"How to start your own country" was brilliant last night. I think Danny Wallace is great. If you haven't already done so read his books:
* Join me
and
* Yes man
They're both brilliant reads. Yes Man is about a time in his life when he decided he wold only say yes to any request, invitation or anything you could usually say 'yes' or 'no' to and it's hilarious some of the things that happen becuase of this. Join me is about a time when he placed an ad in the local paper which simply said "Join me. To join just send me a passport photograph of yourself". people sent photos and "joined him" but they and Danny had no idea what they were joining. In the end, thousands of people joined so Danny had to devise some sort of thing for his "band of joinees" to actually do.
His other, co-written book "Are you Dave Gorman" is also brilliant but you'll all know about that anyway. Ok , enough of my shameless Danny Wallace promotion.
WATCH NEXT WEEK'S "HOW TO START YOUR OWN COUNTRY" .
(Ok, I had to do one more piece of promotion)
