CHARLIE CONDOU - No.787

A STAND-UP DEBATE

mrtimlong: @Baddiel Seems the UK is enjoying a golden age of stand-up, and the US mostly is not. So why aren't British comics storming our shores?

Baddiel: @mrtimlong it's quite a long way.

mrtimlong: @Baddiel yes, but you're known for your lovely boat collection (or "navy")

Baddiel: @mrtimlong that institution has never really recovered from that song by your so-called "Village" People.

quantick: @Baddiel I liked your fame piece.

Charliecondou: @quantick @Baddiel so did I

quantick: @Charliecondou @Baddiel it's ok Charlie I got this. I GOT THIS!

RE CYCLING

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo thanks for your reply I just popped you on the blog

gogibbogo: @ChasCondouBlog fame at last!

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo pssst shhh don't want @Charliecondou to overhear... but if you ever need a blog let me know because he doesn't pay me enough x

gogibbogo: @ChasCondouBlog My blog would be v dull. Maybe I could talk about cycling. @Charliecondou seems to think I'm permanently attached to a bike.

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo lol - can I change topic and ask how old you are I'm guessing between 30 and 50? Am I close?

gogibbogo: @ChasCondouBlog I'm about half @Charliecondou's age.

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo half his age >>> @Charliecondou ..... you'd be 35 then....

gogibbogo: @ChasCondouBlog @Charliecondou Oh. 47. I thought he was 94. Awkward.

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo @Charliecondou ya know it's the hair transplant that keeps him looking young .... Best use for an Arabian goat evah!

Charliecondou: @gogibbogo @ChasCondouBlog oh get a room!

ChasCondouBlog: @Charliecondou @gogibbogo we are in DM mode as we tweet discussing how much my new cycling blog will cost him x #generousnotlikeyou

gogibbogo: @ChasCondouBlog Great now I'm in trouble with @Charliecondou

ChasCondouBlog: @gogibbogo No we just do what he said and get a room #simples @Charliecondou

RE TWEETING

Charliecondou: RT @stephen_hagan: You must go see @Boat_Factory @KingsHeadThtr if you love laughing (and crying) Don't worry it's not a play about Belfast…

Charliecondou: RT @MatthewRhys: 'An evening with' (urgh, I know). August 11th. Yorkshire. Last tickx going. Champers, Good Poetry and probing questions. @thorpperrow

A DRAMA WITH EVERYTHING

boydhilton: I reckon tomorrow night's Top Of The Lake is one of the best hours of TV this year. Drama-wise, it's got everything. #BBC2

Charliecondou: @boydhilton is there nudity?

boydhilton: @Charliecondou YES

Charliecondou: @boydhilton *sky plusses*

PARENT QUIZ

bindelj: Parents of small children, do you think, a) pavements belong just to you, b) you plus other parents with small children, c) to everyone?

Charliecondou: @bindelj is it A?

bindelj: @Charliecondou sure is

KiriThomas: @bindelj @Charliecondou there are rude people with children and rude people without children. Always we're always will be.

bindelj: @KiriThomas @Charliecondou agree, but nothing like the superior sense of entitlement and slight scathing from that type of middle class one

Confidential_CC: @bindelj @KiriThomas @Charliecondou OMG you use a footpath? Here in Oz we are born with parents who have cars!

BLUE TICKS

Missjmoloney: @michkeegan you got your blue tick, finally! Well done xx ❤

michkeegan: @Missjmoloney I know!! I was so excited!!! X

Charliecondou: @michkeegan well look who's finally been verified!! Glad it was sorted x

DO YOUR RESEARCH

Cath_Tyldesley: If youre going to print shite - at least attempt some research. Dear me... #ignorance

Charliecondou: @Cath_Tyldesley what's happened now?

UPFitness: @Cath_Tyldesley they researched it off twitter. How much more rigourous can a journalist be?! #Woodward&Bernstein

C.G.I. OF MERRETT

My artistic friend Mark M. Merrett of London, has been working on some new computer graphic images based on the themes of "anger" and "fear." He's been busy compiling a portfolio of new works but has generously sent me some for inclusion on this blog. They are a radical departure from work that he'd previously allowed me to post. Mark, prior to this new range of works, had been commissioned by various patrons to compile C.G.I. portraits. For those who've followed the blog for a long time, you will recall Mark has dyslexia and other learning disabilities that make it hard for him to work for long periods of time. I'm sure you will appreciate not only the creativity but also the effort that has gone into making the following:

You can contact Mark here: @MarkMMerrett

MarkMMerrett: @ChasCondouFans  hugs tommy for putting me in the blog, mwah

SirThomasWynne: @MarkMMerrett you know I try to flog you on the blog when I can .... Considered it my early birthday pressie - yes I am that cheap x

MarkMMerrett: @SirThomasWynne means a lot to me
