So, walking through town last night, I saw a miniature lake forming across the pavement and in the road. Nothing unusual there if it had been raining, you'd think, but it hadn't. Curiosity grabbed me, and so I ventured to turn my head to the left, following the flow of water backwards, to find the source.
I spy a door. I spy water running from the doorstep. I spy water running from under the door, and down onto the step - not just a trickle, but a fair ol' stream.
I look up, and see that it's an insurance company. And they've shut up shop for the night.
Oh, sweet irony...
"Hope you've got insurance for that mate!"

I went past the AQ theatre last night, as it happens... I was with my Aunt, and I said "that's supposed to be really funny" I think the generation gap kicked in around that point!

It's one of the most politically incorrect musicals you'll come across (songs like 'Everyone's a little bit racist' 'The Internet is for Porn' 'If you were gay' and 'It sucks to be me'), but having been to see it (and a proud owner of the soundtrack) I can honestly say it's fantastic. I can't remember the last time I watched anything (TV, film or anything else) that made me laugh so much, but it's also got some serious and some genuinely nice messages in it too. One of the characters is Gary Coleman (yes, he from 'Different Strokes'), who's Avenue Q's handyman, and in the original US production he was played by a woman! What do you do with a BA in English? What is my life going to be? Four years of college and plenty of knowledge Have earned me this useless degree I can't pay the bills yet, 'cause I have no skills yet The world is a big scary place But somehow I can't shake the feeling I might make A difference to the human race~

Yeah I'm aware of all that... there was a fair bit of fuss in London when it first arrived, as I recall. I definitely want to see it at some point, I'm sure I could suspend my "moral outrage" gland lol! Besides it's no worse than Team America for political incorrectness... and that's one of my favourite films! ;D

Well, if you're stuck for someone to go with you, I wouldn't object to seeing it again! ;D
The real beauty is that it's a really small theatre too, so you get a good view wherever you sit - we (me and the girlfriend) were in the back row, off to one side, under the balcony, and didn't miss a thing!
