The UN Inspector

Hello all,

Today, I had YAC (as I do every saturday) and we had a read through of the play, just sitting down. I've come to the conclusion that it's a very funny play, with lots of interesting irony (inc. dramatic irony) and great one liners like 'Get the mob and throw them in prison! There's space now I've realised all the rapists'. If you're available over Christmas, I recommend you come and see it, since it'd be a good laugh and it would nice to have some support.

In a nutshell, it's a corrupt Russian Government that have been fairly busy lining their own pocket with huge sums of money, rigging elections, and the Ministers have been doing all sorts of corrupt activities, like using the yet unopened (because they have no money) hospital as a film set for a popular soap and beating up those who oppose the government. They get word that a UN Inspector is due to arrive to check how they are running the country. Peter Robchinski and Peter Dobchinksi, two aides of the President, find a 'smart' looking man in a Marriott Hotel, believing him to be the UN Inspector, and immediately the President begins to spend tens of thousands of pounds on this over-the-top, arrogant Estate Agent called Martin Gammon.

Everything goes a bit balls-up. But it's very funny, so I recommend you come, see and enjoy.

I'm trying to write a blog post a day, since I do enjoy it, and I thought it would be interesting to write about the play in case anyone was tempted to come and see it.

Rekindling.

Hello all,

Rekindling is the theme of this. After all, I've just spent one of the most wonderful evening. The ol' crew! No bitching, no competition, no stupid stuff. How brilliant is that?!

Eitherway, thinking of bringing that back reminded me of the blogging craze, which I shall now 'rekindle'.

Anyway, this evening. It was brilliant. Everyone was really getting on, we had the pool (nice and warm, apart from the DAMN HOSE) and we were having a great laugh. There are plenty of photos on facebook obviously, the inevitable result of girl + camera, but hey, so what, we had a great night. There was no horrible stuff, no need to make an impression, no little snippets of favouritism. I mean, being honest, our friendship group's sort of bothering me at the moment. I have the wonderful Helen, of course, and Alex and Jamie who I couldn't live without. And...the others in the group, I think they like me, but in their own way. And that way gives the impression that really, they don't care about me in the slightest. There's so much, that's better than me, like being funny, or attractive, or brilliantly sporty, or just interesting. And it was starting to get to me lately, making me feel a bit down, until after tonight, when I realised I have plenty of friends. I even worried about one particular person, who tonight proved that we are, and can be very good friends. It was a great laugh, in particular mine & Jamie's YAC penguin warm up.

It was a truly brilliant evening :)

Well, this writing has been pretty bad. But it's been a while.

I need to post more.
