Our Australian adventure continues.
March 2016 sees me and my folk band The Young'uns touring Australia. It therefore becomes increasingly challenging to write, record and release daily blogs due to busy schedules, travel and patchy WIFI. But that isn't enough to stop me. Week 11 of this project brings tales of horsey hitch hikers, howling pissing dog ladies and a fictional meeting with the Queen.
Enter the mind of my teenage self as I present you with some of my metal songs covering such subjects as psychos, murderers and vegans. Sheffield and Rotherham do battle, I fondle a couple of rings, and we dollop from yet another exciting location: this time it's Heathrow Airport as I head to Australia.

As we enter February, the challenge to write and record a blog everyday becomes a lot more difficult and fraught with obstacles. Nevertheless I bravely and defiantly soldier on to bring you stories of cats, cupboards and kettles, the tale of my embarrassing sleep walking incident, and a very awkward moment with a girl on a train.
This week there's plenty of paranormal activity, I learn a startling bottom-based fact courtesy of a Beastie Boys forum, and I share a bed with some quirky Australians.

In 2016 I released a podcast everyday for that year. The project was called David's Daily Digital Dollop. In a bid to streamline this podcast I have deleted the 366 daily episodes for 2016 and am replacing them with weekly omnibus editions. Enjoy the first week's worth of Dollops, featuring a rather colourful pub landlord, a chat with a member of the church Of The Flying spaghetti Monster, a blagger's guide to football chat, a warning for virgins, and I have a run-in with God.
