Finally got a handle on social events in London, but having a devil of a time organising people to go with. Partially due to my obscure tastes. Partially due to mostly everyone else sensibly existing in couples and my speculative +1 ticket doesn’t fit.
Went to see Robin Ince last week and he was clever, unexpectedly shouty and good. If you like science, then you will like Robin. That is my hypothesis.
Danny Wallace came along to join the hardcore audience, a good sign.
On Friday went to see Armando Iannucci and Mark Thomas doing some talking with their mouths about censorship, which was very funny. I had just rewatched the Armando Iannucci Shows from 2001 though so when he reused old material, I KNEW. Lazy Jock.
Got lightly crisped in Hyde Park on Saturday watching some men on bicycles. Touring France or something.
More comedy tonight, and then relaxment with Joan As Police Woman tomorrow.
And finally since I ordered the XPS my life has become an xkcd comic.

That computo-machine advertises itself by boasting ‘maximum bling’. Filth.
You can almost smell the hideous whitey ad people rolling into their McG-filmed office in their ‘anything but cute’ losermobiles and spunking out that lazy middleaged slogan over each other, their contemptuous smiles confirming to each other that they are each 110% sure that the ‘masses’ will lap it up (both the slogan and the spunk).
Armando Iannucci is good, though. I like the skit aboot running past folk playing fitba.

XPS – That is the ugliest hunk of plastic i’ve ever laid eyes on. It offends me. Wince.
