It has come to attention that I have been using the word, cunt, a lot more than ever before. It's not very ladylike, is it? It could be that I have used the word fuck so much it has become meaningless in my vocabulary or maybe it's just that I have met a lot of cunts recently.

Last night I went to see a screening of Mo at Bafta with a Q & A with the creative team afterwards.
I urge everyone to see this when it comes on Channel 4.It is an extremely emotive piece of film-making documenting a slice of the life of that rarest of things, a popular politician. But it is much much more than that: It is a window on her personality, her personal life and most importantly the bravery with which she dealt with her terminal brain tumour. Julie Walters does not disappoint.
The Q & A unfortunately did.
The interviewer seemed to ask badly researched, inappropriate and embarrassing questions which the team struggled to answer. In short it was cringeworthy for all involved.
I sat behind Neil Kinnock who started the vigorous round of applause as the piece ended, but then promptly left before the Q & A.

Popcorn Comedy on Friday with a rare appearance by Graham Linehan. Oh, and also Dave Hill at the Hen and Chicks tomorrow. Very exciting!
