Read the story line carefully...before!

A couple of days ago Max asked me if i wanted to join him and some friends to see a play called Rock n Roll at the Duke of York's Theatre. I said "Yeah, sounds good". I didn't even bother to read the story line or any other information about the play because the name "Rock n Roll" sounded promising enough to me :)

The play won the "Evening Standard Theatre Award 2006". Ok, I didn't like that. Usually, when the newspapers like a movie or play, I don't like it and vice versa. I also found it a bit odd that 90% of the audience was 55+. Ok, I have to admit, I was expecting a musical until the first minutes past, although I couldn't figure out where they put the band ;)
The only rock music you could hear was during the scenes (years) when they played an important songs from this year (not the whole song though).

Anyway, although I didn't understand everything the play was quite good. Back home I tried to find out more. Let's see what wikipedia says :

The play is concerned with the significance of rock and roll in the emergence of the democratic movement in Eastern Bloc Czechoslovakia between the Prague Spring of 1968 and the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Taking place at Cambridge University, England and in Prague, the play contrasts the attitudes of a young Czech Ph.D student and rock music fan who becomes appalled by the repressive regime in his home country with those of his British Marxist professor who unrepentantly continues to believe in the Soviet ideal.

Ok, next time I ll check before, even if the name is great. :D

Allergy Advice

Eating my cornflakes this morning, I had a look at the milk bottle:
"Allergy advice: contains milk!". Wow, I didn't know. I wonder if it's just stupid bureaucracy or did someone really sue them for not putting it? I think the advice should be bigger, you can hardly read it... ;-)
