:: Fear and Loathing in South London ::

Only 8 days to go before the first performance of The Way We Live and I must admit I'm shitting myself. Whilst everyone else heads off to the pub this evening, I've got to put on my suit and go to a rehearsal...

Short and sweet is therefore a good way to describe today's post. I should apologise for not doing a write-up of Hypatia's party, but frankly I can't remember much of it due to inebriation. However, I did meet several of you, my "lucky" readers, and a self-asserting PB regular... wouldn't reveal his login though - spoilsport.

"Bashing" is the theme of today's links (I think you've probably guessed what directions we might be heading in here):

• Madge Bashing - fully deserved after her appalling comments about getting pished on half a pint of ale in the Dog & Duck in Soho.
• Queer Bashing - one of the best/worst websites on the net, by turns unintntionally hilarious and tragic. I pity these people. They certainly pity me (in a patronising Christian-fundamentalist way, of course)
• Kraut Bashing - Murdoch's dishrag's up to its usual tricks. Reminds of that bitch-article I wrote about Metro.
• Bishop Bashing - an obvious HEAD-line (geddit?) opportunity for the Brains Trust.
• Fasching Bashing - Fasching is a south German festival during Lent. It also rhymes with bashing...

I leave you with the news that the House of Lords is taking a while to "get with it". What a surprise.

Enjoy your weekend. I probably won't...
