Following on from the phenomenal success of my ticced zodiac last month, I thought I’d turn my Tour-voyant hand to palm reading. Although I wasn’t able to attract a big crowd eager to have their fortunes told, I did convince Leftwing Idiot, King Russell and Mr Otter it was a good idea.…
On Thursday night I had a ‘ticcing fit’ just after 8:30pm, and I didn’t have another for the rest of the evening.
I woke up yesterday morning feeling unusually refreshed and Bunny, who’d done my night-time support, greeted me warmly saying, ‘Good sleeping!’…
Is it too early to start talking about Christmas? As ever, the advertising people want us to think about it earlier and earlier. I saw my first Christmas advert back in October
Tourettes means I don’t really have a choice – I’ve been talking about the festive season at inappropriate times for years.…
Poppy, Leftwing Idiot and I went to the Barbican Centre this evening to see a temporary interactive installation that our friend Tommy Mitchell’s been involved in creating. The installation, called Hidden Fields, is there for this weekend only.
Hidden Fields uses a fusion of 3D imaging with cutting-edge science to create an installation that’s visually stunning and instantly playful.…
I’m writing this in a slightly unusual location – sitting on a train. Leftwing Idiot and I have spent the day hanging out with friends in Nottingham. Now, as we speed back to London through the dark countryside, it seems like a good time to reflect on our day.…
Back in July I spent several days with a charming Australian film crew for a piece they were doing about Tourettes. Doing things for TV can be quite daunting, but the Channel 7 team were friendly, relaxed and happy to share the funny side of my tics.…
The dust is starting to settle after last night’s amazing book launch. I’ve been exhausted all day and frustratingly I’m feeling under the weather again!
We had over 100 guests, some from as far away as Scotland, to celebrate the launch with me, and to eat lots of biscuits – but even so, we’ve got more left than I could possibly eat in my lifetime.…
Anyone who’s spent any time with Poppy when she’s reading a newspaper knows how much she enjoys reading out horoscopes to anyone who’ll listen. Yesterday was Leftwing Idiot’s turn and he was complaining about the quality of the prediction for him.…
A few weeks ago I got a tweet from Casey B saying:
‘Love the blog, and the whole TH package. It is a shame there is no audio of the lamppost tics. 🙂 Take care.’
@caseybcyberloss 16th September 2012
So the other evening, after successfully catching my most recent spontaneous musical outburst, Leftwing Idiot kept the recorder on so we could share this touching, if slightly one sided, conversation between myself and the lamp-post outside my window as I drifted off to sleep.…
When Leftwing Idiot and I set out to create a website that celebrates the humour and creativity of Tourettes I felt certain of a few things: we’d do a good job together, it would be interesting and we’d have loads of help from our friends, families and supporters.…
