Dr Arthur De Sabre

Fucking sound mate, and relatively cheap, get over if yer get the chance, and book it yerself, fuck the travel agents.

Yeah, that was funny as fuck that, he enjoys telling the story as well. I’ve been to 2 shows where he was fucking absolutely top of his game. One in Liverpool at the rawhide I think in maybe 2003. And one in Sydney at the Enmore, in maybe 2011 and he absolutely shattered the place.

Get plenty of decent bands go over there when they tour the east coast, tends to be either first or last leg. Comedians tend to slag it a bit saying, they did the warm up and got rid of the shite in Perth. Perth city centre is fucking tiny mate. It’s a big suburban motherfucker. It’s like Speke for miles and fucking miles in every direction - not as rough as speke can be but that kind of suburban sprawl. nice for a visit, but I couldn’t live there. me missus has worked there a fair bit, I was staying in the hotel on one of the trips in east Perth, so I said ah I’ll go for a walk - walked maybe 4 mile up the road and I was in West Perth San Sebastián is superb, stayed there for a few days a few years back when travelling through Bilbao and down to Barcelona. this is the place we stayed at in Sam Sebastian think this Might be the cathedral the Ikurrina - brought one of these home. sociedad stadium, weather can be shite up there. For some reason the site has now bollocksed the images by 90 degrees. Havana and all of Cuba is pretty much awesome. Each of the cities I’ve been to over there has something different about it. we drove from one end to the other a couple of years back. Driving over there is awesome, plenty of games of chicken on ghe motorway as you try and overtake a horse and cart and a buss, with a tractor oncoming. if you get the chance to go, try and stay in a casa particular - basically staying in someone’s spare room, but they look after you well. we booked Thomas Cook one way flight to Holguin, picked up a car, drove to Santiago de Cuba, stayed a few nights, then drove to Cienfuegos for a few nights - place is boss, old French capital (I think), then headed to Havana for a few days - it’s proper expensive in the old town there now for ale, but we got invited to a private dance party which is as cool - bit strange getting there as someone just approached us in the street. it was pretty much in someone’s gaffe and some famous duckers have been there to see the Local dancers. was sound for a Bevy and a perv, clientele a bit like manumission. the architecture and history of the country are everywhere and it’s just awesome (in its proper sense) place to visit and see what can happen when a place is hugely prosperous, and the. Locked out of a system via Internal politics and external trade restrictions and embargos. santiago de Cuba: partying down at the beach, some terrible fucking lager. the casa particular Cienfuegos: Breakfast view from casa particular One of the vast old hotels being restored one that had been done my mate ‘Nelson’ the waterfront at night La Havana: Think this was the outside of our casa particular, it’s deffo the view from it we got caught in a downpour think this is the National Theatre swanky hotel: the little dance club previously frequented by Beyoncé or some such shite Indeed it is, massive envy of yer Spanish life man. I’d love to give it at least a year, EU exit May spike that, but we’ll see.

When his last tour over here came out, I had a pop at him on Twitter for charging for VIP Meet and greet. Got a bit of shit off the usual type of wankers. He was sound when he used to hang around after a gig at say the Tivoli - which is a decent sized venue, for photos and a blether. The nobs buying VIPs have probably been following him For 5 minutes.

Good mate of mine is high up in the mob that run the O2 and a shitload of sport venues around the world. he said that the only wedge they made came from the ticket handling fee. Big names basically take a cut of the bar, the ticket fee, and all merchandising profit. still a good few quid like, they’re not skint by any means, but I always tho they’d be in on the he ticket fee. But in essence it’s like the cinema, doesn’t get any of the profits from the film, but with the artists being present they also lose out on bar takings.

It appears one of the AdiFam must have had a bit of a meltdown over a “drop” last night. like a fucking estate agent crying he can’t afford to buy a place.

He’s the dull bastard, looks like a walking cardigan? Lacks the biting wit or intellect of Jeremy Hardy to pull that off. the problem with some modern comedians is they think it’s about the delivery, not the content, and as some of the audience can also be a bit fucking thick, then you end up in a place where people who aren’t really comedy fans going ah ye’ll like this fella he’s like x he cuts into the audience and swears and digs people out - the problem with this is if the actual content of the comedy only amounts to this, then they will be utter 1D bollocks. then TV execs see the crowd and give them a show. Adam Rowe from Liverpool has done some decent stuff, think he will be better in a few years once he finds his voice properly. he got pissed off when I called him Jeremy Beadle on Twitter last year.

No wonder the stones keep touring. see they put Jayz, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift as suggestions, if yer going to see shit like that every couple of weeks, yer gonna need some income. we’ve been trying to catch as many support bands as we can and found some decent local bands to follow.

Aye, fair enough, I intend to get to a lot more gigs when shit lifts. It’s been a good few years since I’ve had the energy for it. but I’ve bought shitloads of new music over lockdown, time to get out and start hearing it live again. need to find a good sun/soundsystem yard in Melbourne. cut out the TV a shitload and spend more time knocking my own stuff up now, which is a lot better for the soul.

Fuck me clogs, you are a tight bastard! I’ve paid a tenner for jefferies gigs, Stanhope was about 40 dollars, Kitson normally charges about 25$ over here. did you hear Kitson on Resonance FM last month?

Seen him over here in Melbourne, at the comedy festival - my missus is less in love with some of the caustic stuff, but then I was playing her heavy Bill Hicks stuff 20 odd years ago when we met, and we’ve seen Jim Jeffries maybe 10 times. Anyway, Doug played at a little local old school cinema, was superbly over the top, ripped fuck out of the dickheads who had been on the piss for 4 hours and we’re passing out during the show, he was extremely funny but as with Jim Jefferies there are a good few who miss the nuance in the material. Jime Jeffries has gone right off the book, happens when yer hanging around with RZA to watch footy matches I suppose. We first saw him in Liverpool at the comedy club, not far off 20 years ago, followed him since. again loads of meat heads in the audience most of the time missing the fact he is taking the piss out of them.

He straddles a fine line. seen him live, brilliant, always sound on Twitter as well.

Considering they shut down an artery supplying blood for your leg to do it, I suspect you would want it to be a pretty fucking snappy operation. it’s well known we are somewhat poorly designed for the modern world. If someone is going to have 4 kidneys you don’t want them all packed in the back, like back tits, do yer?

They put it in your abdomen as it’s nearer the arteries and other plumbing they are going to use. they leave the old ones in (as long as they don’t present a danger - cancer, polycystic etc) as it’s a pain in the arse to get them out and it would increase the recovery time. part of the reason if someone is donating like my auld fella, or KMD7’s Missus, or Cain - then the operation and recovery is generally a lot worse for the donor than the recipient.

Jesus, do they come with a dear jane letter?

Evil bastard! Take it they yanked it to via cystoscopy? I'm booking 12 month biopsy in next couple of months, i spoke to renal nurse and was like they don't have to go on through my knob again do they, she said nah it's up in yer abdomen they just go through the skin there. Good to see yers both looking well up and about man, struck lucky twice there mate.

that's yesterday's chippy wrapper man, he's moved along a bit.

Donny Wideass - jesus fuck, how did we get here

What?

With material like ‘this ye’ll be on the BBC in no time.

By all accounts there is a string of well known stories from the Industry. why no one blew him up before is strange.

When you say a bit paedoish are you saying it turns you on or something? It’s a fucking kids film.

His story on adoption is a fucking tearer man. I can only admire what he has achieved. me and the missus were looking into adoption for a while and his story choked me every time.

You’re in the best place under such conditions
