Socks: who is actually responsible for making socks fit comfortably around the human foot? And how is it possible for some socks to be a joy to put on, and other socks to be a total nightmare? I can see how the man or indeed woman on the street, having stumbled across this article, might think ‘this is ridiculous, what problem have I ever had with socks? What is this guy on about?’ But I ask you to have patience. Read more

You know that the world-wide-web has got everywhere when even the child on the bus, a child barely old enough to hold his own head up and have hair, I should say, points rudely at your not-quite-new mobile phone and says to his mummy, “Mummy, what is that?” And the Mummy looks at you with embarrassment—not for herself, but for you—and winces. “Oh, that’s just a man with a non internet phone, darling,: she says, turning away from Read more

Do you remember when you were at nursery school and you had to become a tree or a fish or somesuch? Well it was fun and some of the kids got a little bit overexcited! All drama schools have improvisation (impro) classes for their students. Things hadn’t changed much - it was still trees and fish and the like but it was all a bit more precise - cuttlefish/shark/squid/oak tree/willow etc.
However with the ever growing film industry impro started Read more

I am a massive fan of Edward Norton in his version of The Incredible Hulk, but I don’t know what to think about him reprising his role in the new Avengers movie. As much as he did a fine job, isn’t it a bit dodgy to keep letting the same actor play the same role over and over again? (Not to mention he might make everyone else look bad, since anyone in their right mind has to admit that The Read more

I have spent several years of my life being stalked by an Italian plumber. He was there when I had an old black and white Gameboy and again after I bought an SP Advance. And, as if that were not enough, he re-emerged when I got my Nintendo 64. Mario has starred in many of the very best games that I’ve owned.
But my favourite one of all was ‘Mario Kart 64’. What a truly brilliant game! The single player Read more

Are you bored of your job? Perhaps you fancy having a career change, but you are unsure of the right direction? If so, then here is the perfect blog for you! Welcome to the ‘Walnut Smoothie Career Personality Test’.
When I found this page I filled in the questions carefully and honestly. It did not take long for me to be given wise advice about employment… Within a few seconds I was informed that I was artistic, almost certainly gay and that I would die from some form of VD. Walnut Smoothie ten recommended that I consider a career in prostitution.

‘The Karaoke of Comedy’ has made me realise just how much fun it can be to make yourself look like an absolute fool… in public!
I have never had the privilege of taking part in a karaoke competition but I can imagine that it’s a really good laugh. I have just been sitting here wondering if I could rope a load of family and friends into having a go at it sometime. I’m all for making myself look like a right idiot and a lot of the time I manage to do it with only the minimal amount of effort…
Wow, I could be a natural!

I am not too sure who ‘Shrimp Rocket’ are but they sound like they are worth looking into. If their humour is as good as it appears to be then they should prove to be a very funny act.
Britain is getting fairly desperate for some decent comedy. Since the ‘golden years’, our country seems to have wandered into a bit of a ‘laughter famine’. I get really excited about groups that don’t just crack a load of jokes about hair loss treatments! Blog pages like this can help us to find out about some really talented people that we would not hear about in other places.
Why don’t you look up ‘Shrimp Rocket’ on the internet? I am certainly going to.

When you leave your home to work, you are there for one reason…to work. You are able to stay focused. Your home on the other hand, is more personal to you. It is very easy to lose your focus on your “job” and get involved with other things around you in your home. The best way to avoid distractions while working from home is by scheduling your work time. I set aside 4 to 5 hours each morning strictly for work and stick with it. That is my time to work and I do not deviate from it. This is what has actually allowed me to be successful at working from home.
One of the things I have been working on recently is I have been moderating at a beauty forum. This is great work, I get to chat about things I love and enjoy plus I get some really good beauty tips.

The London improvisation scene is exploding it seems. Whilst most industries are shrinking and consolidating as the “credit crunch” strikes down hard and fast, the improvisers of London are doing quite the oposite. In the last year the amount of impro groups has doubled, and there are more impro shows on than ever before. As the supply increases, so do the amount of people exposed to this very specific genre of performance. As more people try it out, more people are learning to love it… and thus does the industry grow not from the demand end, but infact from the supply end.
