I have been feeling so bored with life lately,
just everything is so bore-ity bore bore boring.
I was reading Derren Brown’s blog (testament
to my theory that I am bored – he’s a right weirdo)! He quotes a
survey that says that British people spend two whole years of their life
being bored, the most boring things on people’s list were things such as:
standing in queues, buying and deciding what food to eat each day, people’s
social and personal relationships, jobs etc. etc. -basically everything
is boring! The main reason everyone gave for being bored was that
there were many things that they wanted to do (theme parks, holidays, trips,
events) but they couldn’t afford it (and they say money can’t buy you happiness).
I thought ‘sod it’ this morning and booked
tickets to see Russell Brand next week at Hackney Empire (say hi if you
will be there too, we are in Dress Circle Row E). Since a night out is an
extremely rare occurrence for Matt and I, I figured we deserved it. Woo
I am super di duper excited! I hadn’t planned on it due to the price
but I can’t take any more boredom!
Russell Brand is my favourite comedian. My favourite time of my life was when Black Books was on the TV and Russell,
Matt Morgan, G and Noely Noely were doing their weekend radio show on BBC2,
at least I had some laughs guaranteed in my life. Years ago (before
I was born) there were many hysterical British comedies on TV and Radio
to choose from or at least some decent drama but these days you either
have the choice of irritating chavs on talent competitions, irritating
chavs on reality series or sport that we never seem to be any good at….riveting.
I am sure there are plenty of people who
detest old Russ but my sense of humour isn’t exactly controlled by me,
it is what it is, I can listen to his radio show podcasts from 2006-2008
having listened to them hundreds of times before and still cry with laughter
(I do get a few odd looks at the gym but it’s worth it).
Personal favourite radio show quotes/items:
Setting – Russell asking Noel Gallagher if
he could use Oasis’ tune when he walks on at the beginning of the VMA’s
Russell: Can I walk on to Rock ‘n’ Roll Star
by your band Oasis?
Noel: Yes, of course. Which means there’ll
be a bloke on stage they don’t recognise coming out to a tune they’ve never
heard.
September 27th 2008 – Russell rang both Katy
Perry and Sarah Silverman and tried to chat them both up, Silverman wasn’t
that interested but even at that time while Katy was with previous BF Travis
from Gym Class Heroes she says she finds him sexy and has him on speed
dial. (cough cough I met her when she threw a bottle at me a year later
honest)!
Pin Pin!
