		<description><![CDATA[This evening after work I headed along to the Serpentine gallery in Hyde Park to take a look at an exhibition by American &#8220;artist&#8221; Richard Prince, whom I later discovered has made his entire career largely out of appropriating the work of others.
Private views at the Serpentine are very different from those at other galleries. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This evening I went to see Wagner&#8217;s Parsifal at the Royal Opera House in London. Parsifal is approximately five hours long. Wagner&#8217;s music, like Richard Strauss&#8217;, is sweeping, haunting and majestic, but he was rather preoccupied with superstition and legend and this opera features a good deal of talk about &#8220;holy spears&#8221;, &#8220;holy grails&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

Though I like the guys there a lot, down in the basement I saw the strangest thing: the entire wall was covered by very amateur and rather pointless drawings. They were okay, but I found myself sincerely hoping that whoever did them was not paid [...]]]></description>

Its storylines can be contrived, granted, but the programme nonetheless teaches a variety of very important lessons, including:
