Amusing anecdotes & random ramblings
Embarassment at work… (sponsored post)
So far, my most embarassing desk-work moments have involved:
- merrily miming along to a superlative Pet Shop Boys track called I’m In Love With A Married Man.
- shrieking like a girl when I played a video that unexpectedly turned into one of those scary jumpy videos.
But fortunately, I’ve not yet been caught looking at things I shouldn’t have, quite like this:

Working for the BBC….

means a few surprises from time to time. Like telling people that it’s not a place where they shower you with money while you hang out backstage with Matt Smith or even Huw Edwards, for instance. Although there are a few fantastic non-financial bonuses, of course – like working on election night. Really must blog
Can psychics see things coming?

So psychic Derek Acorah’s had to cancel a few concerts at short notice. The pun writes itself. Which hasn’t stopped me in the past. When I was flat-hunting in Cardiff, I saw an ad with a flat to rent above a psychic’s shop. So I called the number, and ended up speaking to the psychic’s
Everybody loves a lesbian…

At least according to BBC Three’s new comedy puppet show… Then again, this shouldn’t come as a complete surprise to me. When I was living in Cardiff and hanging out with Miss H (naturally, a lesbian), I’d end up chatting to an intelligent, attractive, funny and uninhibited woman, only to find out from Miss H

Sure, it looks nice, but once you get into it, it’ll drive you insane with bright lights and a pounding headache afterwards. (inspired by Swiss Toni)
The Internet. It's full of chimpanzees.

It’s amazing what you can cut together with rushes of interviews… (The BBC documentary that was actually made partly from these rushes is The Virtual Revolution, presented by the divine Dr. Aleks Krotoski, Saturdays at 8.30pm on BBC Two) Incidentally, it’s nice to know that I have finally achieved my ambition to have my name
"How did I get into this mess?"

Every so often, there comes a point when you look around, and you wonder how you got into a certain situation. For instance, like driving a Ferrari on the wrong side of the road and into traffic islands across the city of Houston, at 3am on a Saturday night, a bit the worse for wear
The difference between making a short film in 1995 and 2010
about 7 months ago - No comments
I was recently given the opportunity to produce a short film for work about a new website, coming soon for internal workers. Since I hadn’t really made a short film since my student efforts with Stephen Fry in 1995 – when we were outputting to VHS! – I thought it’d be a great chance to

Eh… embarrassment at work is a constant of my job, sadly. In terms of singing, shrieking “Ironic” by Alanis Morrissette on a shitty mike a few weeks ago has got to be one of the worst moments, or would have been if it had bothered me, which it didn’t. Always game for a laugh I guess. Oh, I have blogrolled you – hope that a/you don’t mind and b/it wasn’t too painful.
