Bag pipes are rubbish.

Public Transport update: I got on the ferry again this morning, it was a pleasant journey if truth be told. In attempt to raise money for help the heroes, there was a bag piper (bag pipe player?) onboard which would have been lovely if I didn’t loath the sound.

I was walking down the street today and a ‘bus stop maintenance’ man wolf whistled at me, I have made it as a woman. I think I must look a bit awesome today though because a pleasant woman stopped me in the street and said she loved my ensemble-go me!

Ok, I would like to extend my apologies to those of whom I may or may not have offended/confused with my random face book wall posts. I feel that the cause may be down to the fact that I’ve had little sleep over the past two days and have consumed a copious amount of caffeine, that and I’m a bit of a freak (sexy freak)

I want to talk a little bit about sick humour if I may. I performed at a gig the other night where the topic of the Japan disaster was the source of one act’s material. The room was painfully silent through out, primarily it was a “oh no he did not just go there” silence but also his joke was lame as. The world is in shock right now and I honestly feel that is truly ‘too soon’ for these jokes. The BBC have released an article in their news magazine regarding this very topic, it’s entitled: Why do people tell sick jokes about tragedies? It’s really interesting if anyone fancies a gander here’s the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12775389

The comments at the end are also worth a read one guy said:

I think we have to take a view that either everything can be joked about, or nothing. As soon as humour is censored, it's the thin end of the wedge. Curtailing any form of expression towards the lowest common denominator is the 1st step to the complete erosion of freedom of speech and civil liberties. Humour may seem banal, but it's still an important outlet.

I don’t like the word banal. This guy does have a point though, we can’t set out rules for what can and can’t be said. A comedian however needs to take responsibility for their words. Its your prerogative to say what you want to say, be warned though it may be that you’ll be booed off stage/heckled or simply disliked. If you have a dark sense of humour naturally and are clever with your jokes then perhaps you’ll get away with it, if you’re just trying to shock or be something you’re not then why bother? A crap joke is a crap joke, a crap joke about a sensitive subject is just salt in the wound.

On a lighter note lets all laugh at John Cleese shout at his car (my favourite clip ever):
