Have you got a WKD side? I know I have. You see, I like to do things that are in no way funny, original or clever. But luckily, I have 3 or 4 friends that feel the same way and often join me in my endeavors.
Once, I got my wife to do the washing up and my nan to clean my van. Then, I showed how much of a WKD side I have, I joined a gym but only used the Jacuzzi. I know, I am fucking mad.
My mate though, he is worse. He got a drill and made it look like he is a robot. Our other mate though, he is the maddest of all, he turned on a heater in a van when we were going to play football in the cold.
I think that by drinking these novelty drinks we really are showing our true evil selves, or, to the layman, we could be perceived as acting like utter cunts, it's a tight rope to be honest.
Poor Lenny Henry, it would seem that he is really experiencing hard times due to Le Crunch and a nervous breakdown seems to have been caught on camera. Nicholas Ball is also having a tough time, he has found himself becoming Henry's road manager. Obviously, due to Ball's inexperience, he has booked Henry into a Premier Inn. Henry is so happy to be anywhere, that he immediately falls in love with the motel and lies on his bed in a bright yellow robe.
Presumably, he begins to feel tainted and somehow, dirty, thinking that he is probably lying where a prostitute may have died. He immediately takes a long bath to recover, where in, his depression sinks in again and he immediately falls in love with a small rubber duck. The waitress at dinner seems to be the first witness to this outside of the Henry camp, as Lenny demands some bread for his companion, the small rubber duck, which I am sure is now matted in spunk.
The following morning, Henry, now enraged, tells Nicholas Ball that he has found something "Small time" by which he means the bill. This moment is telling, as it is here you see Henry's bipolar condition really hit. He goes from very angry to happy in seconds, I am sure Stephen Fry would have a field day with that.
I saw part of the Comedy Awards last night, it was nice to see Geoffrey Perkins getting so much praise, it was very sad when he died. Not only was he an amazing producer with a real Midas touch, he was a really funny performer as well, I still find his voice hilarious in that Father Ted episode when Father Jose Fernandez visits and Perkins provided the dubbing. Another highlight last night was Angus Deayton's comment about Jonathan Ross, he said, "Jonathan Ross must be waiting at home anxiously wondering if the phone would ever ring again - giving him an insight into the life of his brother Paul."
Christmas is officially here now, the wife and I went out today and bought a small tree, so we can get in the spirit, well, as much as a foot high tree is getting into the spirit, but, in the words of 80's TV detective Hunter, it works for me.
The other clear indication is that every fucking advert on TV at the moment is some poncey nonsensical perfume/after shave advert. I swear they are just getting more and more shit with each christmas. I don't want to see some model saying a word they have never previously heard of, I want to see how the Redknapp family play their Wii.
Mind you, I thought I was right when I said I would never buy a Renault.
