The Nowe Showe
So, to London towne laste niyt to attend a performance of "Ye Nowe Showwe" with feymouse performers Ser Punt and Lord Dennis. A last minute decision on my parte, fortunately [info]Lord Michayl had a contacte with a spayre tickete. Met this Sir Christopher at Goodge Streyt, and also the lovely ladye [info]Clayr, it was good to once agayn make her acquiantance.

So, onto the showe. At the entrance, met other friends of the good Christopher, including one [info]Bo Peepe Sheyp, mistress of this fine establishment but previously unknown to me; it was good indeede to finally meet her. We entereyd the coffee house ferst in the lyne and took seets arownd a teybel and had a most convicial conversaytion about manye thinges. It became apparant that one of Sir Christopher's friends, whose name now escpes me, is an experte in the fine arte of naym dropping, I had not the heart to telle him we cared not. After awhile, the theatre itself was readye, and we entered to find seyts.

Ferst was a younge ladye scandalously atired in trowsers! She mayde some announcements and asked us to compleat a peace of paper in whych they sought ower jokes as a contribution. Then, the mayn performance started, and the famous duo caym onto the stayge. They were indeed most amusing, but I was surprised that the Lord Chamberlains's men had not shut themme downe and hadde them arrested, some of the humoure was most scandalous and notte very nice about our fayr government. They also made a number of jokes regarding an individual knowne as "Geourge Bushe", an unknowne to me, I gather he is of some faym and importance in the colonies, it is to be hoped that her majesty sees fit to dismiss him fromme offyc forthwyth if his incompetence is as they portrayed. They also had a musical turne in the forme of one Mitch Benne, a moste amusing syngerre who performed songes of a topycal nature. Apparently, welle knowne touring bande Moterheyd are evenne sponsoringe a child's footeball teame such is theyr successe, and he sunge us a song aboute this news. I wishe the younge playeres well in their endeavoures.

Aftere the showe we were unfortunately required to separayt our wayes as manye had othere appointmentes. So, havyng notte been in towne recently I tooke the opportunity to walk the environs, and was reminded how proude we should be to have London as our fair capitol and most importante citye in the worlde.

And thene to return to Lord Michayls and to bedde, a tired but happye man.


And writing that was hard work, hope it's the sort of thing you're looking for, was indeed a good evening.

Well, I'm supposed to be finishing unpacking, shopping and doing some laundry. I am infact DLing Torchwood episodes as the odds of me paying any more money to watch it is minimal.

Never did write the Warre on Chrystmass/ Puritan Correctness gonne madde!" post for this place, that was going to be silly...

Silly is good! You can always save it for next year ;)

I gave up on Crotchwoot about half way through the series.

To do laundry would you have to go to the launderette, or does it merely involve sticking things in the machine? I ask simply to gauge the level of work involved ;)

There's a machine downstairs, but it's a bit dodgy, and the dryer appears faulty, so I'd need to leave stuff hung out, probably in the room for a bit.

But yeah, I love the idea of the show, and it has its fangirls all over Jack, but ultimately it's a show whose target audience is fandom, right down to retcon as a specific plot point; bloody stupid...

It COULD have been so good, and the fact that it wasn't drove me into a frothing rage LOL but then I was never a big Jack fangirl.

Don't risk your many Therapy? t-shirts to a dodgy dryer! They're too important! ;)

Heh, I've only got three, and one of them is more battered than a battered thing that's been battered. I even fell down a (small) cliff in it once; that was fun...

I suspect it's not quite as battered as my ancient glow-in-the-dark alchemy gothic one (I was SO annoyed that when I finally decided I'd better replace it to discover that they'd stopped making them about five years before); although I haven't fallen down a cliff in that, I HAVE given birth in it.

Ok, yeah, that sort of wins for uses of a favourite T. My mother disposed of one of my favourites, or at least I never got it back; the Sisters "Fuck me and marry me young" shirt; she never did like it.

And of course I can't really explain to her why it has a few specific memories...

My mum threw away my RATM one; but not before I wore it to Speech Day after leaving school to collect my school prize (for General Studies, of all things). It was much fun walking up to collect my book tokens with my back to the entire school, displaying the legend "fuck you I won't do what you tell me". The headmaster didn't see it until I walked off after taking the money and shaking his hand...

Mwahahahahahaha

That's mean and nasty. And at such a posh school too ;-)

We didn't do prizes at my school, strange really, given how stuffy the head was; he thought he was running something as good as Eton, although the results disagreed...

Well, really, what sort of fool gave ME a school prize? LOL

* still proud holder of the record for most detentions given to one student in one year *

* and the shot putt *

Oddly, I still get begged by all my old teachers to go to the Old Boys' dinner (it was a boys only school until three years before I went).

Didn't get detentions much either. I think I would've got 'most late essays' and probably 'switched courses most often'.

My maths teacher said at the leaving party they always had that the smartest two kids in the year were also the laziest; me and my best friend. We used to sit in the back in Chemistry figuring out how to make noxious gases just because we were bored, neither of us got any results worth having...

I think that's with you being male, you see. I used to do all that stuff but I generally managed to pull it out of the hat in the exam hall. It used to really annoy them, that, actually. But I would have felt bad about wasting my mum's money if I hadn't got some halfway decent results.

I used to mainly get detentions for "being cheeky"

O:-)

Stop bloody crashing!

Ah, see, my exams were always fine; it was the compulsory coursework that counted that always let me down.

What you listening to (or trying to)?
