Venn
Have I ever shared with you my Potter/Comedian/Transvestite Venn Diagram? No? Here it is:
I noticed a while ago that I knew two celebrity potters: Turner prizewinner Grayson Perry and stand-up slob Johnny Vegas, who trained in ceramics and became famous with an act that involved using a potter's wheel live on stage.
I also know of only two famous British transvestites: Eddie Izzard and the aforementioned Grayson Perry.
And two of those three people, Eddie and Johnny, are both stand-up comedians.
I'm sure that this Means Something.
I wonder if I could become famous as the first ever transvestite standup who makes pots!
Long shot, I know.
...
If this post seems a little delirious it might be because I've been home for 2 days and I'm currently very dosed up on Lemsip Max Strength, a substance which I suspect Hunter S. Thompson would have written about, had he experienced it. Perhaps I'll become a transvestite gonzo journalist whacked up on non-prescription drugs!
"Fear and Loathing in Lynn High Street", anyone?

'We were somewhere around Birmingham when the Lemsip took hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe I need another pair of shoes". And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge M&S jumpers, baggy and beige, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car. And a voice was screaming "Holy Jesus! Call this clothing? It doesn't even co-ordinate with my lippy."
