Went to The Lowry to see Sean o Casey's The Silver Tassie. It was outstanding, a rarely performed play by one of Ireland's truly great 20th Century writers, excellently acted, played and sung (there's a lot of music and song) by a cast of 19... first trip to the theatre since catching Shakespeare at The Globe in July.

And - for theatre fans - the new season at the Octagon starts tonight with A Streetcar Named Desire. Can't make it tonight - but booked for a couple of weeks hence. I'm confident it will be good.

I did that on Tuesday. Final was at Wembley apparently. We came second in every game.

Went to a Sportsman's on Friday night, speaker was one Frank Worthington. Comedian by the name of Max Pressure. Looks like Alan Carr but roughly a billion times funnier. Both speakers good, had a cracking night and probably raised some money for a good cause and that.

Saints Huddersfield in the last ever match at Knowsley Rd. I know it's tomorrow but I'm that excited. Too young to be emotional at the last match at Burnden really despite being there, but feck me I'm filling up just thinking about tomorrow night!

Must have revised his speech then because ive seen him twice and both times were exactly the same script, and both tired, boring and unfunny.

I have to agree. When I saw him he got the laughs because of who he was and who his audience were rather than for what he said. Still a fookin' legend though.

That would be one hell of a spoiled party. I refuse to entertain that notion!

In fairness I was leathered and may well have been laughing because of who he is. I still thought it was good at the time though, shirley what counts

As an aside, dunno about your dos, but from ours he still certainly seemed to have a way with the ladies. Swarms of them all night, despite his ludicrous checked jacket, cowboy tie, and wrong wrong hair. You never lose it.

Well, after a night at a 50th in farnworth, I've been asked to play for a footy team tomorrow for their cup game in Howfen. Should be interesting considering i haven't played properly in four months.

Fortunately none of that happened, though it threatened for a while. Absolutely made up for Cunningham scoring the last try there as well. Imagine the McGinlay goals at Burnden times by 10!

I'm definitely in the camp that says infinity can't have a +1.

The gig was great Bruce; what I saw of it. Fookin' cock up all round. Late leaving the Island due to minor family crisis. (won't bore you with details, but what is it with daughters!!!!???) Got to fastcat to find they are only running hourly 'cos of 'technical difficulties'. F**kin' catch all excuse to say we can't run a service properly. Got to pompey at 9.15, Wedgewod rooms at 9.35, in a taxi. Doorstaff didn't want to let us in! ' Doors close when the main act take the stage'.Bo**ox. Eventualy they let us in, and I found out they'd already played two numbers but the guy I spoke to didn't know which songs!Johnny on good form; I think with it being the first date of tour, the band were really up for it and played tighter than Nun's c**t. Mainly stuff from new album, but interspersed with old favourites like favourite sky, etc. Nice acc version of Astray. They didn't play proof whilst I was there, but we had to leave at 10.40 to catch the last cat back (11.15) to the island, as wightlink (shitelink), due to aforesaid 'difficulties', had cancelled the 12.45am. Next boat would have been 4.45 if we'd missed the early one. So all in all a pleasant(ish) hour spent watching the mighty Kloot, but not as relaxed as I could have been! Especialy as the Piratess kept piping up with "should we just give it a miss"
Scandalously, the venue wasn't sold out; that's southerners for you. No fu*kin' class. Mainly full of students and the odd lecturer. Not one or two, they were odd! But as always, if you have to kill for a ticket to see 'em, I'd say it's worth the risk.
