Better than Barack?

They may not be world leaders. They may not be Harvard Law graduates. They aren't fighting against an entrenched system of prejudice. But they are very, very funny.

At the constant prompting of a friend I have started down loading the Hamish and Andy podcast, forty minutes of edited highlights from a daily drive time show in Australia. As well as being free and funny (every day) it features some quality guests (last weeks sampling: The Kings of Leon, Russell Brand and...Zac Efron). On the downside it makes me laugh out loud when walking to school in the morning and I am close to taking a pounding from the "rough" kids who wear hats as part of their uniform. I think they attribute my laughs to their trivial conversation (sample: "I bought ten fags da ova day" "init! dat from corner shop?" "yeah" "da one where Zoe gave the man behind the counter a blowie for 3 Lambert and butler" "yeah") or mental illness both valid reasons for a pasting in their tiny, tiny minds.

So any way, download it, listen and be merry. Another 42 minutes of my day not spent on A level study...
