I’ve got absolutely no explanation for what this episode of The Gravy Boat is about or even what it’s supposed to be. You’re just going to have to have a listen.

This episode of The Gravy Boat features an exclusive extract from the revolutionary 192-disk self help course, Karl Sétskwárr’s The Sétskwárr Method. Let Karl guide you through his life and a stunning guided meditation. It might just change your life. It probably won’t.
On a more mundane note, I recorded this episode on my netbook’s in-built microphone rather than on my iPhone. I know the quality isn’t as good, but is it still acceptable or do I need to invest in an external mic?

Like a teenage badger who thinks he’s hard because he’s got a flick-comb, I return to entertain you with romcoms, nonsense and tales of derring do. Sit back, relax and enjoy the last two weeks of The World of Sherby57.
Sunday 18th
Doppelganger! – A Tale of Adventure – A thrilling story from olden times (era not specified), when a woman meets her doppelgänger and almost nothing else of interest happens.
Monday 19th
Gravy Wars – Another chance to listen to my podcast in which we learn of Hulk Hogan’s significance in ending the second world war.
Tuesday 20th
Cyril’s Day Out – Another micro-literary fiction classic about a man on a day-trip to Llandudno.
Wednesday 21st
INPUT REQUIRED (Widnes Supercomputer) – The blog temporarily ran a live webchat with Widnes’s first supercomputer. Read this post to find out what happened.
Thursday 22nd
Perception – A Story – It may be set in a crazy future in which people live in pods, but don’t be fooled. This is as romantic a romcom as you’re likely to read. Unless you’re in the future and I’ve already written a more romantic one.
Sunday 25th
Wool Shop Songs – A story from my youth about singing for buttons.
Monday 26th
Mastersherby57 on TV – Another roundup of the week’s TV. This edition features: The Erotic Bin Men of Old London Town, Ken Bobbins is Interesting and Jacques Villeneuve’s Barmy Army.
Tuesday 27th
A Man Sat in a Box – Some nonsense about boxes.
Wednesday 28th
Listen – Wah, wah wah. Do you want to know a secret?
Thursday 29th
Joe’s Diner – A Story – Wow, another romantic romcom of the highest calibre (my opinion). You’re all so lucky to have me.
Friday 30th
My Prophetic Dream – My first Plinky attempt on TWoS57. It’s quite a lame joke.
Saturday 31st
My Neighbours – A Poem – Another Plinky post. It’s rubbish, but I felt compelled to finish it.
Fighting Evil With Corn Flakes: The Sherby57 Story – Yet more Plinky madness, but this time I like it. It’s the first chapter of Sherby57′s memoirs and it’s very moving. If any publishers are reading, then I’m happy to complete this whole book for a modest advance.

The Time: Yesterday, at dinner.
The Place: Weatherspoons (It doesn’t matter which one. It was full of alkies and people after cheap food. It could be any of them)
The Event: My dinner arrived replete with miniature gravy boat.
The meaning: Weatherspoons are trying to persuade me to do another episode of my excellent podcast through the medium of crockery. Who would have thought it?
Until the next episode appears, why not listen to the last episode here:

It’s hard to believe that yet another week has gone by.
Ok, so it’s really not that hard to believe, at all. I was just trying to make things sound a little bit more dramatic before launching into my usual round up of the week’s posts on The World of Sherby57. Why don’t you just read them.
Sunday 30th
Woo Shape – I wrote this post and I have no idea what it’s about. If you’d like to have a read and attempt an explanation then I’d be ever so grateful.
Monday 31st
The Book of Gravy – If you’ve not listened to the latest episode of my podcast yet, why not click this link and have a listen. It’s all based around a wedding speech. There is a reason for this, but you’ll have to listen to find out what that is.
End of Volume 2? – This post marks the three year anniversary of the creation of The World of Sherby57. Will there be another Sherby57 book released? Only time will tell. But probably yes. I need to feed my own ego.
Tuesday 1st
Post From The Past – June 2009 – This month’s Post From The Past features “The 57 Principles of Sherby” – an enlightening set of rules from which to live your life. If you only read one thing today, you should read that.
Wednesday 2nd
Don’t Tell My Heart – Yes, it’s a post about my achy breaky heart. Do I need to say any more?
Thursday 3rd
Stories – A Story – Another one of my emotional romcoms. This time we take a look at the effects that social constructionism can have on people’s lives and the strange ways that they overcome it.
Saturday 5th
This Post is Faulty – I’m afraid this post is a complete write off. There’s no way it could pass its MOT.

Hello everybody, it’s been a while. Well, it’s been a while since my last podcast. I’m blogging all the time.
Anyway, I was slightly apprehensive about creating a new podcast after so long, so I used a special book to give me some ideas. Why not have a listen and discover what that book was and whether or not it gave me any useful advice.
p.s.
It didn’t.
p.p.s.
It wasn’t the Bible.

