Elbow announce novel support act (Rousse)
Elbow invited me to be the support act on their next tour. Rather than perform on stage with my face to the audience, however, I would use Elbow’s new animation technology. Throughout the tour, I sang and danced behind a … Continue reading
Hugh Grant purchases train ticket in public (Rousse)
There was Hugh Grant at the station ticket booth chatting with railway staff on the same day that I was trying to make arrangements for a trip to London with DTJ and KJ. I knew that Hugh Grant had met … Continue reading
An abandoned banana baby (Rousse)
The Pitlochry guest house was not to my tastes at all. The proprietor behaved as if she was everyone’s best friend, but I could see through her act. All that interested her was the fastest means of extracting as much … Continue reading

Tom Binns, Kev F Sutherland, a trip on the Titanic, and a disputed thesis (Rousse)
Tom Binns was in the pub enjoying a lunchtime drink with my colleague KC. I interrupted their conversation to invite Tom Binns to lunch with me during the Edinburgh Fringe. She (for Tom Binns is really a woman) was reluctant … Continue reading

Husband is master of disguise (Rousse)
I was finding it hard work entertaining our dinner guests when TPR kept disappearing from the table for long periods of time. He would have enjoyed the company of my school friend MG, if only they had been there simultaneously. … Continue reading

War Horse is “rubbish” (Rousse)
The first act of War Horse was tedious beyond belief. Why had we forked out fifty quid each to watch such a load of rubbish?
Sarah Millican breeds the Beatles with Beethoven (Rousse)
I laughed like a drain at Sarah Millican’s joke. The concept of a musical act called the “Beatlehovens” was pure genius.

PhD student pantomime is a joke (Rousse)
I despaired at the early rehearsals of the PhD pantomime. The acting was truly terrible, and now the students hoped that I would save the day by playing the role of the lead villain. My contribution was pathetic. Only my … Continue reading
Daring Danish rescue attempt ends with death (Rousse)
I’d only met C in real life once before. Since our brief encounter earlier in the year all our recent contact had been online, where C’s alias was A. He’d agreed to pass on some photography hints to TPR so … Continue reading

Dancing bear imposter (Rousse)
The famous dancing bear lived in a plush apartment on the eight floor of a brand new tower block, above a branch of Boots the Chemist. I knew this because he belonged to my friends J and GC. I almost … Continue reading
