I've been e-mailing my friend Dave with regard to a tricky piece of scheduling this weekend.
In the city centre this weekend is the Freedom Festival which was originally held three years ago to mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery and, in particular, pay homage to the role played by local MP William Wilberforce, by watching performances by X Factor runners up and eating badly prepared food from stalls with questionable standards of hygene.
The event is now held annually in the interest of "family fun"
However this year it clashes with the Camra beer festival held at the city hall. Thus we have to devise a plan that allows us to do our family duty but still get to sample Mrs Simpson's Vanilla Porter, preferably whilst avoiding having to watch The Saturdays.

I fucking love The Saturdays

You couldn't stand in for me for an hour or so could you?
Mind you the fact that I could remember how to pick out the main bit from I Just Can't Get Enough when they did their version did briefly make me slightly less dinosaurish in my daughter's eyes.
