Solo On: Chichester

Today's topics suggested by Lady Katana ^_^

Chichester has a very very long history as a town. In Roman times it used to be called Noviomagus, and it was a central hub for getting around the south of West Sussex. There's a huge Roman Palace a mile or so outside the city itself, most of which is encompassed within the Museum based on its site. It's quite a nice place, that, with lots of interesting information baout Romans, the Palace and a fairly small gift shop.

Chichester itself is a city with four main streets running North, South, East and West through its centre, although none of these directly lead to anywhere much anymore. I suppose long ago they'd have been the roads to and from Portsmouth/Arundel/whatever. On them now are shops.

Not very many shops, but they do their jobs. A lot seem to be disappearing for various reasons, actually. The huge MacDonalds on East Street is going, thankfully- the building it was in used to to be a cinema, and it'd be nice to see something other than a global conglomerate sitting inside such a nice building.

There's not a huge amount inside Chichester that makes it really exciting, besides the Theatre that makes up most of its cultural interest. There's a cinema, bowlplex and literally hundreds of eateries, but little else outstanding.

The Festival Theatre is (or certainly was) very interesting, though. Lawrence Olivier was heavily involved with its production and I think its reputation as second best theatre in the country isn't far-fetched, either. That is, unless I'm misremembering it. It's certainly very prestitious, and there are often celebrities running about the place. I saw Pete Postlethwaite on Chichester Station once. He was being haggled by some girls (and, admittedly, by my friends too. Rrr...). But then, since when was a long brown trenchcoat, bright red scarf and flat cap inconspicuous. The problem with fame is you'll get recognised by someone wherever you are.

At the moment, the Festival Theatre's in the middle of its summer performance season: The Chichester Festivities. It's basically a month or so of productions, parades, festivals, comedy nights, musicals and whatever else you'd care to mention. At the moment, the plays are Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's dream and Out of This World, which I think is showing in the sister building right next to the Festival Theatre, called the Minerva. I could be wrong. I don't have a lot to do with the theatre besides my friend Dan, who works in the Education Office.

There's lots of greenery in Chichester. Not just vegetables, but trees and parks too. There are some lovely places to sit in the sun and relax, even if they aren't very big. It's not Central Park by any means, but it's nice enough.

The neighbourhood's fairly nice too, actually. Not a lot of crime happens in and around Chi, but you do get the odd one or two gangs about, thefts and whatever else, just like any other place. Such is life.

In all it's a nice place to be, if not the most exciting. But you don't always want excitement..

...could do with a better toy shop, though >.>

Solo On: When I Will Write Another Chapter of Enter the Net
(Short one, this)
I really don't know. I've been playing with ideas in my head but I've not settled on one yet. Once I do, it won't be too long after that. But I am busy with college work right now, heh. It might be as late as the summer holidays, but I'll try and write at least a short sketch or something in the meantime. An 'Enter the Net Extra', as it were ^_~

Ta!
