Jimmy Carr - Offender

Jimmy Carr was spot on! Very enjoyable indeed.

There are two things I like about his stand-up style and material.
Firstly - like Ricky Gervais - he makes you laugh instinctively and then question whether or not you should be laughing.. I don't like to get too caught up in political correctness in comedy and Jimmy Carr makes very few concessions in this regard. Cleverly, he often makes tacit references towards contentious areas of 'comedy' but rarely does it to offend - he more appeals to your darker humour and rouses an otherwise socially-dormant humour which so many of us have.

Secondly, I like his word-play comedy. I wish I had a better memory that I could quote a few examples here but I'm sure those of you familiar with his work will know what I mean.

Anyway - I thoroughly recommend it.

'Tis the season..

It's probably about time I made an entry on here. I've been quite busy of late doing other things, as well as my Christmas shopping.
Thankfully, it's almost all done now - my plan of motivation was "one for someone else - one for me". In fact, though, I'm quite plased with a lot of my gifts. I seem to have come up with pretty good ideas for those people who are traditionally impossible to buy for! Let's hope they share my enthusiasm when they open them!

A busy but exciting week this week. Man Utd tonight, my weekly Godchildren/friends visit tomorrow, dinner out on Weds, Jimmy Carr Friday.

Oh, and I love my new car more by the minute! Gadgetry aplenty! Joy.
