On This Day: 5th May

It appears that I like to spend the 5th of May in Bath, for example on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2001

At the Theatre Royal Bath to see Rent for the third, and so far final, time.
This was mostly a new cast and the key character was played by, then hot TV property, Adam Rickitt coming straight from the famous cobbles of Coronation Street.
There are good songs throughout and some powerful and affecting scenes but these don't necessarily feature the lead character. Having a popularly recognisable name on the poster is great for getting people into the theatre, they're not always the best actors in the cast. So, as with Joe McFadden in the earlier London production,Adam was fine and did a perfectly respectable job but it was scenes with the other characters that you remember.

Interesting side note; one of the swings on this production was Daniel Boys in, I believe, his first professional role. I've seen him again perhaps only twice but he is now one of our busiest and most reliable musical stage actors.

in 2012

The imbalance of power and, more importantly, the presumption of having it, was at the heart of In A Garden, which I saw at the Ustinov Studio.
An up-and-coming American architect is contracted to create a dream garden space for a minister in a middle east dictatorship.
The balance of power between the two men mirrored the power balance between their respective countries and although, to be honest, I don't recall how it ended, I don't believe the mighty all-conquering dollar came out of it very well. 


in 2016

Once again at the Theatre Royal Bath for Brideshead Revisited.
Watching aristocratic soul-searching can be entertaining and sometimes even help us understand what was (still is?) wrong with our country but it is, at the end of the day little more than a trifling diversion.
As entertaining and capable production as this was, beautiful young men endure the slings and arrows of outrageous privilege and familial expectation, it didn't tell me anything new or useful.

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...
