HIGNFY

I saw it filmed last night!
It wasn't as awsome as I thought it would be but I suppose I'm used to the fully polished version that appears on the telly. It was an experience and, as I don't have a telly at the moment, it was good to see the show again!
I won't retell the jokes as I probably wouldn't do them justice and I'm sure it would infringe the terms and conditions of my entry. But Paul Merton said we were a sarcastic audience (highly complimentry coming from the king of sarcastic comments) and commended out ability to take the piss out of the panalists without resorting to heckling. It was also the first time they'd recieved a standing ovation.
I went with Miranda who's an old frind-I'm talking nearly 15 years or so. We were in a band together in our early teens, she's continued in music more than onyone else in Caddis Flae, which is probaly best as she was the only one of us that had or has any musical talent.
You know how when you meet old friends that you haven't seen in years you usually reminisce over old times, discuss mutual friends then the conversation dries up and you make an obvious effort to rekindle some commonality? Well it wasn't like that at all. We had a slight bitch about a mutual 'friend' that we've both fallen out with then talked about our current lives and all the happenings there of. We gave advice, laughed, made comparisons, ate, drank, chatted and resloved to meet again in a fortnights time. She even shocked me a few times. Oh, how the worm has turned!
I think we have more in common now than we did 'back in the day.'
I think I'll enjoy making these meetings a more regular occurance, so let's drink to old friendships that reanimate effortlessly and bloom fuller and more brightly than they could have been before.
