I've given up enjoying "Wife Swap" on Channel 4 now. It's turned into a cliche where all working class people are depicted as lazy, dirty Chavs and their middle class counter parts as control freaks. I'll let you into a secret, I almost did this series of Wife Swap! It was a very close thing and I thought it may have been a good career move. However I don't think we were wacky enough. Neither working class or middle class, not too many bad habits and anyway who would want to watch me asleep every afternoon? The gig went to a colleague of mine, her episode is going out next week and I'm looking forward to that. As well as being a very talented comic her domestic circumstances are, how shall I put it...unusual! You'll have to wait and see but she must have been a researchers dream.
Had my car serviced today, cost a fortune but it's going to have to last me a little longer yet. I love my car, she's never let me down but bits are starting to fall off. I'm also going to get it valeted because it's filthy and I'm ashamed when I see her parked up.
I've just taken a phone call from Ronnie Whelan! I'm 40 and still get giddy when footballing legends ring up and say "Roughy, it's Ronnie, how you doing?" Confession, sometimes I don't answer the phone so they have to leave a voice mail so I can play it to my mates! How sad is that?
Hair cut, sun bed, breakfast at Sainsbury's, maybe a snooze then a nice little gig in Yorkshire tonight.
FTM!
