skipper That's me! Technical Manager at Komedia in Bath. If anyone is ever in Bath and wants a Comedy show, drop me a line ;-)


Probably not as good a story as your Reginald D Hunter one but ...

I was speaking with my son earlier on this evening and as he goes to Bath University and likes live comedy I happened to mention that the Technical Manager of Komedia in Bath happens to post on Hobnob.

To my surprise he came back with "I'm performing there on Tuesday"!

I wondered if he'd suddenly taken up a sideline in stand-up but no, there's a university Jazz Night on and he'll be one of the trombonists performing.


Well I am tech'ing Chaos Jazz, so I will be meeting him!

I only hope he puts on a better performance than we are currently against Wycombe!

Out of interest, where do people get these sort of flags made?

Quite a big bugger, 40 ft by 40ft, wonder where it will be displayed? I remember the huge number 13 flag that used to go the length of the east stand before games, can`t see that happening again.

If I had to guess, maybe it will go around 1871

There's a few companies in Reading that do large scale vinyl printing.

Apparently still needs some tinkering, but for the thousands of us that are not up to date with our Spanish it means "KING OF BERKSHIRE"

I mean, I like to point out people errors as much as the next guy, but it absolutely does - you really don't have to be so antagonistic about everything.
