Norwich - a fine city. That's our city's catchphrase, and we're not ones for an argument. In fact, we want to spread the word far and wide, leaving no stone unturned or cliche unused. So in the interests of furthering Norwich's worldwide fame, here's some other websites we humbly suggest our readers might find of interest: http://www.cafewriters.org.uk/Café Writers present a wide range of writers performing a variety of styles - poetry, drama, prose - in an atmosphere that both welcomes new work and invites professional polish. There are opportunities to read from the floor. They also hold regular writing workshops in Norwich. Go along and surprise yourself.
Ah, go on, go and see a show! And buy a cake in the bar. And tell them we sent you. Local theatre and production company seeking to make you laugh until milk comes out of your nose. Some would say it's all a bit incestuous, but I couldn't possibly comment except to say this is Norfolk, get over it. Local and touring bands at bonus prices. Plus photography exhibitions and, should you feel the need to extend yourself, evening classes in arty stuff. Blocked drain, is it? Wasp's nest in your roof? Kids outside kicking your car again? Lolita and Gavin having another fight in the flat upstairs? Or have they just ballsed up your council tax bill again? Don't get mad. Get, er, get to this site.
www.norfolkblurb.co.ukAward-winning Norfolk County Council website aimed at young people these days, between 14-24 years old. Includes an agony aunt, Auntie Blurb, as endorsed by our very own Leanne. Perfect for looking up events and things to do once all the bus shelters have been vandalised. Yes, the next Tracey Emin might be from our neck of the woods. Be afraid. Norwich-based uber-rock band heading for a stadium gig near you... http://www.metacritic.com/You know when one critic says "brilliant," and one says "rubbish," and you get so confused you just skip the whole show/film/CD? Fear not! Brilliant critical averaging function saves mankind from crap purchases! All the news that's fit to print, and all that jazz. We think it might be some kind of unfunny spoof, but you can decide for yourselves. You're old enough, and you're way ugly enough.
