Read these tweets in reverse order. They end with a Gary Glitter Bot retweeting one of the vids I'd found (hence the "Eur"), but is more interesting en route as I go from an RIP Gerry Rafferty selection of vids, via Beans and Toast to... well have a look. Great fun of a night is this Youtoobling lark.

Busy first week
Well that's what I call a busy first week to a year. 2011 started, after a weekend of holiday, with me taking advantage of the bank Holiday Monday to write a screenplay.
Okay, to be honest it's only the 7 page treatment for the screenplay, but the whole plot is there and it works. It currently has the very unsatisfactory title of The Insiders, which makes it sound like a crime film, which it isn't (though it does feature a theft, physical violence, kidnapping and piracy), and the two people who've read it so far are impressed. Sadly I now have the unenviable task of finding time to write it.
Which may take some time, if the example of The Tock is anything to go by. This is a kids book in rhyming couplets which I wrote and drew (pencils) on Jan 2nd 2010. Having shown it to some people a year ago, it was agreed it needed editing. It got that on Jan 2nd this year and is now down to under 40 pages (from 60), small enough to publish. All I have to do is find time to ink and colour the pictures. (Here's a tiny bit:)
Which is how I've spent the rest of this week. Having got the non-paying screenplay and kids book out of the way, I hit my desk running (and mixing metaphors badly, sorry) on Tuesday and have since delivered two pages of a brand new comic strip for Match called Galaxy Wanderers, plus a front cover (I can't show you too much of them before publication, but here's a tiny sneak preview:)
And if those three full colour pages weren't enough, I've also produced and delivered a double page spread diorama for Doctor Who Adventures. Again I'm not allowed to show you this, even after publication (you have to buy it), but here's just one small inch of it:
A very lot of Daleks appear in the spread, as well as all 11 Doctors (one of them twice), Davros, Ogrons, Movellans, Pig People, Dalek Caan, Wilf, Ace, Robomen breakdancing, Martha & Mickey and a bazooka, a Cyberman bearing gifts, Bracewell & an Ironside, and more stuff which will be fun to spot. Oh, and the new Dalek Paradigm, all five of them. Fun fun fun.
And starting tomorrow I do three days of my first Comic Art Masterclasses of the year, followed by the first Socks gig of the year (it's at The Mill at Rode, and I think low-key may be a good description. It's not a touring gig, but the 30,000 flyers in my hallway waiting to be posted to theatres suggest that a tour is about to happen. (The flyers look like this, by the way:
Best get busy eh? Here's to 2011 everyone.

15 Predictions for 2011
For this year's predictions, rather than concentrating on my career, which I could only jinx, I'm going to look at some things that could really make me money. I'm having a look at the things you can bet on, with actual money.
The sporting bets aside, about which I know little and care less, the website PaddyPower.com does a nice line in Novelty Bets. Obviously I won't put any money on these bets, unless I prove to be magically prescient then next time round maybe I will, but just for fun what do I predict these outcomes to be?
Bet: Who will replace Chris Moyles as Radio 1 Breakfast DJ?
I predict: Fearne Cotton 12/1
Bet: First band to officially split in 2011?
I predict: McFly 8/1
Bet: Who will win London mayoral election in 2012?
I predict: Boris Johnson 8/11
Bet: Who Will Play Alex Hurricane Higgins in his biopic?
I predict: Simon Pegg (no odds given, so 200/1?)
Bet: Who will play the next James Bond?
I predict: David Tennant (no odds given, so 500/1?)
Bet: Who will play Holden Caulfield in the film of Catcher In The Rye?
I predict: The fat kid out of Mad Men (Sally's friend?) No odds given, so 200/1?
Bet: Who will win Oldham & East Saddleworth byelection?
I predict: Labour 1/6
Bet: Who will win the Nobel Peace Prize 2011?
I predict: Vladimir Putin (no odds given so 100/1?)
Bet: Which volcano will be next to erupt?
I predict: Totally unheard of one that's not erupted for 200 years. (no odds given, so 50/1?)
Bet: Next actor to play Superman?
I predict: Milo Ventimiglia (no odds given, so 200/1?)
Bet: Who will win US Presidency in 2012?
I predict: Sarah Palin 10/1
Bet: Who will be the next BBC Trust Chairman?
I predict: Joan Bakewell (no odds given, so 100/1?)
Bet: Who will win Eurovision?
I predict: Croatia (no odds given, so 10/1?)
Bet: Who will host the Brit Awards?
I predict: Russell Brand 6/1
Bet: Will there be a White Christmas in London?
I predict: No. (You get 11/4 on it being white, what's that make non-white?)
There you have it, fifteen perfect predictions. Stay tuned for results as they roll in. Happy New Year.

