Welcome to thedailychuckle.uk, a digital corner of the internet that has been carefully untidyed to resemble the inner workings of a mind that has spent too much time listening to the Goon Show while eating blackberry jam.

I'm Andy Hawthorne. And I'm not very good at writing about myself. I'm based in Coventry, England. A city of two halves. It's a bit like Janus, the Roman god. But with more ringroads.

Inspired by the incomparable Spike Milligan and his masterpiece Puckoon, this blog is a collection of daily observations, surreal sketches, and general nonsense.

"I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of widths." — Spike Milligan

We hope these posts bring a small smile to your face, or at least a confused tilt of the head. That is all we can ask for in this strange, square-wheeled world.
