  1. Any Dream Will Do

    November 25, 2007 by dafyd

    Laura and I went to see the new London revival (ah – an oxymoron) of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last Friday. It was the Children in Need gala performance, with all ticket proceeds going to charity – it was also the only show before February that still had tickets…

    It was pretty awesome (Lee Mead is a most excellent Joseph) – and this post is really to prompt me to blog about it more at some point in the not-too-distant future, as soon as I’ve got my uni work out of the way…

  2. Unfit for Purpose. Sound familiar?

    November 20, 2007 by dafyd

    In the old days, a minister would resign when his department “lost” 25 million sets of names, National Insurance numbers, bank account details…

    Perhaps Alistair Darling should go and join David Miliband on the naughty step:

  3. Diamond wedding

    November 19, 2007 by dafyd

    I came across this photo of the Wedding Register for the Queen and Prince Phillip’s wedding, 60 years ago:

    I can’t quite make out the bride’s occupation (I think it says “Princess”, which would make sense)… but her father undoubtedly has the best occupation ever…!

  5. 30 Rock

    November 8, 2007 by dafyd

    Tonight’s episode of 30 Rock, on five at 10.50, is possibly the funniest piece of television I’ve seen in the last year. Watch it. Or feel forever that you’ve missed a little piece of something.

    Snapple is awesome. That is all.
