Each week, we speak to a member of the community to ask what their perfect weekend in the region would be. This week, Mike Tweed catches up with Alexander Reid, a stand-up comedian and founder of the You’re Gonna Die in Bed podcast and Your Pal, Al handyman services.
Friday night would involve trying to have a beer. ‘Trying’ is the operative word there, because I’ve probably already spent my allocated pocket money for the week.
My wife thinks Saturday is for working on the house - we’re doing renovations - and Sunday is family day. My two primary goals are to avoid working on the house and avoid parenting.
Operation Don’t Work on the House involves suggesting, “Hey, why don’t we go out for coffee?”
We will usually go to Article or Little Curious Bagels. It’ll start with a coffee, but when I get to the counter I’ll order a bagel. Again, I have no pocket money, so it’s another conversation I’m having with my wife.
