OWWLOW News…

Regular readers of this blog will already know that the OWWLOW (Other Woman Who Likes Other Women) has the best job in the world. And that’s official.

As the health and safety guru of one of the biggest theatres in London she gets to do pretty routine health and safety stuff. But she also gets to play with all the guns and weapons in the institution’s armoury, experiment with controlled explosions and pyrotechnics, and test all manner of fancy stage scenery and props.

She also has regular trips to check out anything that’s coming to her theatre so she can lay the health and safety groundwork and one recent trip included a weekend away at a Dutch stilt-walking festival. It’s obviously quite varied work…

Her latest task, however, is one of my favourites and sees her preparing for the theatre to become the adopted home of a goat which is starring in one of its productions. The goat is apparently a theatrical goat with plenty of previous stage experience and it comes with its own handler.

The goat’s contract also stipulates it must have fresh water and food, a clean living area, its own handler and a regular supply of Bolivian whores and crack cocaine. OK, I made the last two up but the goat is apparently to be very well looked after and will be paid to boot.

I also love the fact the goat will probably be better treated and better paid than several of the actors.
