So, anyone else seen the new BBC HD ad, with Antiques Roadshow? And more to the point, Fiona Bruce? Chapman just came.

If you want!

I just got out of the shower though. All wet, but sparkerly clean.

Um - is there nobody going to correct that?

We've just had some rehearsals for our New Writing Night on 31 May.

It's slowly coming together and we do have some bloody good actors.

Watch out for Stephanie Nielson, Louisa Ashton, Jack Bowman and Michael Coghlan.

Tickets are now on sale from Charles Cryer Theatre box office.

(No apologies for shameless plugs)

If you're referring to 'sparkly', my spelling was entirely intentional.

Anyone else terribly bored of this Burma stuff now?

Aaron!! That's a terrible thing to say.

Oh god, I'm so bored that I just read the football thread.

F**k me... that is boredom!!

Why? "I'm glad that those f**king dirty darky bastards are dying" is a terrible thing to say. Stating boredom isn't!

Where exactly is Burma anyway?

You can tell I've really been watching the news lately...

It's near Thailand.

Thanks Ellie.

Kind of, a bit to the right of India, and a bit to the left of Thailand. I think.

Google Map

All I know is that 'Burma' is one of those what-we-called-it-when-it-was-ours names.

Again, I think.

It was never ours, you can't own a country.

I'll just share my pain. I turned my TV, and it was tuned onto Bravo.

There was clown porn, that's porn with clowns. Ugly clowns having, kinky sex.

I may need new retinas.

Sympathy please.

n.b. it was on Bravo as I was wathcing the A team earlier.

Incorrect!

Aah now I see, I always looked at empires as more extreme form of borrowing.

Only 'cos we've been giving them back. Otherwise it would just be plain owning.
