On This Day: 20th May

A day of contrasting experiences at the theatre on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2015

I've hated musical films for as long as I can remember - all thigh-slapping gusto and ludicrously overt smiling and screwball choreography. No, I wanted realism and emotional depth.
But, since I started going to the theatre regularly, I've come to appreciate that there is a place for stories told through music and they're not all madcap song and dance fests.
However, Oklahoma! was surely a perfect example of all the things I hated about 'traditional' musicals but I thought I should at least give it a chance. It wasn't overly expensive and I really should base any opinion I have on fact, so I handed over the money and went along to the Theatre Royal Bath.
Somewhat annoyingly, I did actually rather enjoy it! The characters were believable, the story arc made sense and the whole production was very polished. Sure, the songs were cheesy, but once I settled into the rhythm of the thing I did find myself smiling along with the rest of the audience and quite enjoying it.
For sure it's still not the sort of thing I would rush out to see but as a fun and entertaining way to spend a couple of hours ... oh, why not! 😀


in 2017

They had been running for years but I had somehow not realised what the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Directors' Cuts season was about. It wasn't until 2017 that I recognised what I had been missing out on! I could, perhaps, have chosen a simpler and more explicable production than I Am The Wind at the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol for my first experience of a Directors' Cut.
A mysterious Norwegian play with just two characters, The One and The Other, on a boat looking inside themselves and out at the sea around them trying to come to some sort of philosophical comprehension. Often talking to themselves rather than each other, we are never quite sure why they are there or what their relationship is.
I can't tell you what it was actually about, or what conclusion was reached (if any!) but I loved the way ideas were played with; as words, and silences, were used to precise effect that kept me enthralled throughout.
As much as I enjoy being uplifted by joyous shows, or simply amused and entertained for an evening, I really love watching plays about ideas, and existence, or simply the beauty of language as it expresses human emotions. This was certainly one of the latter, a rewarding, if baffling, experience.

Am I A 'YouTuber' Now?

So, this was a post I wrote back in October 2020 but, for some reason never quite finished or published it...🤔 The situation has escalated somewhat since then, in August 2023 my little hobby channel had acquired an astonishing 2,500 subscribers!  I wonder if my musings of three years ago are still valid (I have made some minor edits to the original draft for spelling and grammar) ... Well, it was just a little hobby, to share the fun I was having with my Sims 3 stories and now I've reached the first big 'proper YouTuber' milestone ... 1,000 subscribers!! In December 2015 I uploaded my first ever gameplay video, "Slade Dynasty Chronicles Intro : Sims 3 Lets Play" As ropey as it was, I think I was actually using just the microphone on my cheap-as-chips headset, I actually enjoyed the process of creating videos and the very kind Sims 3 community were encouraging in their support. I experimented with other games and types of video, trying to work out what I most

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: Audi TT Mk1 Rebuild

  Barn Find I've suspended my CMS21 series for the time being, it may return for occasional one-off specials or if enough viewers demand it! So, while I'm still playing and enjoying the game I thought I would continue to share some of my favourite jobs with you, at least in pictorial form. Thus first one is an Audi TT Mk1 that I found in a barn. The vehicle is a mod created by Bostonawy and includes some wonderful livery choices, as you'll see at the end of this post. So, this is the car I brought back to my Numpty The Car Fixer garage:   As you can see it's in pretty good condition, well, apart from the mechanicals!  For such a quality brand, and at less than £14,000, I was happy to take away this sporty little number as a restoration project. Apart from the accumulated dirt and dust, the body was generally in good shape. For this job, I didn't go overboard on performance, just some tweaking of the ignition and fuel systems but I made sure that some key compone
