Just a note to say we saw Rich again at the Savoy on 23/5/2015 on the 3:10 to Humour tour. The show was remarkably similar to the previous tour, which was rather disappointing.

I suppose I should just be grateful for being called a “boy”, as it’s been a few years.

Like you, I know a few doctors and an ex-university lecturer (head of his science department) and none have the vaguest knowledge or interest in I.T. More worryingly I know a school teacher who teaches ICT and they are the first to admit that they have no knowledge of the subject at all.

So *you’* were IT-Boy! Good for you. Yeah. I was there too (up in the circle). Loved the show, but I’m always baffled at the negative reaction IT and high tech engenders over here in the UK. It’s a strange thing. A UK meme. Rich Hall just played up to it.

I’m in IT too, but I tend to keep it quiet in polite conversation. Nearly everyone effects an attitude of exaggerated boredom the moment you mention it. Most of my friends are professionals of various kinds (doctors, university lecturers). Smart people. Yet even they almost take pride in their ignorance of science and technology and wear it like a badge of honor (note the spelling: like Rich Hall, I’m an American who spends a lot of time in the UK).. Downright perverse!

Anyway, I loved the show and found your blog while looking for a review. Best of luck in the future.
