I've only just started reading yesterday's paper,
but it’s kicked me right in the chest. The Observer have given away a little book of Lord Byron poems, and just read this one without thinking of every break-up you’ve ever lived through.
So We’ll Go No More A Roving
So, we’ll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword...

I went to True Stories Told Live in Islington on...
There was this army guy with a double barrelled surname who trained at Sandhurst, and when he was being introduced I was all like oh here we go but he was incredible. Funny and charming and intelligent and doing the voices and everything. I loved him. So much that I can’t remember his name, but I will remember not to be so judgemental.
Jude Rogers did a bit as well, about how her...

Things that went wrong during my pitch to the Old...
1: They had to mic me up for the filming but I was wearing a dress over my jeans so had to do the whole thing with my frock hitched up round my waist.
2: They filmed me walking down a corridor into the room but I had a squeaky shoe so I was walking with a limp to try to silence it.
3: The glue on my frisbees went funny and the pictures all came adrift.
4: I knocked my photo of Sophie...

I've been in Health & Safety training at work all...

“Effectively”
“In reality”
“Job’s a good’un”
“Throw it into the mix”
I did get two certificates with actual real embossing on them though, so can’t complain.

The power in my street was off for 8 hours today.
It’s a good job I was planning on staying in bed all day really. If I had actual stuff to do, and had to rely upon an alarm clock or a working shower or silly, insignificant things like central heating, the power thing would have been somewhat more inconvenient. Instead, I just put three jumpers, two scarves and a pair of gloves on, and then got back into bed. As it started to go dark, I...
