Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

Walking to my OU class tonight with my walkman on, I had to keep stopping and staring intently in to shop windows because I was afraid everyone would think I was odd. Although thinking about it, staring intently in to the window of a bookies - and every third shop on Leith Walk is a bookies - or gazing in to an empty branch of the Abbey National probably isn't taken as particularly rational behaviour.

The reason for my problem was that I was listening to That Mitchell And Webb Sound on Radio 4, and it's downright one of the best things that's been on that station for blinking ages. Radio comedy very rarely makes me laugh - Radio 4 comedy particularly usually only raises a wry smile and sideways tilt of the head - but TMAWS had me bursting out rather loudly than I was expecting. It's really really really great.

So I'm doing you a favour. Sit back and listen to this for half an hour. It really is that good.
