I was very sceptical re this production, given the fact it was a result of that execrable TV show, but the reviews are pretty good & the clip I saw on TV a while ago seemed about as good as West End revivals get. Still - can't beat the original Artful Dodger, can you (more's the pity)?  Sorry 'bout the small piccie - the only one I could find.

^^ I'm quite sure he's neither of those things GK, and I'm also quite sure he'll be back on PA at some stage today... he's rarely away for more than 24 hours...
I was however wondering why, if you're seeking serenity and peace in your life, you've opted to start a family...

24 hours? With his post rate, 24 minutes is more likely.

since when did the words 'beer' and 'fridge' ever go together, for the discerning connoisseur of fine ales?... 
room temperature, if you don't mind...

Ah ha, it's Mr Blacksword we're talking about. I thought he was at least 50 already!
I'll email him our congrats tonight.

Equally confused was my father when visiting London about 20 years ago, wishing to buy a pair of trousers. He asked where to find pants, and the nice, polite English salesman dutifully brought him to the underwear section. Dad: "No, sorry, I was looking for pants". Salesman: "But these are pants sir, they're right here in this display". Dad: "I mean PANTS" (tugs at trousers). Salesman: "Ah, so you want to see some trousers, sir! Righty-o"

Forgot, same sort of thing happened to me: When I was in a London hotel, and saw a sign that said "LIFT", and had to stand there in confusion for a bit wondering what the hell I was supposed to lift.

Not quite there Jimmy-do.  But it's visible just over the horizon. 
I just wish they'd stop printing things in those damn tiny fonts!

OK, so I just thought I'd let you all know that I have found a thoroughly marvellous deal on an MP3 player (can't you all tell I'm not in work today?? ).
Anyway, I've had it with carrying a Sony Walkman CD player around the hostel while I'm cleaning, so I asked around for the ideal companion, and came across this little beauty in a massive Argos sale:
Argos is by FAR the cheapest for this model at the moment, and the 16gb memory will hold almost half your prog collection...RESULT!!.. 
(hope you didn't mind my sharing this with you all... ) |

I've had a Sony NW-A3000 hard drive walkman for nearly three years now and can recommend it above one of those flippin' ipods.
