I've always wanted to go to London around Christmas time and see the little children selling matches and ribbons in the street and tell them to "Bugger Off" and leave them cold and starving. Than my friends and I would take pictures of them and laugh and laugh, quoting lines from Dickins and than report them to the authorities for panhandeling and watch as they're arrested and taken to jail on Christmas day.

Good times.

Matt, would you bring Timmy?

Cookie, Rome is worth getting to...

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 11:22am

Yes, but London is also worth returning to...

Timmy can't fly anymore after the incident. But something tells me I would see him there.

Not for Timmy though. Don't forget Addy, he's RETARTED. They're not like you and me.

Hah! I didn't even realize that I'd done that! What I MEANT to say was....Go easy on Mr. Dickens! He's Pip's daddy!

And, yes, I would love some tea! Thank you, sir!

Do you take sugar? One lump or two? Milk or lemon?

[Pip]

Just lemon; no sugar, thanks.

Great Addy. I go off on tour and you start planning a trip to London with Cookie? I know he's adorable but what the heck?

I know we had plans to see Poppins and then my company got a gig in Warsaw that week. What can I do?

I am mighty jealous of you two!

From USA Today:

'Poppins' still perfect at 40
By William Keck, USA TODAY
HOLLYWOOD — It was almost a "Jolly Holiday" without Mary; Hollywood traffic Tuesday night delayed Julie Andrews' arrival at the 40th anniversary "re-premiere" of Mary Poppins. But just before the clock struck 7, the 69-year-old actress swept in looking supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in a beaded St. John top. (Alas, no flowered hat, carpetbag or parrot-headed umbrella.)

Class acts: Dick Van Dyke, 78, and Julie Andrews, 69, helped launch Disney’s Mary Poppins 40th anniversary DVD in Los Angeles Tuesday.

To celebrate the arrival Dec. 14 of the fully restored classic on DVD ($29.99,Walt Disney Home Entertainment), Disney did its best to re-create the film's original 1964 Hollywood premiere: Guests were asked to dress in tuxedos, gowns and fur stoles.

Dancing chimney sweeps, an oom-pah band, sidewalk chalk artists and six real-life waddling South African Blackfoot penguins commanded the red carpet before the arrivals of the film's surviving cast — Andrews; Dick Van Dyke (Bert), 78; Glynis Johns (Mrs. Winifred Banks), 81; and Karen Dotrice (Jane), 49.

Before showtime, footage from the original Tinseltown premiere played on the screen, reminding attendees of the era's glamour and serious star power. Among the guests that historic '64 night: the entire cast of The Dick Van Dyke Show, then in its fourth season. This time around, only Van Dyke and Rose Marie, 81, represented the cast.

Van Dyke remembered talk of a Poppins sequel. "Walt had taken an option on P.L. Travers' (follow-up) book, Mary Poppins Comes Back, and he had every intention of doing the sequel, and I'm sure we would have," Van Dyke said. "But then we lost Walt."

Dotrice, who was 8 when she played Poppins' charge, little Jane Banks, remembers her parents informing her of "Uncle Walt's" death in 1966, followed by news of the death of her Poppins brother, Matthew Garber (Michael Banks), who died of pancreatitis in 1977 at age 21. Dotrice says Andrews was not quite the "practically perfect" nanny she played.

"Julie's a naughty girl," Dotrice revealed. "She swore a lot and smoked back then."

To that, Andrews just laughed, but corrected: "I never smoked, but maybe the occasional four-letter word every once in a while."

So whatever became of Nanny Poppins and her charming chimney sweep? "I like to think they got married and flew away together," Van Dyke said.

Andrews offered an alternate theory: "I'm not sure they got married. I think Mary has a slightly riskier life than that."

Addy, why did this make me think of you?

DGrant - I'm so thrilled that made me think of you!

Glebb, those plans were being made long before I knew you couldn't go...you know I would NEVER dream of flying to London to see Poppins without you! I can wait...

(Cookie and I are going to Rome )

*ahem* Addy I thought we were going to London in January to see Poppins??? What's this about Rome??? You are making lots of plans darling.

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 7:52am

I know, right? Adgal is in high demand.

Posted: 12/2/04 at 7:55am

Pop...talk some sense into her...at least gets some dates out of her for London and Poppins.

[popcultureboy]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 7:59am

Well, it's not like Poppins is going anywhere anytime soon, so maybe Rome IS the sensible option.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 8:02am

I know...a trip to Rome with a stop on the way home to London..works for me.
