Blogging A to Z: K is for Kings and Kinkiness

Kings and kinkiness are subjects I know a lot about.

Now before you jump to conclusions, the reason I know about these subjects is because I’ve studied history. And, as anyone who’s studied history knows, kings have a habit of being kinky and have been dropping their pants at will since the dawn of civilization.

The most notable of the kinky kings was, of course, King Henry VIII. Now I need to explain that the “VIII” is not just because Henry was the eighth Henry to sit on the English throne but because he was affectionately known amongst the royal circles as “Eight-Times-A-Night-Henry.”

That’s right. Eight times a night. And that’s after a ten course meal and a flagon of wine.

Anyhow, there have been many theories about the cause of Henry’s death including syphilis, Type 2 diabetes and Mcleod syndrome. But the truth is – he died from exhaustion.

That’s what happens when you have too many mistresses, six wives and you have to pull your tights up and down all day and night.

I get exhausted just pulling on my pop socks. I think I went wrong somewhere.

Henry always stood with his legs apart for a reason.

After 18 years on another CMS, I have moved my blog to a more versatile platform. However, it will take some time while I perform some jiggery-pokery to get it exactly how I want it. So please bear with me as things fall off the page, are posted upside down and so on. It has also beome apparent that I will have to edit hundreds of posts as importing them has screwed up all the post layouts, especially paragraphs. This

A Chicken Nugget A Day Keeps Justice Away

I have been forced. Yes, forced to come out of blog hibernation to comment on the latest scandal to hit the UK. God knows I have been tempted multiple times in the last few years to comment on some of the insane things happening in the UK and in the world, but sadly, life has just thrown too many curve balls at me. But today, I can take no more – I cannot keep my mouth shut any longer over

It’s the early hours of the morning, and I have had a large gin… Late-night alcohol is always a good recipe for writing gibberish. And I have not written gibberish for a while on my blog as I have been busy writing gibberish for my MA in Comedy Writing. Which I recently passed with a distinction. Yay! Yes, it transpires that even academics can be fooled into thinking gibberish is genius. Excellent. So anyway, I have written two sitcoms, a

I’ve been practising my haikus, which you may recall, I’m not particularly good at. However, I wanted to address the woke issue in a concise, meaningful way as it is such a serious matter for discussion and particularly relevant to me as a comic writer. Which, if you know me, translates as: 1) I’m too lazy to write a long analytical post. And 2) I’d rather watch a movie and eat tortilla chips. However, I feel obliged to say my

So this post is just going to be a stream of possibly (wildly erratic) thoughts. So hang on to your breeches; we could go anywhere with them. Cripes, I only managed three posts last year. And I call myself a writer? Pathetic! Though, to be fair to me, almost everyone who was blogging with me in 2007/8 no longer blogs or blogs even less than I do now. A few later blogs are still going, so kudos to those

Are You Having A Laugh?

An ex-secret service agent with a personality problem and a desire for imperial glory. An aged president who looks like he’s got a giant fork prong stuck up his arse to keep him upright. A floppy-haired bumbling classics graduate with a predisposition for crass decisions. A tinpot dictator who showcases his weapons like a movie trailer. A comedian who has found himself elevated to global status. If the world wasn’t on the brink of war this surely would be the

You might not be emulating his lifestyle but hopefully you'll outlast his lifespan 😉

Yes, he was, Nicky. He could consume more chicken drumsticks and women in a day than any other King of England:D

I think it would be fun to emulate his lifestyle, Wendy! Unfortunately, I am still on marriage no 1. My time is running out to surpass Henry. Blast.

I have never studied history or kings. If it was written this way I find it more fascinating and actually read about kings and their kinkiness. Very funny!
