Video Blog – Readers’ Letters
November 23, 2007
I also messed up the joke – it’s his boss’s wife, not secretary. Doofus.
You know, every time now I drive past a bunch of cranes and buildings and I watch at the perspective change, I half expect them to converge into a giant 4.
My thoughts at the moment are flipping around like hummingbirds on crack.
Look after yourself. Weekend song tomorrow, followed by gay porn scrabble and later on, The Wisdom of Nasrullah Stanekzai.
Have a great weekend.

Talking of cranes, you reminded me of something I meant to tell you ages ago – in Cairo there’s a hospital which is built as a circular tower, with a large circular open shaft running from the ground to the ceiling in the centre. Each floor opens on to this space, with a circular balcony running around it. I guess the open shaft was meant to bring light and space into the hospital, but it ended up housing a large construction crane on the back of a truck. This is because…. yep, they stuck the crane in the centre of the site, and once they’d finished then realised they didn’t have a way to get the damn thing out.
The hospital staff hang fairy lights on it during ramadan.
You can stick your banjo where the sun don’t shine, mister.
And e-boy, the letter? If you’re going to fictionalise correspondence from me, at least do it on nice paper.
That was very funny. I like chuckling at my desk – it makes a change from banging my head on it.
Love it, Guy. They should stick one in the middle of Television Centre.
Wendy – very nice. Thanks for laughing – very kind. Although strangely, traffic on this site is down since I started doing the video posts. Maybe I’m scaring off my regulars. That’s me in the spotlight, losing my e-legion.
No, it was very very funny – I can see you’re destined for a career in showbiz.
Very nice. If I were a witty one I’d be posting a comment about the number of times you said or pretended to say ‘fuck’ in that segment, and then move right into how you should fire the set dresser and then move into your stationery budget, not to mention makeup and wardrobe. And THEN I’d write a funny, fake write-in letter and lob you a few softballs so you could hit them out of the park, then end the segment with a temper tantrum , flying coffee, and a Benny Hill tribute, complete with musical accompaniment..
Brilliant. I especially like the bit during the closing credits. Your stage manager should be sacked, if he doesn’t improve his attitude.
i confess, with all this new-fangled video posting i just assumed you weren’t interesting anymore and were looking to liven things up by flinging the same old crap at us in new formats.
[for those of you who don't know me; no, i don't mean that]
Meg’s right, the close was the piece de resistance, if you’ll pardon my etc.
[if anyone makes a crack about my etc. ...]
Am I allowed to say e-tard here? No?
Thanks Moll. I was cringing all morning, not sure if I should have posted this, but it was a lot of fun to do.
Thanks Meg. I blew all my budget on orchids. Blogs, hey? You can’t get the staff. Or paid. Or hired.
Hey Meester – “anymore”? You mean I actually was interesting?
Wendy – What’s an e-tard’s favourite snack? Disabled cookies.
Out of the park enough for you, Ed? Good production advice, by the way. Maybe close with a dance number?
Hilarious, I love it. I like “it’s her 30th birthday and she’s huge, I mean, she is a huge TIT fan.”
That sucker was still going UP when it left, and the FCC has notified the air traffic controllers in the area to keep all aircraft separated by at least a mile from it. I don’t think it’s come down yet.
Cliff – that’s WRONG!!
Their favourite biscuits are Graham Spackers and Ginger Nutters.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
