Raise a stein
Thanks to the Adamski for getting an impressive plus 3 for the live multimedia happening, Frankenstein, broadcast on BBC 3 live from Kirkstall Abbey this weekend.For those of you who didn't see it, which would be all of you (key words 'BBC 3') it was a modern updating of the Frankenstein story, set in a society wedding that was being broadcast live on BBC 3 (you see what they did there?).
What's more, this being BBC 3, there was tweeting.
As an evening, it had everything - lovely scenery (gothic horror in a ruined abbey, what's not to like?), free wine (I was on a press pass, one toe in the lovely bubble), a shipping container (where the free wine was served), a view of the bubble within the bubble ('sorry mate, sponsors only'), celebrities (apparently, I didn't recognise anyone, but I'm old, so it's allowed) and artsy stuff.
Fantastic.
Thanks Adam. And BBC 3. And Mary Shelley - we couldn't have done it without you.

So, have they stopped trying to make out that Percy Bysshe Shelley, or the milkman, or any other man, wrote Frankenstein?
Percy Shelley was born in my charming home town of Horsham you know. We have a statue. It is, for reasons I have never fathomed, a large stone ball that sporadically shoots out water. Around the bottom there is a charming 'single teen mums and children scoffing McDonalds happy meals' motif.
WV: Undom - the act of removing a condom.
In the local dialect - "It were a right good do, with beer and crisp, and we paid nowt". (BBC)3 Cheers for Adamski!
