Where are you going tonight?

[bobo the clown]

New York Met Opera live - in cineworld in the Valley.

Wagner's Gotterdammerung.

Started at 5.00 (Had to leave the reebok at 4.25) and finished at 10.45.

So, did you miss our 9 minutes domination of the game Will ?

That's some sacrifice for your art.

Yep.

Missed the goal by about a minute. Heard the roar just as I got out of the stadium.

Switched on the radio about ten mins later just in time for their winner.

but I'd watched more than an hour of dross before then...

I finally caught up with Alfie at the Octagon last night.

It's a fab production with a great central performance. The play still packs a punch - it's funny and disturbing.

Last week, I think. If you like theatre, go, you will enjoy.

Really? Shit. I'll have to let it pass by then

What's it all about ??






OK, I'm going. I'm going.

What's it all about ??

Whilst I was in the Octagon for this production, at just the perfect moment when Alfie went very quiet and you could have heard a pin drop as he looked around the audience, a member of the audience suddenly sang 'What's it all about, Alfeeee?' It brought the house down. Even Alfie laughed and then had a joke with the person who had sang out. A very funny and natural few seconds.

Off out to watch The Woman in Black, tonight. Anyone seen it? Any good?

Saw it at the Odeon, Trafford Centre just last night. The worst cinema crowd I have ever had the displeasure to sit amongst. People around us holding conversations, laughing, joking, shouting 'BOO!' at quiet tense moments, using their mobiles and one person some distance away from us even using an iPad! I was going to put a reference to this in the angry thread, because I bloody well was, but you can have it instead

As for the film, its standard fare for the genre, nothing startling but yeah, worth seeing.

You know that I'm going to completely miss the film now - sat there waiting accost the first person to even breathe too heavily for my liking!!!!

Seriously though, at Habeas Corpus at The Octagon they'd put these teenage schoolgirls by us that wouldn't shut up. I honestly wanted to stop the play so as to have them kicked out. Seriously infuriating.

Something for the diary:

It's one of his charmingly funny/poignant monologues, not stand-up, and it's very, very good.

Not seen the film yet as I've had a busy week, but as an aside I was taken to see the stage version when I was about 8 and it scared me shitless. Still left on edge by the sound of a horse and cart now.

Like Clapton said, Jimbo, the film's fine within its genre, probably better than most, even, but if you fancy seeing it it's deffo one to watch at the flicks for the full effect.

Got back from the Pegazus / Mortification Gig (Plus a third band but I didn't stay, it was my partners Birthday and all)

Put in Petrol before I left, after Cover Charge I had $10 ; There were CDs for $15!!!

The opening song for Pegazus was Bloody Awesome, checked it on youtube and the album version is not as great as it was live


I bought a Mortification Sticker and 4 badges, Then after Pegazus I went back to the car to get a Dollar and got a Patch; Got a sticker with it too!

I hope to put them on the Car!!!

Just reading the preamble that Th'Octagon have sent through about Macbeth.

Will this be a modern re-working, do we know?

funnily enough - had the same experience - crowd of teens talked in their corner all the way through... personally I was disappointed as the stage play is sooooooo much better - and I couldn't really get past young Potter - miscast - seemed way too young and fresh-faced for the part he was playing...

we went cos it is one of this year's GCSE books my daughter is studying... she was very dismissive!

the film... and - err.. the rest - she's a teenage girl - dismissive is the default response!

Tonight - Press night of Macbeth at the Octagon. Looking forward to this...

Be most interested to know how this goes, Will. Is it a modern re-working?

The text will be Shakespeare's, but if David Thacker runs true to habit it won'y be located in Elizabethan times - or, indeed, 13th Century Scotland.

will report...

In the meantime - big heads up for theatre lovers - I was in stratford last night for a brilliant new play - The Heresy of Love.

Michael Billington's review is very supportive, but I think a bit mean..

It may be that the production has gained strength since the press night. But this is very, very good...
