Some of you may already know that I run <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ronniancona.com\/\">ronniancona.com<\/a>, well the Beeb wrote to me in an attempt to publicise the new show recording, and with pleasure I complied.<br \/>\nMichele and I turned up early and decided to queue in the rain. This was mainly because we couldn&#8217;t find a pub nearby (I know! The BBC! Weird), but it turns out that they have installed a cafe\/bar for audience members since I last visited the place. LWT take note.<br \/>\nLet me tell you, if you get audience tickets for the Beeb, please get there before the door-opening time. It&#8217;s great. You get to have a glass or two of rather good wine, whilst watching a bunch of lazy arses having to queue.<br \/>\nBoth of us tried to spot punters that found out about the show through ronniancona.com, which basically meant looking for snurglars, and Michele spotted 3 in our row at least. It seems I&#8217;ve inadvertently found a superbly effective way to meet snudgers, pervs and generic saddos.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway &#8211; the new show looks good, even if it does suffer from many of the diseases of other recent shows: unoriginal material, too little material for a series etc etc. Overall she&#8217;s still great is our Ronni.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This laptop keyboard is buggered so excuse me if there are loads of typos&#8230;even if they involve serious breaches of grammar.
