Re: Appearing Cheltenham Festival
First Tim Minchin had to cancel his show there, now Ben's there and it's sold out and I'm also booked up for that date. This festival does not like me!

Re: Appearing Cheltenham Festival
There are some nice literary festivals in Germany as well. And the weather's not too bad at the moment. Give it a try, Ben

Some further information from moi...
Martin Tyrrell- Head of Drama at Harrow.
When I read 'the World' I hear Douglas Richardson's voice in my head.
Favourite composer ...Irene's in with a shout there and perhaps the German members of the forum.
The dream bit...anyone up for a bit of foreign language teaching? Of course for many of you it isn't a foreign language it's your mother tongue and English is a foreign language.
My bed...this means Ben's bed not my bed, you understand.

Naughty girl. No one would come up with such an idea 
.
Er, as for the foreign language bit - always at Ben's service. Dreaming in German can be quite sexy.

You mean you were one of the 10,000 who got one of the 15o tix? Brilliant!!
Hey, what about creating a Board shirt or banner for such encounters - just wondering as I will be meeting him in New Zealand later this year too?

Re: Appearing Cheltenham Festival
Hey, SH. I would love a lift to the festival. Pick me up in Canberra next weekend and we can drive back through Asia and Europe. Might have to avoid Afghanistan and parts of the Middle East, though. I'll supply snacks and Vegemite sandwiches. LOL

Re: Appearing Cheltenham Festival
What about a little side trip to pick me up, girls? I'll provide the world's best champagne truffles and a bottle of bubbly.

Re: Appearing Cheltenham Festival
I am actually all for Afghanistan - in the footsteps of our heroes. And after all, I am a doctor!
When do we leave?
