BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY

Bridget Jones is, in the words of Chaka Khan, every woman. She’s smart but baffled by men; she’s pretty but always concerned about her weight; she’s hilarious but often unintentionally so. She sings terrible karaoke, wears inappropriate costumes to fancy dress parties and drinks far too much. In short, she is a modern day hero, and at Girlie Night, we’ll celebrate her, just as she is. Leave your genuinely tiny knickers at home and let it all hang out as we cheer on Bridget (Renee Zellweger), tell off Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and swoon over Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), a man so handsome, he can even pull off a reindeer sweater. No need to prepare any notes on the situation in Chechnya, but come ready to hug your wine bottle and sing along to “All By Myself.” (Don’t worry, you won’t be alone in your esteem for Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess.) Smug marrieds are strictly prohibited. (Sarah Pitre)
