The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

The Naked Rambler might be behind bars for a while (is he made to wear clothes in prison, I wonder?) but there are some similarly nude walkers still out there. A colleague did a sponsored charity walk this weekend and a naked rambler was spotted following the route. He was by all accounts a very jolly chap. A Scout leader was forewarned of his nakedness so that she could divert her troupe of little scouts to an alternative route, possibly more for his sake than theirs, as kids these days all have iPhones don't they and would probably have videos on YouTube within seconds. It really does make me wonder, though, how these nude walkers cope with the risks of all-over-sunburn/chilly bits/chafing. Gluttons for punishment.

In other news, I went to the National Theatre again last night to see Strange Interlude. It was a very long play (>3 hours), possibly because there was a lot of repetition. I can't really say that I liked it all that much as a play (too much going over the same ground again and again, very predictable and lots of cringe-worthy emoting). There were also some rather dubious American accents. But the staging was great with good use being made of the revolving floor to execute speedy set changes - at one point the whole stage turned into a yacht that came rushing out towards us!

That is all my news.
