Apologies for going dark for the last week. Did you miss me?
For those who don’t know, I was in at the International Screenwriters’ Festival in the illustrious grounds of Cheltenham Ladies College. If those walls could talk. Just think of all the stories of lesbian experimentation…
10 Things I Learned This Week:
1. Cheltenham is a town made almost entirely of traffic lights.
2. Marc Price – the writer/director of ‘Colin’ – is The Nicest Man on Earth. Even when I was banging on to him about ‘Superman Returns’ at half two in the morning in the hotel bar.
3. Writers are to a man and woman, funny, intelligent, open, charming people. I feel I made a lot of new friends.
4. James Moran is also The Nicest Man on Earth. Even when, over dinner, a group of us came up the with meta-bromance ‘Being James Moran’ in which a man decides to become gay when he realises that he is the same size as James Moran and a relationship with him would mean he could double his wardrobe.
5. You see, the problem with ‘Superman Returns’ is that the action sequences are merely watching a man lift steadily heavier objects.
6. I get terribly homesick now and have missed the Better Half and Kids A – C so much I actually had to leave the festival early…
7. I can name the five largest cities in Texas (Actually, that came from the pub quiz I did last night rather than the festival. But I was so proud of myself, I thought I’d tell you all)
8. People like badges.
9. Eating in a TGI Friday’s on your own is the single saddest task a human being can undertake.
10. I very much enjoyed saying the word “knob” on the stage of Cheltenham Ladies College assembly hall.
Normal service will resume from now on.
