Hello again Possums (is it rude to steal someone else's greeting?)
Last Friday night our humble Chipping Norton Theatre was graced by the Genius that is Neil Innes. I know what you're thinking- who?- that's what I thought when my Dad said I could have the tickets. Turns out he is a big deal however, he even worked with the Pythons to do a lot of their music (he can be thanked for Brave Sir Robin). Basically my Dad gave me two tickets to see him because he couldn't go so I invited Davina along and he greatly amused us, I mean laugh-until-you-cry amusement! Definitely recommend it, the man really is a legend.
What particularly impressed me was his new social movement, Ego-Warriors, defending self-esteem and individualism. To join the movement just take seven minutes from your life to watch the little video which I shall hopefully manage to fix on to this blog in some way. Obviously it's much better live and perhaps a little more in context but I'm sure you'll get it. Also, I love the way that although he is very talented he isn't at all pompous and big-headed. Met him after the show and got him to sign something and he seems like a perfectly charming old (65 apparently) fellow.
See you soon chaps/chapettes
