About Me

Hello I'm Jon, pleased to meet you. How are you today? I hope you are happy and having fun. Because I believe thats what we are all supposed to be doing, all the time. Whether it's in "the house of fun" with the worlds greatest band. Or the fun of laughing at something really silly or amusing like the worlds best comedy. I'm a big collector of uk Comedy. The art form of Mirth, be it a TV show, a Stand up gig, a funny book, or amusing songs. Either way It's certainly a tonic for the soul. The more comedy you surround yourself with the more you will begin to appreciate it contains some truth. Often exagerated but there none the less, and this can help you fill in the blanks left over by science, academic studies and the opinions of London taxi drivers all of which leave out some truth in their rush to be the official voice of the world.I reccomend the band Madness for their great sense of fun, some amusing songs within their set and the Nutty sound. www.mis-...net for more info on the band, a website run by web guru Simon R and with much news on the blog and in the email written by Rob H and myself, and a world of nutty helpers. For an Amusing stand up try George Carlin or Steven Wright if you are in the USA or the late great Bill hicks, or in the uk Sean Lock or Bill Bailey. Most Recently great TV shows try 15 storeys high with Sean Lock or Father Ted, (Though the Red Dwarf DVD's are hard to beat.) Watch the IT crowd on Channle Four or Extras on BBC.If you are in pain or suffering Illness and the comedy isnt enough to cheer you up then maybe try reading about the Alexander technique and you might realise how much you do to yourself. And It might help to free you from your plight. Other wise try listening to the end of movie song from Monty Pythons "The Life of Brian" and always look on the bright side of life.