It’s another week’s posts from the blog that has a book. Did I mention that there was a book of The World of Sherby57? Oh, I did. Never mind, I just thought I’d check.
Sunday 4th
Post From The Past – April 2009 – It’s the final part of the story of why I went missing for three months. It wouldn’t take a genius to work out that I was totally bored of doing it by this stage.
Monday 5th
Angry Table: The Musical – A Poem – A poem about the perils of writing a musical about an angry table. No, I don’t know where it came from either.
Tuesday 6th
Easter Gravy – Yet another fabulous episode of The Gravy Boat Podcast. This one features a ‘bible story’. There is a chance that I made it up.
Wednesday 7th
Sherby57 on TV on Ice – A quick look at the week’s TV, featuring the hit drama, Tweet Town Blue. If you like textspeak then this is for you.
Thursday 8th
The Man Done Some Stuff 3: Man in New York – The return of the world’s most romantically comedic series of romcoms. This time the man is a different man, but the original man is still in it. I know that sounds a bit confusing but it will all make sense if you just read it. It’s also set in New York so it’s very cosmopolitan.
Friday 9th
Visit Wolfsteinsten – If you’re thinking about getting away for the weekend then I suggest you give this post a read. Wolfsteinsten is a little known destination, but it’s well worth a visit.
Saturday 10th
Martha’s Bangers – A Story – The week ends with a beautiful romance story of the highest order. And it’s set in a truck stop. What more could you ask for? Look out for a special guest appearance by Geoffrey Dunstable. Yes, THAT Geoffrey Dunstable.

It’s been another stunning week of posts on Sherby57. But, I’m really biased because I wrote them. Why not read them for yourself, just to prove that you agree with me.
Sunday 28th
Let’s Hear it for the Brain Mite – Not enough people know how their own soggy brains work. Have you even heard of brain mites before? I thought not. Perhaps you should have a read of this post and let me educate you. To be fair, a lot of the information was arrived at by educated guesses, so you might want to double check before you attempt any surgery.
Monday 29th
Unlucky Gravy – It’s an advert for the thirteenth episode of The Gravy Boat podcast. If you like truck stop conventions\festivals then it’s your duty to listen.
Tuesday 30th
This is Between You and Me – Shhhh. Don’t say anything. This post is just for me and you. I know you understand. Let’s keep it secret, yeah?
Thursday 1st
Des’s Surprise – A Story – Gosh. It’s yet another ground-breaking romcom. How do I keep on producing romantic fiction of such high quality? I must be jam-packed full of romance. To the brim.
Friday 2nd
New Sherby57 Products – Not only is Sherby57 a blog, it’s also a company that produces innovative consumer products. Take a look at these four exciting products and then rush out to buy them. They’re literally amazing.

I’m proud to bring you this Gravy Boat Easter special. Not only do I regale you with news of my new bonnets, but there’s an e-mail from James and this inspires a re-telling of my favourite Bible story, “The Grumpy Farmer’s Son”. To be fair, this is a very loose interpretation of the tale and it certainly peters out towards the end. But, it is Easter and you could do with a bit of biblical knowledge, so pay close attention.

Do I really need to write an introduction to this, this week? No. I didn’t think so.
Damn…does this constitute an introduction?
Sunday 21st
Attention Earthlings! – Sherby57 was hijacked last Sunday as some sort of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen type alien shared his message with the world. I don’t know how long it’s going to take for him to get here, but keep on the look out for a UFO with an enormous paint roller attached.
Monday 22nd
The Gravy Dozen – It’s a lovely advert for episode 12 of The Gravy Boat. If you’ve not listened yet then you’ve missed a tale about an unusual watch and the first mention of Truckstopcon ’10.
Wednesday 24th
Booky – Our good friends at the Torben Piechnik Institute have made a comeback as they discover an entirely new type of book. They decided to call it ‘Booky’… I don’t know why.
Thursday 25th
Tea for Two – A Story – Those of you paying attention will notice that I write at least one bizarre romcom story every week. This week was a belter, so much so that I already plugged it here. Does it sounds conceited for me to call it a ‘belter’? Perhaps, but it was pretty good. It’s the story of a man who runs a literary bakery who meets a woman who runs a herbal tea shop. What sort of ridiculous misunderstanding will blight their fledgling romance? Just how sappy will its conclusion be? You’re just going to have to have a read to find out.
Friday 26th
Visit The Sherby57 Estate – Not many people know that the Sherby57 estate is one of the top tourist attractions in the country. Did anybody spot the deliberate mistake in that last sentence? Either way, have a read of this and I’m sure you’ll be jumping in your car to visit.
Saturday 27th
Wigan Casino – A Poem – It’s a short poem about a man who wants to be a gangster despite some obvious setbacks. I wish I could say that I planned to call it Wigan Casino from the outset, but the connection only came to me once I had finished. I just got lucky.
