Racing through Tim Curry's autobiography and his opinions on Andrew Lloyd Webber are savage 👀

Andrew is an extremely clever man and has also had the very good sense to work with some extraordinary directors and producers. But I don't have great deal of feeling for his music—I prefer more personal tunes that are of our time and don't strike a derivative tone.

Have a sinking feeling I may have reached reading glasses age. Not sure if it's worth getting varifocals as I've heard they're a bit of a nightmare for computer use, anyone who uses them got any advice?

Tonight taught me I can remember the name of the mole (David Buxton) in seminal early-00s Channel 5 game show The Mole but supposedly formative shit like seeing Alan Bennett live has fallen straight out of my brain.

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

Everyone in Surrey is very shiny. Lewisham folk aren't this shiny. Is it the sheen of inherited wealth?

Himself bought a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with zero prompting, might be a keeper
