Nick Pope aside, although I loved Helen Keen's comedy routine, I did also think when she referred to Jack Parsons as a satanist, "At any other venue you'd get away with that, but here there'll be someone who'll correct you."
And sure enough, somebody indignantly piped up, "He wasn't a satanist. He was a Thelemite who followed the ideas of Aleister Crowley."
Though in all fairness, from her response it sounds like she already knew that, but had used a bit of artistic licence because...well, because I doubt Thelemite jokes will have much mileage among her forthcoming Radio 4 listeners. |

| How about a midlands based Uncon next time? The venue will be cheaper and its central for the whole country. |
