  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. In a rush on the Underground?

    Ski down the escalators, save yourself literally seconds…

    Kids, don’t try this at home. The British Transport Police says it is dangerous. Also dangerous: Nottingham tram surfing.

  3. Archer

    March 22, 2007 by dafyd

    Yesterday I toddled off on a jaunty saunter down to London (well, it would have been even jollier if Midland Mainline were able to display even the slightest hint of competence).

    As always (just ‘cos it’s something I always do), I headed off to Waterstone’s Picadilly. And who should follow me through the front doors? None other than everyone’s favourite convicted perjurer. Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare was launching his new “novel”, a fictional retelling of the events of the New Testament according to Judas Iscariot, and was doing a short signing and television interviews in the store.

    More 4 News was there, too.

    I’ve spent the last 24 hours trying to work out a joke about Archer, the Bible, and Judas… but I thinkthat pretty much it doesn’t need anything doing to it..

  4. Give over, already

    July 21, 2005 by dafyd

    What on Earth do these people think they are going to achieve?

    London has been through a lot over the past few decades.

    The Luftwaffe didn’t succeed.

    The IRA hasn’t succeeded (yet).

    What response do they honestly expect to get? If anything, I’d say that the fact that they felt the need to have a second go shows that the first attempt didn’t work.

    So give up.
