Where are you going tonight?

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

Pub, then tomorrow I'm off to Wolves for my first away game in ages. Next weekend I've got the Lancashire Sports Awards in Blackpool, then my driving theory, then Frank Turner at 53 Degrees in Preston, then hopefully soon after my real driving. Busy busy busy.

The driving theory is the second easiest exam you could ever take, behind your final assessment for the FA Level One Coaching badge. Good luck, but if you can breathe without opening your mouth then you won't need any luck.

Me? Mother-In-Law's 65th birthday bash during daytime in Stamford (missing the match), then getting dropped off at my old football club for beer pong and the boxing.

Sunday, off to get a scan to find out the sex of Kebabling No 2. I've already got the Kebablette, so a Kebabling will complete the set. It's bad enough being ganged up on by the Kebabling and Mrs K. Having three girls inthe house against poor little me will push me over the edge.

Off to Wolves also. Best of luck with the theory test too (but it's a piece of piss really)

Tonight it's Opera from the Met in New York screened live at Cineworld in the Valley. Donizetti's Don Pasquale - a totally new one on me. Nearly four hours long - so better be good. Only a tenner. Really, really looking forward to it. A little curry at Spice Valley after - and good news from Molineux if it happens would make it a second perfect Saturday.

[clapton is god]

My evenings entertainment is a little more low-brow than yours Will, but it cost just a tenner too.

The Houghton Weavers in concert at St Josephs Hall Leigh. Looking forwards to it too!

The deepest impact will be on much smaller voluntary-sector projects that engage and involve local people in the arts.

So, the funding cuts will have the "deepest impact" on a sector of volunteers? Ergo: those that do it for nowt? Go on!

Explain it to the dumb then.

Does it include those that heed their calling on the grounds that the price is right and that the sundry perks appeal?

the clue is in your swapping out of the phrase "voluntary sector" and replacing it with "sector of volunteers" - which is rib-ticklingly hilarious (and also - to coin a phrase - staggeringly dense).

No explanation then? As expected. You'll be making out that God, without doubt exists, next.

I don't believe you are as dense as you make out - but you have somehow confused "voluntary sector" with a cluster of organisations that needs no funding to operate.

You do the dense-act quite well though - I'll give you that much - maybe your trips to the Octagon are rubbing off on you?

(I see you've dipped into Tango's startlingly original bag of vicar put-downs too - wise move!)

Err, no - not tonight. You?

you're very welcome - and it was entirely voluntary.

I'm not going out - no - I have just downed a half-bottle of your namesake brew along with pie, chips and gravy... I am wrestling with converting some video files to embed in a powerpoint for tomorrow morning's remembrance Sunday service - I'm not sure sure the wine has helped.... then I might give TWSpy a nudge - and then wander into the sitting room in time for MOTD and the other half of the bottle...

(or... I might just nod off! A wild and extravagant blur, my saturday nights!)

Well - Live from the Met in HD, on a nice big screen in the Valley, and with a very good - if not perfect - sound system... And I was in opera wonderland, including a slightly large lady singing like angels dare not do for fear they fail to please the Lord...

Seriously, this was a wonderful night, much, much better than I anticipated... not the 3 hours 50 advertised, but about 3 hours 20, which seems more reasonable to me, and includes lots of backstage stuff...

Since the cheapest opera ticket in UK is a min of £20 - and few of us will ever get the chance to see the New York Met in actual live performance - this is a bargain at a tenner... It's a live season... There are 9 more operas, some of the greatest... The next is Verdi's Don Carlo, a revolutionary opera of inordinate length which may not be for beginners, but is fantastic (the third opera I ever saw, the first was enough to convince me I wanted to add this to my life - that production, inc intervals was 6 hours long - i walked out of the Manchester night zinging...).

So, opera lovers - I know there are some here... Don't hesitate, this is stunning stuff... I, partner and friends will be catching every one, and it is almost certainly coming to a cinema near you soon... i think Don Carlo is Dec 11...

Oh, wow, did they sing... was it beautiful...
