Where are you going tonight?

[Aanvalluh]

Wasn't graffiti, but a wag on the Burnden Terrace in Worthington Days - during a particulary good game. Franky was known for his admiration of (several) ladies, as you well know.

"Eeee. Frank...you can have my wife".

"He already has".

Memories of The Navada...I (a non-smoker) used to chase the girls who smoked as I had been told they were easy. After 143 attempts, I began to realise I'd been had. Happy days.

[EverSoYouri]

Off to the Lowry tonight for three short monologues by Samuel Beckett. Should put me right in the mood for tomorrow's match.

Macron - Theatre of Futility.

Ah ... Beckett. "Who will rid me of this turbulent poet ?"

Godot - if he turns up!

One of the best pieces of graffiti I ever saw was on a wall at Leeds Uni which read "If Godot shows tell him I waited as long as I could"

to the lot of you!

Hmmm. Tom Hingley is playing in my local boozer tonight. Half of me's intrigued by the fact that a man who's been on Top of the Pops is singing in my local, but the other half of me's reminding me that Inspiral Carpets were fecking shite!

My mate plays bass with him in one of his many incarnations of "band" - he has many...

He played in the Old Original Bay Horse a couple of times, mate saw him and wasn't inpressed but I haven't. Agree about Insiral Carpets.

A little culture vulturing today.

To the Cornerhouse to catch Ida, a Polish film that has been winning massively supportive reviews. Black and White, a drama, set in 1962, played under the shadow of the holocaust. Ida is an 18 year old about to take vows as a nun. She visits her last surviving relative, who she has never met, an aunt, to discover a hardline communist. A clash of 'faiths' follows and Ida finds out more about her past and the fate of her family. This will not be a comedy.

Then I suspect noodles at Tampopo (pre-theatre menu a bargain) before going to see Hamlet (played by Maxine Peake) at the Royal Exchange. The production has been criticised but her performance has been highly praised.

Looking forward to these...

If you fancy somewhere near the cornerhouse, try Kitchenette (it's just next to the Sainsbury's across the road). I had these steamed buns with sticky fried chicken which were good.

Will give it a whirl. Cornerhouse has some good stuff coming up. We are thinking of making Tues afternoon Cornerhouse and eat in Manchester day.

Tonight was Joan Armatrading at the town hall.

Very good.

[EverSoYouri]

Tonight was Joan Armatrading at the town hall.

Very good.

Was working - reviewing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at the Palace. Good for what it is - camp musical extravaganza, quite clever in places. "All these things you saw in your pyjamas, are a long-range forecast for your farmers" (Tim Rice at his finest?)


Would have preferred Joan, though.

is that a local company or the travelling show? if it's the travelling show - my daughter was in the chorus for that when it rolled through Torquay this year... Joseph was "H" from Steps...

No .... he's watching me have mine dyed.

Too many hours spent learning to play Libiamo ne' lieti calici on the piano (had to go look up how it was spelt), might account for the lack of hair that I'll be washing.

Who can resist a good opera with a drinking song in it?

E pericoloso sporgersi. Rock on.
