When I was a kid I lost my beloved tamagotchi. I was heartbroken. A decade later I found out my parents had thrown it in a lake because it was annoying. Wanting to live vicariously, I recently got one for my son. Lasted about 20 min before I took batteries out the little fucker

Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.
