Slag... I tried to go last year, had tickets for me and my mates but they oversell the shows and we turned up
on time, which is actually far too late. Lame.
This review of Sex And The City 2 made me happy:

SATC2 takes everything that I hold dear as a woman and as a human—working hard, contributing to society, not being an entitled tnuc like it's my job—and rapes it to death with a stiletto that costs more than my car.
....
If this is what modern womanhood means, then just fucking veil me and sew up all my holes. Good night.

Through this website:
http://www.applausestore.com/applausest ... d=26&bid=3
I've been "on the books" for over a year, got an email a couple of months ago.
Decided to take my house mate for her birthday.
First time I've been to a proper TV studio. It's exactly how you'd expect it to be.
Though you really get a feel for just how much funny shit they edit out of the final broadcast production.

Thanks brosephine.
Only thing is, the Other Heights label guy just told me that somebody wanted to see those tunes on vinyl. Not actually sure if they'll get released.

We were in there about 2 and a half hours.
When the guests came on with Fry (before filming started) they had a proper funny little session for about 15 minutes.
Then at the end Fry had to do 3/4 lines again where they'd fucked up first time round.
I think about 1/4 of the material filmed isn't used. Which is a shame coz there were some people funny jokes being made that I doubt'll make it.
(especially one by Ruby Wax about Jews having horns under their little hats)

Sounds awesome. I always imagine they cut out loads of the better stuff.

Also, and I hate to sound like a stuck record but 3/4 of the audience were proper hot girls.
Like quite nice looking, smartly dressed.
Perhaps educated to degree-level.
The filthiest I find.

Exams ARREEE OVVEERRR!! Had sociology and biology back to back this morning but i don't think it went that badly. Biochem exam went alot better than i expected which was good. Funnily enough the part i found easiest was the biological molecules stuff which was what i was struggling with at first. Sociology exam paper was quite tricky, 3 essays to werite include one being a 20 mark essay on postal questionnaires!!

Cheers man! Hoping for an A for psychology as that went pretty well. Sociology i don't think i got an A for this exam but hoping i'm lucky enought to still get an A overall...and as for biology, i'd be really happy with a C aha.
