A brush with greatness
My partner is a sign language interpreter. She’s up at WOMAD in Reading today intepreting some of the workshops and shows for Deaf people.
She’s just phoned to say she watched the mighty, mighty Mark Thomas‘ act in the comedy tent and had a chat with him afterwards. He’s a very, very nice person apparently and his act was fantastic. ‘Did you get a photo?’ ‘No.’
The signed copy of his new book and the promise to visit Chicken Yoghurt that she procured from him are scant recompense.

Just think, Mark Thomas might read your site. You could go a set of advert gifs inscribed “Mark Thomas reads Chicken Yoghurt - advertise here” and really piss everyone off…
Including Mark Thomas I would have thought. I think he probably subscribes to the Bill Hicks philosophy on advertising. And quite right too.
Perhaps you’re the aloe vera gel of the blogosphere?
Aw, shit. Never read about your heroes. This is like Steve McQueen and the coffee enemas all over again.
Bwah hah!
Besides, Thomas has never been shy of advertising products he endorses. OK, that seems to be mostly himself, but still.
Vote for the Mark Thomas Friday Nights Channel 4 Party! (I would if I’d the opportunity anyway)
He is a top bloke, very down to earth and I do like the fact he works aka tours, monday to thursday only! Time for family etc.
Try reading Greg Palasts new book (armed madhouse - amazon link not included, http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=411097&in_page_id=2)
very scary stuff
