Show 24: Very Poor!

My first show after the Christmas break, (my Christmas special was repeated to fill in the gaps), was not a good one. My brain and body have not yet got used to my new dietary regime and the withdrawal of caffeine is playing fuck with my concentration. That and the fact that I'm only eating fruit and raw vegetables during the day means that my stomach is protesting in the worse possible way so that I cannot stray too far away from a toilet. As a result I feel sluggish and punch drunk. To demonstrate the fact that I wasn't on top of my game today, I played an Oasis song by mistake. I had loaded a compilation CD into the computer system and selected a couple of tracks from it while I left the studio to make a drink and go to the toilet. It wasn't until I returned that I realised my error, (putting in the wrong disc) and had inadvertently played a song by a talentless plagiarist pile of shit called Oasis. Even worse was the fact that I was recording two shows, as time commitments mean I won't be free next week.
