Brrrrrrrrr!

It’d be silly not to document my Ice Bucket Challenge video here (made in response to Wayne Francis dobbing me in for it). This has all been a wildly effective and truly viral exercise in raising funds and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral

Monty Python. I got to see Monty frigging Python perform, live (almost)*.  Twice. Where to begin on a story like this?! At the tender young age of about 10 whilst killing time in the Victorian town of Elmore my brother

Finally, somebody noticed!

This is rather a big moment for me – after having had a YouTube account since what I’m assuming is 2006 (that’d be the first video I uploaded there, anyway), I’ve FINALLY had something magical happen. Nearly 2 years ago
