Aren't "We" Great?
I decided to pop along to the Empire's comedy night last night and, as I'd been told, it was really quite funny. There were 3 blokes on including the host-type bloke and all three were pretty much hilarious. Great stuff.
That said, I need to vent. There were 2 mexicans and an Australian on. I could grin and bare my way through questions like "Who's from the North but not from Belfast?" and "Who's not from Ireland at all?" (I know that shouldn't bother me but I'm not comfortable with it still).
What really pissed me off was this Australian bloke who, despite being very funny about it, droned on and on about George Bush and the Iraq war. I did ponder the irony of a crowd of drunken morons hollaring like a Jerry Springer audience, laughing at George W Bush for being a moron, but it seems like comedians like an easy target. That wasn't what annoyed me though. The guy (Steve Hughes? Something Hughes anyway) declared "I love you guys, you don't get involved in anything."
"Really?" I thought, "Try telling that to Tim Collins."
I wouldn't let it ruin a good night, I know if I let little things like that wind me up completely, life wouldn't be much fun; I just thought I needed to vent. Now I'm happy again.
