God Talks (Part 9)



















* I mean, he’s just like some fertility god.
That’s not very original, is it?
He hasn’t even got any abstract qualities.
OK, I haven’t got any either, but I’m going to GET some soon ...
I’m not going to be a tribal deity all my life, I can tell you!
And, I mean, he’s like all “Come round to my house for a cultic orgy.”
I mean, yeah right, get over yourself ...

Hawker's Pot Greetings Cards












My Hawker’s Pot greetings cards (including the one pictured) are now being stocked in various shops bookshops and cardshops in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire (for a full list see the updated “Physical Stockists of Hawker’s Pot Cards” to the right).

So if you’re passing one of these places, you may want to pop in and buy a card. If, however, you are not in one of these three Western counties, I really don’t know what to suggest.  

God Talks (Part 8)













And don’t forget, Miserable Malcolm is performing “Graveside Manner” three times next weekend at the Stroud Theatre Festival. The times are Friday 9 September 8pm, Saturday 10 September 9pm and Sunday 11 September 8pm, all in the Kendrick Room, which is the upstairs bar in Stroud Subscription Rooms.

Miserable Jack Horner and Friends



 











Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Eating his heart out.
*

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Full of cares and woe.
*

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
In despair.
*

Oh, the grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
And they were depressed a lot of the time.
*

See-saw
Margery Daw,
Having terrible mood swings.

Robert and Clara Schumann, Joke-writers (Part 1)










Robert and Clara Schumann wrote some of the greatest jokes of the nineteenth century. Later, Robert was driven mad by his own punch lines. But today Robert and Clara’s jokes are repeated all round the world.

Miserable Malcolm at Priddy, and if Wishes were Horses ....
















Miserable Malcolm will be appearing at Priddy Folk Festival tomorrow (and is unlikely to have cheered up, to be honest).  He will be doing a 40 minute set at the Words Wizard Cabaret along with Trevor Carter (Bristol Storyteller of the Year 2014) and Spikey Tim (a Dr Seuss for Grown Ups).  The Words Wizard Cabaret takes place between 6 and 8pm in the Goatchurch Tent. Malcolm will be banging on about his usual themes, lost love, death and misery, and hopes that’ll go down all right with a folk audience.
