- & not a woman who once as an experiment put a wasp in a jar & got it stoned. These other subjects include: Caffeine; Ghostbusters; Being Poor; Twitter; Caravans; Obama; Wales; Marijuana Addiction; Paul Mc Cartney; The Welfare State; Sherlock; David Cameron Looking Like Ham; Amy Winehouse; Elizabeth Taylors Eyes; Michael Jacksons Funeral; The Big Society; Big Hair; Nutter-letters; Failed Nicknames; Wolverhampton; Squirrels Testicles; Sexy Tax; Binge-drinking; Chivalry; Rihannas Cardigan; Boris Johnson
- Albino Shag-hound; Party Bags; Hot People; Transsexuals; The Gay Moon Landings; & My Own Untimely Death."
