It was a great trip for so many reasons, but largely because it was a massive giggle. He makes me laugh like a drain.

One thing I’d forgotten was how much fun he was while he was sleeping…

The second night in China:

Sleeping on my side I am woken suddenly by himself firmly shaking my shoulder. As I came around I heard him saying something. He was telling me off. I assumed I’d been snoring again; he hates my snoring. But no, it went like this…

Him: I can’t believe you were smacking me off!

Me: Uh? What?

Him: I can’t believe you would do that. Giving me drugs! Smacking me off!

Me: Do you mean “smacking up”?

Him: Eh, no! You drugged me & MADE me go to work. You smacked me off! Smacked me off & made me go to work!

Me: Erm, ok. Sorry about that

Him: Hugged me & carried on sleeping

Later in the holiday

Again, I’m happily sleeping away when…

Him: I can’t believe you did that!

Me: Wha?

Him: And right in the middle of our lovely friendship too

Me: Are you asleep?

Him: And NOW! Now, it’s just ME and Nick McGivenivenivney!

Me: (laughing) Yup. Still asleep.

And so, I’m home now & getting used to having the bed all to myself. Missing the midnight comedy shows though.

Mr funny Man

had turned into theirs…

Auntie, “It wasn’t so much that he looked like his dad; more that they shared the, um, wotsits…”

Cousin, “Mannersisms?”

Auntie, “Yeah, those. It was the same with my brothers. The way they’d get out of the armchair was just how my
Dad used to.”

Cousin, “It’s an innate thing…”

Auntie, “It is! It’s an ape thing!”

Me, “Did you just say it was an ‘ape thing’?”

Auntie, “Yeah. It is an ape thing. It goes right back…”

*cue much laughter*

Someone, “More wine anyone?”

It’s good to know your limitations.

Along with rap star, I always knew that several things were out of my reach: nurse for only having very limited amounts of sympathy; nanny because I don’t like children really, or rather I don’t like the children I have no personal connection with (not that kind of personal connection!); artist, for being generally a bit cack-handed and lacking in artistic thought and also, perhaps somewhat linked to the rap star thing was being a human beat box.

It’s good to know your limits.

Maybe someone should’ve told this guy:


Worst Beatboxer Ever – Watch more Funny Videos

Or not; because he just made me laugh more than anything else in recent days (except for Stephen coining the term “riding the pigeon”). Yeah, yeah, I know, in joke alert.

Have to say thanks to the guys at Big Mental Disease for finding this gem too. Go and visit their site. Funny it is!

I nearly shat! http://curlydena.com/index.php/2010/02/01/laugh-i-nearly-shat/ http://curlydena.com/index.php/2010/02/01/laugh-i-nearly-shat/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:27:45 +0000 curlydena http://curlydena.com/?p=791 It’s a phrase I use a lot. Partly because I’m a funny fucker and partly because I like to rip off phrases from comedians who are infinitely funnier than me… of which there are MANY. Except Michael McIntyre, I’m definitely funnier than him. And Catherine Tate… but that’s mainly because she’s GOT NO SOUL!

This phrase in particular comes directly (well not directly per se as I paraphrase, but I digress) from the comic genii that were Dudley Moore and Peter Cook, as Derek & Clive.

This song, is brilliant. But I will warn you, it contains a few of those er, sweary words… but the song title should probably have made you aware of that.

Laugh? I… you know the rest.

And don’t even get me started on this sketch.

The perfect combination of lovely design, typography, stock and fabulous put-downs. I’m genuinely tempted to buy these first two…

All of them are from the rather delightful Gramkin Paper Studio who do a lovely range of personalised stationery & gifts, which you can buy from their Etsy store.

Now, if only I had the courage to hand these out to one or two folk…
