    Takeaway and wine tonight. Bottle of something Fizzy to celebrate MrsB passing her first year OU exam.

    Saturday : Final fettling of the new bike in preparation for next weekend. Checking packing list and working out where everything is going to go. A gentle spin on the bike to keep the legs moving.

    Sunday : 100 miles or so on the bike in full LEL configuration, which will either give me confidence that I've got it all right or send me into a blind panic about stuff that doesn't work / fit / go right.

    Well tonight will be spent packing the van and trailer. Tomorrow and Sunday will be spent doing a medieval show at a local children's event.

    Mrs MUN is going to the pub on Sunday evening so I will see whether any of my regular crew fancy coming over and playing some board games or finishing off my BIL's RPG that I started running for him on his birthday ages ago!

    Saturday night will probably be spent watching Supernatural and drinking wine with Mrs MUN.

    You?

    I did hear you had something in common with Alan:
    Lord B'Stard will be remembered by those rich and privileged enough have known him, as a kind and generous man, a convivial host, brilliant raconteur, great patriot and extraordinary lover who perfected the eight second orgasm.
    £210 an hour? Blimey you will have those fees pretty quickly if you can find any customers.

    And important news for Fans:

    The B'Stard is back! : News 2017 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide

    Writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran are developing a sequel called The B'Stard Legacy.

    They say that their show is 'what the world needs in the time of the alt-right and Fake News'.

    If it gets to the screen, the action will revolve around Alan's long-lost son Arron B'Stard, who was adopted by two Green Party activists in Welwyn Garden City and who has built up an international business and media empire.
