Those who are sadly...
Goodnight from him.
2005 was a strange year. We lost a lot of people who we thought would never die. Ronnie Barker passed away, which has cut off a particularly irregular but extremely reliable source of income for me.

George Galloway
Lick-spittle.
I am quite political, but I have never allowed my politics to be the sole or main way of judging someone. Obviously there are certain exceptions; ex-members of the Hitler Youth are obviously a no-no.

A review of 2005
Mark talks about the past year
The year kicks off with a conga starting at Lands End, finishing at John O Groats. By the end of it, there are 20,000 people joining in. Things get a bit messy when it goes through a Mr Taylor’s garden.

Superman
Is it a bird..... No.
If there was one figure in popular culture who had more influence on shaping the generation of young minds whilst I was growing up, then it would have to be Superman.

Everybody wants to rule the world.
Especially Mark.
I have recently developed a slightly narcissistic streak and began to feel that perhaps things really would be better if I did run the country after all.

Nailbomb 3 - Piers Pressure
I'm starting with the man in The Mirror.
The first scalp in Fleet Street was claimed recently, when the train-wreck that was the Mirror Abuse Photos Expose came to a scraping, grinding and shuddering halt.

Burning bridges and naming names.
These last few months have seen more people come forward and proudly announce themselves to be card carrying bigots.

Spite Rant 3
Anti-PC Comics
Since we've had many comedians which people describe as "Politically Correct", we've had traditional (bigoted) comics slithering out of the woodwork.

Charity TV is shit
It seems that there are so many charity TV programmes around the world... but nothing ever happens. I had an idea for a charity event that would raise a lot of money...

Vacuous Bigots
Every country has its army of vacuous bigots, ready to respond to any question with an unwavering pig ignorance which never ceases to despair me.

Paedophiles
The government recently closed a loophole in the law which had existed, that made it easy for paedophiles and sex offenders to go to countries like Bangkok without their motives being called into question.

War
The war was a foregone conclusion from the start. George Bush wanted it, so it was going to happen. It is as simple as… that.

Mortification
Being caught masturbating is one of the most excruciatingly embarrassing things that can befall you. There is, however, something which happened to me which is all the more mortifying.

Diary Miskeeping
Due to my ever increasingly hectic schedule, I have taken to keeping a diary with me at all times. Not a secret diary. Not a diary from which I can recount Memoirs and then sell.

Myra Hindley, A Tribute
I find it quite interesting. In the week that Diana died, Mother Teresa decided to pop her little sandals. It was almost as though God wanted to create a nice little dichotomy.

Life is a lottery
Another drastic change in my life is that I have started buying the Daily Mail. Yes, I have delved into the world of blind reactionary hate and “bunny fascism”.

The moon is not a balloon
Since writing my last column I have undergone something of a Laurence Llwelyn style makeover in terms of some of my beliefs.

Political Correctness Corrected
An argument that seems to be becoming increasingly fashionable is the idea that you can now no longer say anything in public without some do-gooder leaping all over you.

Rancid Crime Conspiracy
Crime, it would appear, is everywhere. If we were to believe everything we read in the papers, then leaving the house and making our way to the shops is fraught with unknown dangers.

Our Forward Thinking World
Hey, did anybody watch The Sopranos the other night? You must have seen it, all you E4 whores out there will have seen it a good year ago.

Kebabs and wanking comdey
There are some good comedians out there but we now have a glut of what I like to call “Kebabs N Wanking” comedians. A bunch of Loaded-reading, trendy bottled beer drinking, designer clad chancers.

Comic Relief, relief
Earlier this year saw the recurrence of the phenomenon known as Comic Relief. Celebrities donned silly costumes, set themselves up and took part in a four hour marathon of average entertainment.

Evans above, Interesting fact and Race Test
Apparently Chris Evans is still having trouble finding a way back into the world of popular entertainment. His latest Channel 4 series Boys And Girls did not entirely set audiences alight.
