#0001. THIS MAN, EATING CARROTS.

'This Man' in isolation, I like. He's called Pete and I'm working with him on a BBC1 show at the moment, and he's funny and intelligent. Funny and intelligent enough to make you hate him, in fact. But I don't. I like him. Really.

Add 'This Man' to the action 'Eating Carrots', however, and the results are appalling. A percussive blast of cracks, snorts and slaps, it sounds like a piglet being kicked down a flight of stairs. Or a human beatbox drowning in a vat of chewing gum. If Satan has a ring-tone, this is it.

But, you know, I've found a way to cope with it. From now on, when it's a carrot day, I just eat my lunch in the car.

I just hope he never reads this, even though you do like and respect him.

Ever heard or seen anyone eat raw cauliflower? That's a gripe for me.

Oh my. I can only imagine how grotesque this man would be eating a raw cauliflower.

Maybe I'll take some in for him next time and try it.

Cheers Rob. That's really not a bad idea.
