Gongs

Mutterings continued.

The Queen has seen fit to gong Willard White, opera singer who played Othello in the RSC production (Ian McK as Iago). John Hurt and Patricia Routledge have OBEs (Other Bugger's Efforts).

L and R came over for dinner and DVDs on Saturday. Yum pasta, yum banana and chocolate cake from Miss Mauds and The Muppets (Bob Hope, who was surprisingly good), fourth last Firefly and MST3K Teenage Caveman (with a decidedly NOT teenaged Robert Vaughan). "Illya? Mr Waverley??"

Unhappy times in the West End. "London's West End is in despair and questioning its role after a series of expensive flops."
