Posting, partly to prove GtEs harsh and unfounded accusation that I am responsible for TW playing up wrong and partly to ask can anyone recommend some good west end shows please? And by good, I mean with a happy ending and no gore and murder.

No gore, no murder & a happy ending ?

You don't get how these things work, do you ??

Yes I do. Last west end show I watched was Mamma Mia. It was ace.

You could try Mary Poppins, that's good I hear!

Oh, coz he'll be just bursting to watch that one !!

Look, be honest .... cut to the chase and decide what you want to see. He'll smile & nod & pretend he's chuffed with the choice. You'll pretend you believe him & all will be well with the World.

[Dujon]

Are you after musicals or straight drama, GG?

I believe that Helen Mirren is playing in 'The Audience' at the moment. It might be worth checking out the reviews if you're both interested in that sort of thing. No gore is involved as far as I know.

Moving, uplifting, sentimental, something important to say... Does that work for you guys?

And based around a miners strike of course.. ( For what it's worth I enjoyed it and the closing scene was great film-making)

[Burnden Paddock]

Really enjoyed both Jersey Boys and We Will Rock You.

[Bruce Rioja]

GG - I think that this has now finished its run at The Piccadilly, but it's about to tour. I see that it's in Wimbledon in early May if you can make that - I'd book now if you're going to do it. Not one for a schmaltzy story me, like, but apparently this is absolutely brilliant, and the special effects are mind-blowing, I hear.

Lol at bobo, spooky how you know me and Mr GG so well! Thanks Dujon, Burnden paddock and Bruce, will check them all out too.

Tell me I'm wrong.

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Not a big fan of We Will Rock You, but then I don't like Queen.

Jersey Boys is my favourite jukebox musical. Amazing how many great hits they had and it's all packaged up really well.

[Harry Genshaw]

Blood brothers was great when we went to see it. Enough in there to satisfy both of you

[General Mannerheim]

Any skiers or boarders amongst us?

Do you wear a helmet? Ive gone skiing annually for about 15 years now and never worn one, but they are becoming more and more popular, infact mandatory in some resorts! When i think about it, i wear a helmet on my bike without thought, and i probably exceed speeds reached on my bike on skis. That snow isn’t always the nice and fluffy stuff, often its sheet ice like concrete plus i could lose control and hit a rock, tree or somebody else – and it dosent have to be my fault either, somebody could easily come hurtling into me one day. Seem pretty irresponsible not wearing one now. I don’t fancy it though, i get too hot in a bob hat! and your hearing suffers, plus the weight of them on your head all day and the bulk of carrying them, they are not cheap either!... Dilemma.

If you ski steep hills fast wear the helmet.

the other thing, im only taking hand luggage this year. a small case that fits in the gauge with my salopets, clean duds, socks, hats, gloves and a few t-shirts. the clothes on my back will do if i ever need to get changed (which rarely happens) and ill wear my coat to travel in. there wont be room for a helmet - would easyjet let me on board wearing it!?

[Bijou Bob]

To quote the salesman who sold me my first decent bike helmet:

"Hello, I'm Steve. So, Have you got a head worth fifty pounds or three hundred pounds"?

Now you are inventing excuses to avoid doing the sensible thing. Go ahead then - be stupid. Or attach the helmet to your bag by the strap.

[General Mannerheim]

nah, ive talked myself into it now. it would be tempting fate too much to not wear one after all that thought. i bought my brother one for xmas which i was thinking of borrowing but maybe ill just hire a sweaty smelly one over there, keep my hat on underneath it.

Well then Steve is a thieving con artist. Cos safety wise they both have to pass the same stringent tests.
