One reason why I like comedy is the way that a comedian can often manage to sum up a whole social issue in a one-liner that makes its point better than a politician could in an entire speech, and still make you laugh When politicians try humour it is cringeworthy at best, but when comedians […]

In the irony business
September 4th, 2013 · 1 Comment · Life
It only struck me yesterday, but there is something terribly ironic about all those adverts on TV with the Welsh opera singer, the meerkats and the little number plate-checking robot.

…of idiots? While Francis Maude has been busily rounding up government websites for the chop in order to save money, the government has been active in creating new ones to replace them. Best of the bunch, just for the sheer entertainment value, has to be yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk.
