I always pronounced it Joel but the yanks seem to pronounce it Joel.

I've actually never been to a stand up show but I'd assume if the crowd is into it, it improves things?

It kind of helps but not at the same level of a crowd being into a band makes the show better. I saw Chapelle back in 2016 and he was great even though I never found his TV show that funny. Can't attend the show here but it was only announced a few weeks ago and sold out straight away so my guess is the crowd will be well up for it.

The only live comedian I have ever walked out on was Chris Tukcer a few years ago he was awful .

Tonight's one is a one-off in the middle of his tour with Chris Rock. I'm kind of glad Rock won't be there TBH, I find him poor in general. No word on a support act, might be someone local doing a half hour, if there is one at all.

I saw Chris Rock a few years ago as well at a separate show was ok but probably wouldn't go to see him again. Just be glad Joe Rogan didn't come with Dave. He is the only comedian I have seen who would come close to rivaling Chris Tucker for how bad the performance was. I still to this day can't understand how Joe has made a career out of comedy.

Is that not where the Machine Head gig is? Double headliner, maybe they're banking on filling it between them.

Haha, reading a bit stoned here my brain pictured this as a Machine Head/Dave Chapelle double headliner, and then that made me remember Flynn's beat poetry; now, there's a guy who'll get a laugh out of you! 

He's either filming himself looking out the window or nothing for me

How long before Competitive Mourning becomes the next sport invented by the Brits, that the rest of the world ends up beating them at?

The swallows have migrated (working title for the second MDB album). I find this very sad.

After getting rear-ended (quick, call the priest!) on Friday my car was picked up this afternoon to be assessed. I had to walk over to the creche to collect the little dude and realised a good hour long walk in the evening is just what I need as I'm out of shape and not getting enough exercise in work right now due to being on light duties with a minor injury. Silver linings!

They are riding the situation in fairness.

This article has to be satire. It reads like something from a Chris Morris/"The Day Today" script.

Plenty of could should and might in here but it's fun to speculate

The budget. From what I gather the cost of living increase will far outstrip anything we think we are being given. Me being me, I blame the current load of shit on government policy in the first place. That's just me though, maybe some of you will disagree.

Did it make anyone happy?
