Where are you going tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Darwin Day lecture woo!
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Was fab. Lovely talk given by a brilliant speaker (Eugenie Scott) about what Darwin would say to modern day creationists. Introduced by Dawkins after a hymn by the British Humanist Association Choir (who are ACE) did a song based on the last few lines of The Origin of Species ("from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved").

Sat one row behind, and two or three seats to the side of Dawkins, who was chairing the lecture. Whole thing was capped by the knowledge that Dawkins has nuts teenage girl one-direction style fans. We were swamped going the other way as we left as they came clattering down to see him. Friend who works in TV interviewed one who was Beatlemania-style swooning. Was surreal, but funny.

We liberated a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Darwin and took him home on the tube, getting the lift down to Russell Sq tube station to sing happy birthday to him, which was beautiful. Lovely evening where it's good to be alive.

The Count tonight at the Lowry for the 'Somebody up there licks me' tour. Should be excellent, reviews so far really good, and the current TV show has exceeded all expectations.

Middle class theft by immature aspirational is excused as "just a bit of fun" .... how very rugby union of you.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
"I understand you are a very good footballer" ... "I try".

Brucie knows it wasn't me, as there were no reports of "the self-aggrandising, over-opinionated, tedious, irritating, excruciating c*nt" getting lamped...

So, last night, something that I've been looking forward to for ages. Paddy Considine's band playing in a brewery. The ale was shit but nowhere near as bad as the band, or more particularly the sound. First gig that I've ever walked out of in my life.
