My brother is in a play at the moment. It's on in the west end and tonight I'm going to go and see it.

I always think situations like this are a little unusual. And I try really hard to not be biased. But it's impossible to know if you're being honest isn't it. Well not exactly. If I thought he was rubbish then I could be pretty sure that I knew I was being honest about it (unless I was just denigrating him out of subconscious spite or something) but the thing is that actually I think he's really good. And what can I do with that? It could be an honest opinion. I think it's an honest opinion but how could I honestly tell?

One thing that points to it is my brothers friends and colleagues. I can tell the difference between their acting skills and there is no correlation between my perceived sense of their quality as actors and how well I know them.

I know it's not quite the same but until I can do better I'll just have to leave it with saying that I think he's really good. I'm sure he won't disappoint tonight.
