Words Of Wisdom From My Comedy Idol Billy Connolly


Was tweeting about this last night and thought it would make a good post as it explains how I go about making my videos and podcasts-

Oh Billy Connolly ❤️ An idol of mine. This is exactly how I do what I do. Not for a second claiming to be even 1% as clever or funny as Billy but all my videos & my podcasts are like this. Press record & see what happens. Nothing is ever planned. And like he said it is wildly exciting! I’m of average intelligence. Not particularly clever but one thing I do have is a relentlessly fast brain that NEVER stops thinking, at a million miles an hour. From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep I’m thinking a million things at once. Possibly ADHD related. Can cause it’s own problems. It can be as exhausting as it sounds and I literally have no idea how to switch off. But I think the good outweighs the bad.

So yeah I just turn the camera on, the voice recorder, or fire up the laptop to write an article and it all just flows, normally first take/draft. One of the very few good qualities I have. Being the raging skip fire I am in other areas. ๐Ÿ˜‚ A downside to having a brain like that is that I’m the most scatty disorganised man in the universe. Can write a 1,000 word article for a magazine in 20 minutes but paying bills, organising my finances or remembering to MOT the car are totally beyond me ๐Ÿ˜‚ Much to the annoyance of friends and family!

For all that though I am happy with being me. That’s the whole key to life in my opinion- accepting yourself. So that’s my new year message, like taking advice from a man living a shambolic life is the answer to anything-

If you’re not happy with the person you are, create a person that you are. Never feel forced into anything, do your own thing and be your own person and you’ll get on pretty well. Change because you want to not because someone else wants you to. Live your life for yourself first.

Happy New Year.

Since the blog will be low on pictures for a week or two while I wait for my phone to be replaced I thought I'd pst some of my favourites from the past year to try and maintain your interest in my little site! The first year of my new R440, Holly! We start with Hollys birthday last week, I thought I'd mark the occasion since I was in the yard with a picture of her next to her mother Doris, a '97 Streamline In the mountains of Snowdonia with a UK Mail trailer earlier this year I quite like the contrast between dark and light on this one! Listen to me sounding all arty! In a warehouse, how exciting! Early morning in the yard washing and fuelling I was on the company Christmas card last year! Outside my parents house last Christmas Parked up on the motorway in Belgium 2 days before Christmas because the police wouldn't let trucks move, arghhhhh Proper filthy! Parked up on the M25 last December! It took some getting out at 4am I can tell you, but we did it. Dirty and dark i...

Lukes Weekly Listening w/e 16th of June 

Hello chums. Second installment of my weekly listening post. I was on holiday with a friend in America last week and thankfully for £5 a day Vodafone let me use my phone as if I'm in UK, so we drove around streaming 6 Music & Radio 4. Firstly the Today Programme. In my humble opinion it is the best news programme out there. The joys of iplayer meant we could listen as we set off in morning. If I don't listen to at least an hour my day feels off kilter. Radio 4 Today Programme 21/6/17  (This is today's) Farming Toda y - Another programme I love which is on before Today is Farming Today. If you have any interest in the world around you and what we eat you'll enjoy your 15 minute daily segment  Tweet of the Day  - Who else but Radio 4 would create a little slot called Tweet or the Day and make it about bird sounds!   The Untold  - The Untold is often great, though I find Grace Dents whisper somewhat irritating Our Man in the Middle East  - Our Man in the M...
