that one where we all ended up having dinner @ the bunch of grapes and going for a walk by the canal and fitting into a phone box
Toby says:
Oh yes, that was a good one. Shall I call it that, or the Orchestra Crash?
Mathematics is Sex says:
oh, yeah, i'd forgotten about that bit

Steph's appendix (not literally)
- There wasn't an Easter matinee. There was only one concert, which was sold out weeks before. I still managed to get a ticket for my mother, though, basically by begging the lady at the box office to put me at the top of the reserve list, even though there were plenty of people ahead of me.

Yes, but, as we've now discussed, the New Year Matinee concert was in 2005, hence the replacement you see before you. T

- Having 10 cricket moments is unfair. But only because you saw more live cricket than I did.
Sometimes it's hard to watch that much cricket...

- I was going to write a Top Five of Shit Films myself, but then I realised I'd only been to see three genuinely terrible films last year, which were The Village, Wimbledon and The Phantom of the Opera (which I'll admit was awful, but I still loved it anyway).

- Is that Laura Gumbley or Laura Gumbley?
Both
