Agents

Saturday, October 20th, 2012

Why would you pay an agent to do something you can easily do yourself? Give the money to me if you don’t know what to do with it. Take a travel agent for example. Anyone will do. Their business is making money out of booking your holiday, to save you the trouble of doing it yourself. Next time your booking a holiday try getting a quote from the agent then seeing how much it would cost via  . I’m affiliated to the site from a previous venture so it will register as traffic which might come in handy some day.

Joke of the day (JOTD) – Double Science

Saturday, October 20th, 2012

When I was at school I was hopeless at science. In year 1 I had double science (chemistry and biology) with Mr Felton. He hated me and I was scared to death of him. There was no chemistry between us.

Making Jimmy Carr and Ken Dodd look like small time!

I don’t drink much coffee and I don’t eat cake (when I can help it). So thankfully I’ve done very little to support the biggest tax dodge known to man (well this one). If I opened a cafe I’d be paying my dues so why not this lot!

Starbucks have made £1.2 billion sales in the last 3 years and not a penny paid back into the tax system. So they have been running at a loss for 3 years. I think not. Good article here and a good reason to ask.

Sadly there are other major companies out there doing the same. At least they’re creating jobs. Anyone for Costa Coffee?

Hello world!

Welcome to the blog of “Captain” Mike Lord.

Not that I’ve earned the rank of Captain in anyway, you’ll have to come to a comedy gig to understand how I got the title. I have no co-writers so “admin” is Captain Mike himself. I’ll be flagrantly advertising any up and coming gigs from time to time and trying to provide an interesting and funny platform to debate the things that I’m excited about or are troubling me. So please join in with any conversations but please understand that my comedy excludes humour of a sick or racist nature etc. Have fun!!
