Wednesday 23rd December 2009

Oooh, but hungover. That's not good.
Along with having to cancel my bank card and oyster card - bad luck thieves/person who found the cards where I dropped them/me when I find the cards somewhere in my house - I also had to record a podcast with Andrew "Oin Stoin" Collings. You can't hear it yet. It's a spare one that we're gonna put out in early January when I am away on holiday. We reviewed the decade right from the first seconds where I was getting off with a girl I had just met in a pub, right through to the last moments where the plane taking me on holiday exploded as it crashed into the sea. And along the way we discussed whether 9/11 was a conspiracy and whether Sex in the City was a load of shit. I think we covered everything.
You'll be able to hear it next decade. But confusingly we're doing one next week that you'll be able to hear first. And if you want to listen to one now then the Christmas Festive 12 is up Though to be honest you're better off listening to it via iTunes and the Perfect 10, where it is properly recorded with microphones and jingles (but you miss out on about six minutes of crap before and after the official record).
Andrew Collings is the first civilian to get his hands on my new book. I expect he's read some of it by now. I wonder what he thinks. I now don't have one myself. That is how much I like Andrew Collings.
I watched a whole episode of Justin Lee Collins astonishing new show "Heads or Tails" which I hope will turn out to be a sophisticated parody of popular culture and humanity itself. But I don't think it is. My favourite part is when JLC did his "shaft" joke for the fourth time. It's actually a shaft of light, but he was implying it was his penis. And then my second favourite bit was where everyone discussed if the coin would come up heads or tails like there was some kind of way of determining such a thing in advance. I reckon with my finger clicking skills I could get it down to correct one in two times (and so far on die rolls I have achieved an astonishing 1 in 3 correctness - one of the three people who has been in touch rolled a 3, like I said they would).
Still a woman won £100,000 for her ability to say whether it was heads or tails about 50% of the time, with help from Anneka Rice who the woman considered to be very lucky as a result of getting the result of one toss correct.
Oh there's no point in taking the piss out of it. That's what they want.
