughts for long enough for it to really hit home. (I should add at this stage…

Don’t Forget Love

Relatives are important – for several reasons: They love you

Napoleon!

Loads of great stuff to do this week – not least playtesting Napoleon: Total War for either review or walkthroughs or if I’m really lucky – both! I haven’t been this excited by a strategy game in years, and I’m certain this is going to be great fun. Meanwhile I’ve got 4 days…
