The questions being kicked around the ball park in programme one are as follows..
1. Were those great philosophers Abba right when they said it's always sunny in the rich man's world?
2. Is it good to talk?
3. Liverpool or Manchester, which is better?
4. Should I Stay or Should I Go? Are you a stayer or a goer?
The questions, you will gather, are not to be taken literally. If they were, we should all be in trouble.
Joining me on each programme will be journalist, author, and ex-barrister Will Buckley, and two guest panellists. For the first show, these will be comedy writer and Have I Got News For You producer Jo Bunting, and top Scouse comic Silky. Jon Ronson, Mark Watson, and Hils Barker are among guests booked for future shows.
Jake Yapp will also be a regular contributor, and there may be a top ten feature each week, if I can be arsed to write one.
The first was to be "Top Ten Signs the Middle Classes Are Being Hit by the Recession," but I can only think of six.
Here they are:
They’ve opened a branch of Poundstretcher in Holland Park
At smart dinner parties, they’re only offering one sort of humus
Posh kids are being dropped off at school in 2x2s
Someone in Maidenhead spotted eating haslet
Dolce and Gabbana including a darning kit with some of their clothes
Waiting time for a table at the Ivy.....fifteen minutes
If you can add to the list, and make it into a ten, email me via the web site. Please.

Meanwhile, the Tuesday night Comedy Cellar is building, and it returns to the Verve club downstairs, Merrion Street, Leeds, Tuesday December 2nd. Be there or be somewhere else.
Also, watch out for PPP 135, coming very soon, and pisser and poorer than ever before!
