Haven for Waterbirds and People
Advantages: Lovely Park. Beautifully Maintained. Good Facilities Disadvantages: Does get busy
London has a marvellous selection of parks ranging from the likes of the hugely popular and internationally famous Hyde Park,nearby Kensington Gardens,serene Green Park, St James's Park,the oldest in London, liitle parks in various parts of Central London, Richmond park,Syon Park, and the lovely Regents Park.This wide expanse of parkland and gardens is quite remarkable for such a major urban area. It is ever so easy to forget that you are in the ... ...place like Regents Park,which was once part of King HenryVIII's hunting forest in the 16 th century.
Regents Park is centrally located in a very attractive part of Central London and is close to a variety of other world class attractions such as London Zoo, Madame Tussauds,the Planetarium, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The nearest underground station to the park is Baker Street and plenty of buses ply the route from the West End.

The Woman who wails
Advantages: It's a night out? Disadvantages: It isn't very good!
...to Lloyd-Weber’s latest “epic” – the “Woman in White” last night which was an interesting but sadly disappointing experience. Having seen a few of his previous shows – Cats, Starlight Express, Joseph, Phantom, Sunset Boulevard, I had thought that the quality was improving, and his shows are usually entertaining if nothing else, so I was looking forward to a pleasant evening and forked out for 2 top price tickets.
Quel erreur!
Based on the novel ... ...mysterious, suspenseful psychological thriller, which the press quotes would have you believe is a well written masterpiece full of lush romantic melodies. To be fair – one should always ignore the press quotes though. For example the quotes from the Telegraph are:-
1) "Big, lush romantic melodies"
from this sentence:- “It therefore gives me no pleasure at all to report that The Woman in White is a terrible disappointment. Yes, there are moments ...

Dip Me In Chocolate And Throw Me To The Lesbians
Advantages: Hilariously entertaining stage comedy Disadvantages: You need a seriously open mind to watch this
...heard a lot about Jerry Springer - The Opera, not least of all the controversy recently caused when BBC2 showed a televised recording of the stage show. The biggest complaint by far was about the number of swear words contained within the show, followed closely by the religious morality of the production, but I have to take my hat off to Auntie, who stuck to her guns and broadcast the show anyway.
If, like me, you've not been able to work out whether ... ...you through the world of Jerry Springer - The Opera and right now recommend that you try to get to see the show before it closes on February 19th. (According to the show's dedicated website, however, it will begin a tour of UK theatres in October 2005.) Like most good theatre productions, Jerry Springer - The Opera is split into two acts, the first depicting a Jerry Springer TV show, the second a Jerry Springer special: Jerry Springer In Hell.
As ...

Totally Up-To-Date Tilly
Advantages: Totally and utterly entertaining! Disadvantages: Prices for the seats at the back!
...to see Amanda Holden in Thoroughly Modern Millie in the West End.”
“OK. That’s settled then – anything else?”
“Nope. I think that’ll do for now, that’s probably quite enough for you to be getting on with!”
She’s getting more fanatical than me – I’m actually really rather worried…
***THE THEATRE*** The Princes Theatre was the last theatre to be built on Shaftesbury Avenue and it opened on Boxing Day in 1911 with a production of ‘The Three Muskateers’.
... ...stayed in my head!
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE – the title song sung by Millie and the company.
THE SPEED TEST – a sung typing test which just gets faster and faster with the stenographers (typists) tapping tap shoes in the background to simulate the noise of a typewriter.
FORGET ABOUT THE BOY – sung by Millie after being hurt by Jimmy.
I’M FALLING IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE – sung by Mr Graydon and Miss Elizabeth. Hilarious as this is the song where ...

Very Random Silliness
Advantages: Quite funny, light hearted, entertaining, everyone seemed to enjoy it Disadvantages: The seats (room), may offend those it pokes fun at, if easily offended, transport links
...musical version of the popular Monty Python movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a movie that my dad actually appeared in briefly as an extra, playing a peasant in the 'burn the witch' scene. I'll say right off that I found it a disappointment that the musical didn't include this song or scene, since I would have pointed it out to my dad if it was included but oh well.
This is definitely not a 'to be taken seriously' musical at all, its a comedy ... ...im sure that long time Monty Python fans would enjoy this. It is nice to see a light hearted musical that is funny and doesn't take alot of work to follow, rather than the very serious and complicated musicals that can be around. I think that given the rather pessimistic news and economical situation at the moment, its a good thing to go and see, as some light relief away from the news, so in that respect its quite welcome.
Here's some basic information ...
