Blank white page.
I’m pleased to announce that I am well on the way with some new writing. With a little assistance from Life Rapture’s very own Benjamin Spall I am planning on releasing a book of short stories on Kindle in the coming months. At the moment I’m calling it ‘Where Did All The Money Go’ after…

Bridger at 14,000 feet.
Today Luke Bridger (my dear friend/ bandmate/ co-writer) jumped out of a motherflipping plane. He raised over £500 for Little Havens hospice and best of all managed to deal with us trash talking him for five hours. We set out this morning before seven (me, Luke, Luke, Flopsy and Ben) and managed to cover The…

Mancrush Friday – Simon Amstell
A lot of the reason I fancy Simon Amstell is that he’s thin, Jewish and has big hair. These are the same reasons I fancy myself, what can I say, I have a type. I’ve watched him and liked him since Popworld and he’s one of the few man crushes I have who is obtainable…

Got to get down on Friday.
I feel absolutely fantastic this morning. I got up and ran two miles listening to Bombay Bicycle Club while the sun came up which is possibly the best way to begin a day. I think it helped that I had such a good time last night. It was my return to the improvised comedy workshop.…

Pointless.
Last night I went to see Pointless being recorded with my two pet Lukes. I don’t think I’ve ever watched it before but it was better than a kick in the teeth. It’s pretty much the opposite of Family Fortunes, by which I mean it isn’t hosted by a cunt. What amazed me was how…

A terrifying realisation on my way into London
This morning I ran into three friends from school and we ended up commuting together up to the big smoke. Once I was over my mild annoyance at not being able to read my book or write my blog because I was expected to chat I realised that the things we were discussing had taken…

Thoughts on a Tuesday.
Last night my beautiful girlfriend was telling me how determined I’ve become in the pursuit of my dream of becoming a writer. She reads everything I write (god bless her) and has said that I should send my new sitcom script off as soon as possible, when in reality I had only written it to…

The Great Gatsby
I figured I should get this article in before people start getting involved in the film. For those of you who think books are boring (mugs) The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel set in 1920’s New York which is currently being adapted to film; for the seventh time, by Baz Luhrmann. The book…

Maybe I’m taking this genius recluse thing too far.
I’ve got a horrible feeling I’m giving myself all kinds of phobias and turmoil by keeping up a massive pretence. I’m supposed to be a writer, someone who can only work if they are witnessing things, getting involved, having adventures and yet I insist on sitting in my room, hunched over my desk and hammering…

Don’t be SAD
Waking up this morning and seeing a lovely bit of sunshine has definitely got me off to a great start to the weekend. I got up at eight and took the dog for a walk – the first time I’ve been out of the house for two days and now I’m getting some writing done.…
