Final voucher

 It was a bit too wet for touch rugby this evening with a chance of lightning, we had a childminder booked so we went out for a date night instead.  We had £50 / £150 vouchers left from the u6s rugby clubs so decided to use them.  Steak night at the Ivy House.

Date night

 I bought some tickets to see Richard Herring record his podcast for a friend's birthday.  It was on Friday.  We popped out early for a drink and a quick bite of tapas then went to the show.  It was good fun but was a shame that he didn't manage to sell many tickets.  Of the 1,000 ish ticket venue i'd be surprised if 100 were sold.  What's wrong with Tunbridge Wells?

Date night turned movie night

Our regular date night turned into a movie night last night and it was April's turn to choose.  After the first 5 of her films were not available on Netflix (must be something down to her taste in films) we settled down to watch Northern Soul.

My interest was perked when I saw that Steve Coogan was in it.  Unfortunately only for a couple of scenes.

It was good though, it was set up tut north back in the 70s so had a bit of Kes about it.  I quipped that they probably didn't need to make a set for half of the street scenes as they won't have changed much since they were originally built. Shithole then, shithole now.

The film is about a couple of lads trying to save enough money to go to America so that they can buy as yet unheard soul music to take back to the UK.  Not bad.

IMDB rating: 6.4 (2505 votes)

April rating: Probably about an 8 (1 vote)

Date night

At Pitt Cue. Very good.

The Half Moon may be closing down

Or at least change from where I took April on our first date.

It looks like it might change into a gastro pub. Boo. It's not as if Putney is short of gastro pubs.

Amongst other bands we saw the front man from Dodgy play there (Valentines)
