Oh Life & Bingas

Every second video on TikTok seems to be people asking deep questions, or people not laughing at dad jokes. This encouraged me to compile my own thoughts on the world around me to show what a Generation Xer thinks. I am no-one special, just a man who bought a Dictaphone thirty years ago and recorded his thoughts, when others simply let them vanish into the ether. This book will appeal to all generations as the themes are universal along with stand up comedians looking for inspiration for their act.
 

One drop starts a majestic waterfall.  One drip starts a flood. 

How long is a piece of string?  Twice the distance from the middle to one end. 

Which came first the chicken or the egg?  The egg as dinosaurs hatched from eggs and they were around before the chickens. 

When you were at your school dance and you had to pass your partners round, the music always stopped before you got to dance with the girl you fancied. 

If you put a card back in an envelope you kill it.  It needs to breathe. 

The door close button in a lift isn't connected to anything. 

You won’t have heard of the make of batteries I get free with my remote control and they don’t sell them in the shops.

There is a big difference between saying bye and bye-bye, and aye sir and aye-aye sir. 

The Bingas were created one night whilst waiting for a Chinese take-away and doodling on the menu. I have drawn hundreds of them over the years and I have selected my favourites for this book.
