Bye-Bye Corkscrew, bye-bye nausia, hello feeling like you’re going to die

You'll be missed, although I never went on it...

Yes, the one and only corkscrew is closing down in Alton Towers.  I’d never ridden it, in fact I’ve never been to Alton Towers but I hear people liked it.  Now it’s going to be replaced by something even more sepectacular, a ‘world’s first’ even.  Bloody hell, count me out.  I’ve never really been one for riding roller coasters.  I went on ‘Rock and Roll Rollercoaster’ at Disneyland once and it was quite good…although my eyes were shut for the most part.  I’d probably get on with Roller Coasters if I could really be bothered, but really, paying money to que for an hour, waiting for something that feels like it’s going to be your death?  I’ll stay at home and watch Paul O Grady.  I know, lazy.

Sorry I haven’t blogged for a couple of days, I must stay in the habit.  It’s this Thornbury FM malarky.  Was on with James Hutchings 10-12pm on Thursday which was great fun, then again on Saturday for my show 7-8pm.  That went well as well, had a couple of lighthearted jabs at Thornbury FM managment (there were questions whether I was going to get a show this year), but I’m sure they’ll see the funny side.

School tomorrow, again.  I have no further comment.

In the studio again tomorrow playing in St. Mary’s school’s show for Thornbury FM (thornburyfm.org).  But, great news as they’ve only managed to do two 17 minute slots, so I get 17 minutes to do what I want with.  Apparently St. Mary’s have been very apologetic – don’t be!  I’d have the hour if they’d let me.  Perhaps I won’t play Celebrawho though (somehow I knew a game based on drawings wouldn’t work on radio, don’t ask why it was just a hunch) or ask for any fruity emails (don’t ask).

I’m currently looking for a Farce for drama, and not getting much luck.  I’d love to perform a Farce for our final piece, but most of them involve about 30 people or are so old we’d grow mould if we performed them.  “Alas, ye vicar with ye trousers down”.  Maybe not.
