I had quite a large dinner the other night

My daughter wants for nothing. I pay about ten times the minimum requirement for her, plus transfers to two trusts in her name and a saving scheme for her private education.
Could you afford that?

Tell you what guys I am so, so gutted.
There I was, all set and ready for the Great North run, fit, slim, lithe and ready to run, then disaster struck!
I've only bloody got potty training that day haven't I?!
What are the chances. No one is more gutted than I am, believe me.

after ordering them by mistake in a Japanese McDonalds and being too embarrassed to leave them.

One of my mates eat 10 burger king burgers when they had an offer of them for a quid each.
He also claims to have 'done' a whole Makro box of Space Raiders in a day. Knowing him, I imagine him wearing the empty wrappers like a patchwork quilt.
I also once witnessed him neck a pint of wine in about four seconds.
That was the same night he woke up on the student union shitter to find the bar had closed.

It's just open mic circuit, still
but it should be fun/knackering. Got 2 booked so far. Apparently fridays and saturdays tend to be walk ons, but I don't want to go and not get on, so I'm going to pester more people.
I've not recorded anything yet, some places ask for it before booking, but I fear having to see my own face
