This began as a tale of two gay men, a cat and an octogenarian. It's not a sitcom but I'm not entirely sure it's real life. As a couple we realised we had a choice: either write about life with the grumpy old dwarf and try to see the funny side or bump him off and put him in the skip outside next door. Since that time we have moved on ... 7 years later I came back to update things! So now there are two men, two dogs and a bungalow in Barrybados.

What would Jesus drink?


jesus drink´s, originally uploaded by sir smoke a lot.

Picture the scene: You’re at this wedding reception in the Cana Golf and Leisure Resort, where a group of women in the corner are being right rowdy, kicking their legs up and laughing raucously. The woman in powder blue puts out her fag, downs her drink and wipes her hand across her mouth, smacking her lips loudly. Her friend begins to refill it unsteadily, spilling and sloshing the liquid on to the tablecloth.
“Mother!” says a young man sits nearby with an expression that could only be called Po-faced.
The other women all throw evils at him. “Jesus! Oh lighten up, why don’t you?”
“What are you drinking?” he asks with a reproachful look.
Nervously, his mum picks up her newly-refilled glass and says “Water!”
He grabs the glass and sniffs – “It’s wine!” he declares as music drowns out his voice.
The women hop up onto their feet, laughing and dancing as Agadoo pumps out of the speakers… “It’s a miracle” they cry “a miracle!”
