Bill Bailey commented on my laugh
This QOTW is turning into loads of lists, or people ranting aimlessly with no semblance of plot. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, b3tans, I shall endeavour to be rather more entertaining and tell you about the time I went to see Bill Bailey live.

Those of you that know me (so, none of you then!) will already know that I live in the rather fantastic city of Brighton, and that I'm a huge Bill Bailey fan. Therefore when I found out that he would be coming to Brighton on his Tinselworm tour, I was more ecstatic than Gary Glitter discovering his prison window had a view of a playground. I bought tickets immediately, and waited for what seemed like endless months with childlike glee. At last the night arrived, and I hurried off to the Brighton Centre with my friends, thrilled that I was finally going to see one of my favourite comedians.

At this point I will take a brief break as I ought to tell those of you who don't know me (again, most of you!) about my laugh. Normally, if I'm concentrating, it sounds fairly normal and not like a spastic mouse on coke at all. However, if you really get me giggling (or I'm drunk!) I start to squeak. And I mean majorly squeak. I wasn't kidding about that spastic mouse.

So Bill is in full swing, and everyone is having a whale of a time. I'm almost at the front and I can see that he's shorter and rounder than I imagined him to be. I'm laughing away with everyone else. And I'm all sure you can imagine, the inevitable happened. I started squeaking like a chipmunk in a vice. To be honest, I can't exactly remember the joke that started off, but one thing I do remember quite clearly. Bill looked up from his guitar, mildly perplexed, and peered at the audience. "My, it sounds like a chinchilla trapped under something heavy!" He then continued without missing a beat.

So there we go, Bill Bailey called me a chinchilla and I still love the guy :D

Apologies to anyone on here who was also there, who I may have accidentally caused permanent hearing damage to!

I don't.
I was trying to write a more interesting, vaguely on topic QOTW answer than just a list.
