Of scary-marys and mongrel men

Bit unusual for me doing a blog entry for Saturday tea-time but I don't have access to a networked PC since we're broadbandless. So using the University's student facilities to check email, ebay etc.

Whilst Kerry gets her hair done in London, I put myself through (back)pain and boredom to do a small car boot sale at some local school. Bit disappointing turn-out and the local mongrel men and scary-marys weren't expecting top quality products. Maybe the handbags and designer label jeans didn't go with the target audience. The table value was a least ten times as much as both neighbours and in 2 and half hours I made just £30 profit.
Brighton news: Yesterday I found an advert on Gumtree for a 2 month flat rent. It's a sublet whilst the tennant goes for a long holiday in a tipi up the road. Should be seeing it tomorrow.

After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
