Leftwing Idiot’s had his bathroom re-done, and as a result it’s emptier and more echoey than it was before.

Every time I use it now I tic:

“Help, I’m stuck down a well.”

I’m Stuck Down A Well!

Most of my tics sound identical each time I say them but my, “Biscuit” tic is proving an exception, with two very different pronunciations.

Biscuit Vs Bis-cuit

The first is the whole word spoken quickly, with the emphasis on the first syllable.…

Newsnight anchorman Jeremy Paxman followed in the footsteps of Radio Four presenter Jim Naughtie tonight. I wrote about Naughtie’s slip of the tongue a while back, when instead of saying ‘Hunt’ he said ‘cunt’. Tonight, live on BBC 2, Paxman said ‘Cunts’ instead of ‘Cuts’.…

I’ve just watched a great new video from Guy Francis, a singer with Tourettes. He did a duet with Becky, a woman who also tics, singing The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s ‘Fairy Tale of New York.’ It’s a funny and inspiring video – their voices are amazing and the song is peppered with tics.…

My friend Keir has made a brilliant tic-inspired video with his mate Chris. They chose a selection of my tics and made a short clip for each. The result is very funny and in parts strangely beautiful.

When I was on the train to Manchester last Saturday several people tweeted about being in a carriage with me.…

A while ago I wrote about going to Acton to do some recording with Alex Newman. We had a conversation that was led by my tics. This resulted in some strange and unpredictable stories. Leftwing Idiot has edited this audio and today I uploaded it to SoundCloud.…

About a month ago I mentioned that I’d started Christmas shopping and was worried about letting slip what I’d got for people.

With just a month to go I’d been doing really well. But then at lunchtime Leftwing Idiot asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and before I had a chance to answer I ticced, “I’ve bought you Big Foot.”…

We’re on the brink of disaster. My team have been closely monitoring imagination levels and they’re dropping at an alarming rate. When that happens, we’re all at risk from the deadly dull-wave, which can sweep over the whole world at any moment.…

I filmed an emergency broadcast this afternoon warning people about an impending dull-wave of greyness that’s about to sweep the world. The aim of the video is to get new superheroes (5-16 years old) to join me in the fight against this threat.…

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been singing my, “I’m a baby” song. The full lyrics are:

“I’m a baby,
You’re a baby,
Poke a baby,
Bank a baby.”

This has been amusing many of my friends, particularly Leftwing Idiot who sings along.…
