She Stoops To Conquer

This lot are coming to the theatre royal Glasgow. Sounds like fun. With any luck they might come for a cosybike ride!

She Stoops to Conquer is a rumbustious story about two young men and their attempts to court two young ladies. Sounds straightforward? Think again. A number of delicious deceits, clever schemes, comic ruses and riotous turns of plot must be played out if the two pending marriages are to conclude happily. Along the way, there is an abundance of merry mix-ups, bawdy dialogue, much sly satire of the times and one of the great characters of the stage, Tony Lumpkin.

Leading the cast is Liza Goddard, who has toured extensively in classic drama from Wilde to Ayckbourne. Joining her is Colin Baker, one of the UK’s best-loved actors

While on the subject of theatre land we are back at the Tron on the 9th February for a cosybike and cabaret!! evening. They loved the cosybike so much they want another go!

Banish Boring Youth Group Fundraising!

This evening I was in Somerfield and the Partick Thistle?  Boys Club were packing bags for customers.  They looked bored out their skulls.  We used to do bag packing when I was in the Scouts although I am sure we had a lot more fun actually talking to the customers.  We also did it uniformed which ensured good donations from older folk as they actually knew who we were.    Maybe the scouting movement has noticed a bit of shyness amongst its youngsters, with the intention of the new PR Badge to help create some even more confident representatives.

Anyway,  To the point!  - Banish the tedious fundraising and do it in style.  Hire the cosybike for a reduced rate - and have a 24 hour sponsored cosybikeathon.  Or a distance challenge?  You will get tons of publicity  and have loads of fun at the same time.   A young person organising a event like this would surely be worthy of a PR Badge.

Speaking of PR, cosybike is on the radio next week, Insightradio 101 FM.  Thur 17th at 1300 approx.  www.insightradio.co.uk

 The very beautiful Jill Daley interviewed me on the bike at Glasgow Green.  I am still blushing!  Jill and her long suffering sound recordist loved their ride round the park and we were assisted by some previous cosy customers.  There was one seat left so we kidnapped a staff member from the Cafe. 

It was an interesting ride.  I had to give her a touch tour of the bike and remember to advise about direction changes and bumps.  

Its quite hard to pedal and talk, as Jill discovered.  I think she likes talking!   Well, they did want to experience top speed, so I said "Top speed is really up to you lot!  Get pedalling!"  They were all out breath pretty quickly!   

Jill lost her sight at 18 due to Diabetes and is now a Broadcaster and presenter and advised Peter Mullan the film director during the making of "Blinded".
