My various thoughts/rants depending on the mood I was in when I wrote them!

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 11

Working as a stand up comedian for over 15 years, I have studiously avoided having any political jokes in my set. I much prefer to talk about myself. ‘How is that possible?’ you may ask, unless you’ve met me, and then you’re probably not. After all, one of the main reasons I love stand up […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 10

This Week’s Highlight Was Hosting the Inaugural MY Comedy Chats While Sitting by Bins in a Neighbour’s Front Garden ‘Borrowing’ Their Internet. Welcome to My Life! Do you every feel that some times fate has it in for you? This week, about an hour and a half before the launch of the inaugural of […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 9

Health Kicks with a Twist, Comedy Online & Short Stories with a Darker Theme In surprise news, I produced a video that people actually watched. Believe me, no one could have been more taken aback by this turn of events than me. It turns out translating bollocks from Boris could possibly be a new career […]

Outlander – Never My Love

An Eviscerating Depiction of Misogyny in an Episode That Deals With a Difficult Storyline with Sensitivity and Tact. CONTAINS SPOILERS. Knowing what was going to happen to Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in this week’s episode, needless to say I wasn’t looking forward to watching the season finale. Unsurprisingly, it was an uncomfortable watch, but the difficult […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 8

Uri Geller-Style Accident while Exercising, Bailey’s & a Lot Less Drama (thank goodness) Fortunately, this week proved less eventful than last week. Mind you, it turns out that if you are able to promote your blog by mentioning you went to A&E with a suspected heart attack, you do end up with a lot more […]

Outlander – Journeycake

Attacks, Secrets Revealed, Parting of the Ways, Precarious Sex & Jamie on the Warpath. CONTAINS SPOILERS. The start to this week’s episode is hardly auspicious even by Outlander’s standards when Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan), Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) come across a burnt out cabin: its inhabitants murdered before the cabin […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 7

Since my last blog, I have had to go to hospital twice, firstly to A&E, following advice from my GP who feared I’d had a mini heart attack, brought on by exercise (I knew exercising was a bad idea). Then to cap my week while I was happily minding my own business queuing up outside […]

Outlander – Mercy Shall Follow Me

Bonnet is Back, Weird Story Twists and Characters Being Saved in the Nick of Time. CONTAINS SPOILERS. Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speelers) is back and that can only mean more trouble for the Frazer/MacKenzie clan. We first see him in a brothel (of course we do) where mention is made of his involvement in human trafficking. […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 6

Long Phone Calls, Friendship, Podcasts, Disingenuous Tory Ministers & Daily Briefing Bingo My main take away from lockdown this week is that phone calls nowadays are of much longer duration than they ever used to be. And this is coming from someone who is an expert in ending phone calls as soon as I have […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 5

Radio Shows, Eclectic Music Tastes & What to Do Next? Besides spending over 7 hours a day on my phone and eating my body weight in chocolate, I managed to fit in enough time to chat to Judi Love on her Sunday morning show on BBC Radio London and Emma-Jane Taylor otherwise known as The […]
