Some Light Relief...

As I sat down in the Cathedral, I spotted Richard Marsden of Bashing Secularism. He came and sat next to me, and I watched, fascinated, as he took detailed notes... in shorthand. I look forward to reading his take on the evening's (lack of) entertainment.

I also spotted Fr. Tim in the audience... taking notes on his PDA. His analysis of the talk will be worth watching out for. UPDATE: It was. It's over HERE.

After the talk, we went for a drink: not the Cardinal Pub round the back of the Cathedral (rumour has it that it is now frequented by trendy liberals!) but the Ha Ha Bar & Grill in the new glass-and-concrete complex just opposite the Cathedral Piazza. This is a far more trendy location... and it has a rather nice area upstairs where you can get drinks brought to your table along with a few bowls of fries (assuming you don't want to have a whole meal, that is!)
