Well, that's about one hour of jury service I've done in a week. Still, when that means plenty of time to sit around reading and two hour lunch breaks in the heart of the world's finest city, who am I to complain? And without giving too much away, that one hour was beyond farcical.
Hopefully I shall get to enforce EXTREME JUSTICE on some peons next week.

In other news: goat's cheese bun type things, Philip Jeays in a venue that feels like it's about to do a Titanic, the film of de Sade's Justine and Order of the Phoenix are all jewels in the world's crown.
The landlord deciding to retile the shower at 830am so you have to go out feeling dirty (spelt with one 'r' ie not in a good way) is less so.

Everyone going to Vichy tonight, then?

Another missed Philip Jeays jig. When will I ever learn?

Hey! As I left work yestereve my boss remarked that I loooked like "that chap that used to run around with Diana Rigg". I have mentally chalked up another point for John steed, and rubbed out quite a few for Willy Wonka.

In fairness, being in Italy is a pretty solid excuse.
Are you sure your boss wasn't thinking of George Lazenby?

George Lazenby doesnea look anything like me. Mid you, I say that, and I also say that Gene Wilder looks nothing like me, but will people listen (or USE THEIR EYES)?

Chevre blanc is one of the best cheeses in the world. Here is an recipe;
1 x short fat squat aubergine
1 x beef tomato (as big and red as you can find
1 x 3cm of goat's cheese log.
Some fresh basil.

Cut 3x1cm slices of aubergine across its (huhhum) girth. Put a bit of salt on the slices to draw out excess moisture, and leave em for a bit. The drying out bit is optional, depending on the moisture of the aub. Fry the abergine in olive oil. Fry 'em till the aborb the olive oil, and go a bit brown. Cut 3x1cm slices of smato. Put the aubergine on a baking tray. Put the tomato slices on top of them. Tear up some basil and plonk 'em on the tomatoes. Cut the goats cheese log (careful now) into 3 slices and put the on top of the smato and basil. Bake the things until the cheese gets some brown bits. Eat fud.

I very nearly bought Avengers DVDs yesterday in the HMV sale, but decided against because there was too wide a choice, and I am really too skint for such foolishness.

Goats cheese: Don't understand it. Cow cheese good. Goats cheese odd, and sweaty.

It needs to be done right, granted. In this instance, it was.
Good club you have there, btw. Is a July date confirmed yet?
And also, in 'small world' news, I hear you know Chris James?

Why, thank you. Was pleased to have your custom.

July, no, we're doing Gorkys show, which is consuming plenty mental energy. Next one is August 22nd, Soul Mole Summer. It's on Reading Weekend, which is either

a) An excellent ploy to get all the bored-with-indie types down or more likely

b) Commercial suicide.

Chris James? Hmmm. Doesn't ring a bell. What does he do?

Works at the Royal Court and conforms to the 1930s stereotype of a homosexual, mainly. Top bloke. You know at the first bonving, when there were two picnics in Regents Park and you were mainly at the one where I wasn't? Apparently he was at that one too.
Wow, that made no sense whatsoever.

Having looked into this, it seems you are correct, and he was there. It was the first time I've met him. Seems a nice sort. He's a friend of a flatmate of a friend.

that's my blinkin birthday!
