About Gravy

Hello.

My name is Steven.  Ste for short.  Never Steve.

I guess, if you’re one of those people that isn’t aware of “Ste” as an abbreviation of Steven then I might let you off.  We’ll see.  Just don’t push your luck.

Anyway, welcome to my blog.  I like to write about all sorts of things – whatever pops into my head, to be honest.  It might be television, snacks or occasionally football.  Oh, there is also a campaign to brighten up fridges in offices up and down the land with my Milk Bottle Manifesto.  I literally run the gamut.  Oh, and I write about comedy.  I’m trying to be a stand up comedian.  If you want to give me a gig, please get in touch.  I’m hilarious.  No, really.  I’d like more gigs.

This blog is also the home of my podcast, The Gravy Boat.  There’s no fixed format to TGB, other than I’m involved and that it’s not edited.  Sometimes I’m waffling on my own, sometimes I’m in conversation (with another person) and sometimes I appear as a hilarious character.  You can find details of all the episodes, here.

Alternatively, you can listen to it on iTunes, here:

Or, if like me, you have got rid of your iPhone and have realised how great Google Reader\Listen is, the RSS feed is:

If that’s not enough for you, then I do write another blog: The World Of Sherby57.  It’s a load of different stories, poems, drawings and ideas that are effectively private jokes with myself.  Give it a try, you might like it.  You might not, but that’s not my problem.  If you do like it, then I’ve written a book based on the first first year of posts.  You can buy it, here.

There’s a chance that you’re reading this page because you’re curious where the name “Pour Some Gravy On Me” come from.  Well, just calm down a minute and I’ll tell you.  The original name that I came up with was ‘An Audience of None’, for pretty self explanatory reasons.  Sadly (but maybe fortunately), this name was already taken, and I had to think something up on the fly.  In search of a title that was at least vaguely memorable, I searched Sherby57 for ideas.  I’m sure that you are way ahead of me as I tell you that one of the posts was called: Pour Some Gravy On Me

This was based on a story I heard, where someone thought it was extremely posh that someone they knew didn’t know what gravy was. Personally, I’d call it a sign of stupidity, but then, I really am a massive oik, and what would I know?  The title was just a play on the song title, ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’, by poodle haired Yarkshiremen Def Leppard.   I’m tres clever, as the Frrench might say.
And that should tell you pretty much all you need to know.  I hope you stick around and have a read of my posts, and, if you’re feeling frisky, maybe leave a comment or two.

Keep drinking that gravy,

Ste