Obviously I won't put any money on these bets, unless I prove to be magically prescient then next time round maybe I will, but just for fun what do I predict these outcomes to be?
Bet: Who will replace Chris Moyles as Radio 1 Breakfast DJ?
I predict: Fearne Cotton 12/1
Bet: First band to officially split in 2011?
I predict: McFly 8/1
Bet: Who will win London mayoral election in 2012?
I predict: Boris Johnson 8/11
Bet: Who Will Play Alex Hurricane Higgins in his biopic?
I predict: Simon Pegg (no odds given, so 200/1?)
Bet: Who will play the next James Bond?
I predict: David Tennant (no odds given, so 500/1?)
Bet: Who will play Holden Caulfield in the film of Catcher In The Rye?
I predict: The fat kid out of Mad Men (Sally's friend?) No odds given, so 200/1?

I predict: Labour 1/6

There you have it, fifteen perfect predictions. Stay tuned for results as they roll in. Happy New Year.
Years ending in a 1
Before I get onto my predictions for 2011, a quick thought on years ending in a 1. They have, before now, been quite significant for me.
2001 was the year of The Sitcom Trials, in as much as it was the first year I took that show, any show indeed, to the Edinburgh Fringe. This is something that I've gone on to do 6 times since, with increasing success.
1991 was the first year I edited a magazine, UT, which I devised and wrote a lot of. I also devised the syndicated Big comic and the horror comic Bloody Hell. It was the year I stepped up in the comics business from my first jobbing writer-artist work to starting to create and innovate. It's had its ups and downs since.
1981 was the year I started going out with Hev, to whom I've been married since, and the year I first performed comedy, in our college cabarets, which I also produced. I also directed videos for the first time. I've done a lot of all that since.
1971 I don't really remember much of, though I was there. It's possibly the year I drew my first comic strip or played my first guitar. Let's say it was, shall we?
1961 I remember absolutely nothing of. Which is not surprising as I spent 9 months of it in a womb, only emerging in October. Which reminds me, I have a party to organise later this year.
So, will this Year Ending in a 1 match up to its illustrious predecessors? Let's see.

Predictions for 2011
Predictions are a wonderful thing. I've never seen one come true, and never will.
That's the principle by which I wrote my nonsense predictions for last year. Obviously none of mine came true. But, and here lies the problem, none were exactly contradicted. The opposite didn't happen. Again, that never happens. So what will happen this coming year? Before I have a guess, let's have a look at my twaddly fizzibules from this time last year:
- China will invade a bit of Russia. Pointless bare-faced greedy land grab that leads to a major world war.
Of course they didn't. What happened was we learned, via Wikileaks, all the things these countries had been saying about each other for years. Fascinating, and not what anyone predicted happening.
- UK General Election will be won by Conservatives, landslide. BNP get two seats. Labour lose all of Scotland.
Nonsense. Tories won, but in a sense they didn't. BNP didn't get any seats, a victory for me there. And Labour almost held most of Scotland.
- Simon Cowell manages to copyright another TV format from the 1970s, as he has done with New Faces & Opportunity Knocks, and makes even more money. Maybe he revives Love Thy Neighbour
He, rather, extended the success of his current show both in the UK and America.
- The new Dr Who is rubbish and everyone stops watching it
It wasn't rubbish. The viewing figures dropped from previous seasons, but that coud be to do with the time slot. The Christmas episode had higher figures than last year, possibly for the same reason.
- Britain picks a fight with a small country that doesn't deserve it and kills lots of people
Nope, didn't. I'll take credit for that.
- I don't win the lottery, I don't inherit a fortune, and nothing I create makes a surprising amount of money...
I didn't win the lottery, so 100% correct there. Ditto the fortune. Something I created did make a surprising amount of money, namely the Scottish Falsetto Socks. Not a fortune, but better than predicted. However my venue still owe me three and a half thousand pounds which I should have been paid two months ago and that means I don't know what's going to happen about playing there next year. Who saw that coming?
So, what will happen in 2011...?
