I haven't been reading "The Idler", but I have seen its crap map. More non-idling has also revealed to me that I was at the last day of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the live musical version) with Brian Blessed in the role of Baron Bomburst. Since my reason for going to see it was largely focused on the man himself, whose voice I've made it my new year's resolution to impersonate, I think I timed that well!
