I went to watch a woman named Ruby Wax talk who has lost none of her laconic bravado when discussing the reinvention of the self for 5x15. In a characteristic moment at the Union Chapel whilst ruminating on the ageing process she jovially claims “Once you’re potty trained the shit really hits the fan.” Ruby is exploring the challenges she faced as a young woman claiming how her parents may have sprinkled the’ weird dust ‘over her. I couldn’t help thinking about the lottery results.
The visceral importance of developing ones personality and representation of the self throughout the differing stages of life are balanced with anecdotes recounting the humiliation felt whilst being with her mother in a restaurant where Wax likens her to a fascist leader. During this I importantly checked the lottery results website at UK lotto results to check my lottery winnings. I then Listen to Ruby talk again Whilst she takes the audience through the trials and tribulations of her life the audience are nothing but ears, following her talk of the desire for fame and reasoning to the conclusion that in order to overcome the mistreatment experienced at the hands of mean high school girls, she had to get famous and win money.
