Hello.
You know when you're in a shop and you have to chose between two things you want to get, but you can only really get one? I had a choice between getting a life and getting a listography profile.
Seeing as how I like lists and bandwagons, this seemed like the ideal place for me.
I like TV Comedy, Doctor Who (might change my mind and get that life). I like Radio 4 (no actually it's a lost ...

  • One book you’re currently reading:

Got a chapter and an epilogue left of Being Human: Chasers. 'Tis all right. Now it's near the end it feels a little bit rushed, but there's a brilliant argument scene where Mark Michalowski gets their voices perfect. I'm also reading The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, funny proper literature. That's two, I know. what ya gonna do?

  • One book that changed your life:

I'm not sure any one book has. Lots of books have influenced my writing style. I'm currently writing a thing that's got lots of influences from The Talk Of The Town by Ardal O'Hanlon, which is one of the most proffessionally written books I've read by any comedian.

  • What is Your Favourite Word?

I like Antidisestablishmentarianism, coz it's a crazy long word, with so many parts, but suprisingly easy to spell. Just looking to check I didn't get it wrong. I like long complicated cool words like that, but often I don't like the people who use them. I'm odd like that.

  • What is your least favourite word?

Whilst! Pisses me off. Nobody says Whilst, you say while, but then people keep using it when they're writing and it annoys me. Clunge. For me it's a much more horrible word than the other C-word.

  • What turns you on?

Sense of humour. Yeah right, bollocks! It does. I like people who make me laugh. Someone witty said that "By good sense of humour, women mean 'someone who makes me ...
