I arrived in at 6.30 this morning, as you’ll all know from my hilarious earlier post. F.Y.I, on the plane I watched a documentary about two men who had a pet lion. I also did some cryptic crosswords with Tim Key (a brilliant poet whose show “The Slutcracker” is on at the festival and I heartily recommend it.). In the last week I’ve had a radical rethink about cryptic crosswords. I used to think they were an impenetrable arsehole’s game that I’d never be able to decipher. Now I think they are an impenetrable arsehole’s game that within twenty years I may be able to decipher.
How many people will I now get visiting this blog solely because they have googled “Impenetrable arsehole game”, I wonder?
This afternoon I did an interview for the comedy channel, during which we approached the first stranger and I asked her if she could give me some advice on how to be honourable. She said “Try your reasonable best”. I liked how laid back it was. Not “Try your hardest”, more “60% should do it”.
It is a wonderful thing to be back in this beautiful city.
Also I forgot that your cans and bottles of drink are larger than those of my homeland. WHAT”S THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!?! I like it.

Welcome back to my adopted home town! I am currently in my original home town (London Town), but will be back in the Land of the Lucksmiths (Rock In Peace) in a week, and look forward to laughing heartily at the things you say and do. Thanks for being awesome, and keep up the good work!

I saw one of your previews in the faux-bedroom at Hen and Chickens (did you take any of its contents with you, for luck?). It was immense fun.
Enjoy the giant-sized bottles in Australia (are Australians working to a different scale to us? Are they generally bigger? What about their hands? Can they just handle a bigger bottle?) and have a great run.
I am only sad that I am living in almost-spring in London (weather: deceptive) and not frolicking in Aussie sun.
