'I've had enough, d'you understand?...You want to go to the Moon?...Well go! But without me! I;m going home to Marlinspike!...and you can go on acting the goat here for as long as you like!'
It's Mrs Monpot's birthday in a week or so. She keeps going on about how much she wants to go see a show at our swanky new not-an-opera house that is the Welsh Millenium Center. So, I heard that Edward Scisorhands ballet is coming to town, and I thought "well that'd make a nice prezzie" -tickets are Forty-bloody-Quid! £40! I was outraged.
Yes, it's a play, cost me £25 a ticket. Gotta be worth it. I'm going to see Edward Scissorhands too. AND I saw the Nutcracker on NYE. I'm fucking cultured.
but I mute the adverts, and stick my hands over my eyes untill my housemate says "it's safe to come out now".
Serious though, forty quid a ticket! I never really go to the theatre or anything like that, is my outrage justified? I could buy a ticket to Truck-fest for that price.
monster truck show, held once yearly at the east of england showground in Peterborough? Or the vastly inferior 'so cool we're in a non-corporate-field' indie snoozefest?
Mrs thewarn bought me a ticket to ed scizz. I'm hoping I don't have to pay for it.
The last time I went, Bepe from Eastenders arrived in a helicopter and the Proclaimers were there. Best day of the year. Especially when Craig Proclaimer ran over Bepe in WOLFTRUCK III.

Is that a play then? Is it expensive?

And the WMC says it isn't elitist!
To be precise
Gangsters! Road hogs! Mountebanks! Steamrollers! Nyctalops! Parasites!
Yes, it's a play, cost me £25 a ticket. Gotta be worth it. I'm going to see Edward Scissorhands too. AND I saw the Nutcracker on NYE. I'm fucking cultured.
Lah-Dee-Dah!
Fuck yeah!
I'm so cultured I don't even watch ITV.
I do
but I mute the adverts, and stick my hands over my eyes untill my housemate says "it's safe to come out now".

Do you mean the wonderful
monster truck show, held once yearly at the east of england showground in Peterborough? Or the vastly inferior 'so cool we're in a non-corporate-field' indie snoozefest?
Mrs thewarn bought me a ticket to ed scizz. I'm hoping I don't have to pay for it.
Of course I'm on about Peterborough
Will Truck-o-Saurus be there this year, will he?
I hope so.
The last time I went, Bepe from Eastenders arrived in a helicopter and the Proclaimers were there. Best day of the year. Especially when Craig Proclaimer ran over Bepe in WOLFTRUCK III.

And I saw him once in Plymouth airport.

I got bought
Tintin in the Congo for Christmas.
He kills a monkey, skins it, and dresses himself in the monkeys skin to catch other monkeys. Incredible.
I remember
watching a video of Prisoners Of The Sun when I was about 8. It was totally ace and had endless Peruvian panflute music!
I don't remember "Tintin and the Soviets"
Blistering Bolsheviks!
