Viv and I ordered these bizarre drinks with red kidney beans and green gummy worms.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/vivshake-17384a9fc7.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nYou wouldn't think it, but it actually tasted pretty good. Then we went and laughed a lot at the new \u003Ci>Sherlock Holmes\u003C/i> film. I think it might make purists writhe, but I like how it has all the humour and comic timing that's missing from the new James Bond films, and Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law were fabulous together. \\r\n\\r\nHey, if you're around London on \u003Cb>Thurs, 21 Jan\u003C/b>, this'll be a great event: \u003Ca href=\"http://www.londonprintstudio.org.uk/G2_current.html\">How a Comic is Made\u003C/a>, with \u003Cb>Woodrow Phoenix\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://www.myriadeditions.com/Rumble%20Strip\">\u003Ci>Rumble Strip\u003C/i>\u003C/a>), \u003Cb>Patt Mills\u003C/b> (\u003Ci>Nemesis, Slaine, Requiem\u003C/i>), \u003Cb>Nana Li\u003C/b> (\u003Ci>Twelfth Night\u003C/i>), \u003Cb>Andrzej Klimowski\u003C/b> and \u003Cb>Danusia Schejbal\u003C/b> (\u003Ci>Master & Margarita\u003C/i>), chaired by \u003Cb>Paul Gravett\u003C/b>.
