I'm a *damn* good judge of character. There's a reason my workplace sends me in to do almost every first interview. I know how to pick people.

Scripps, Thank you for the offer! I eventually do intend to make it across the pond and couch jumping is probably how I'll do it. That said, I'd be solo (my Dad is too old to safely fly and my mother is about as adventurous as a wet rag) so I'd be forced to make the trip for Last of the Summer Wines for them.

>> "Oh, deer lttle Englaner. Yes, I mae be not lerned, but I do know the deffernece tween “there”, “their”and “they’re.” But I am Ameican and we invented English, so I will give you benefit of the whatever they call it over their.

As for my travels, I have not only been on a bus, but have even went in a taxi (or CAB, as you may no it, and no, I did not pay, my mum did. I ain't got no poulds to spare). I have also went from a couple of states…from the state of ignorance, to the state of rational, to the state of reasonable and finally to the state of being intoleralnt of trooly stoopid peepl.

So bend and snap to THAT, Missy."

I'm counting about a dozen grammatical errors.

Just sayin'.

For people like me who live in places like Kansas City, Missouri in order to travel to London we have to first pay to travel to NY THEN pay to fly from NY to London as most mid western airports don't fly there. Now, i have been to NY TONS of times but only to london Serveral times and the for people like me it is quite more expensive.

"By the way, americians will NEVER forgive you for CATS."

We'll call it quits after LEGALLY BLONDE.

The first time I went to London, I stayed with the family of a poster I'd known for three years via a message board -- and later, Facebook, E-mails, Skype, as well as an extensive network of mutual online friends -- and we'd gotten to be quite good friends, both of us priding ourselves on our ability to assess other people's characters. I flew in, he picked me up at the airport, we shook hands, and I stayed at his home -- in his bed, no less (he took the upstairs couch) -- for 7 days. I strongly feel that any role luck played in the success of this scenario was very, very minimal.

If you use your head, with the way the world is today, these things aren't nearly as crazy as they would have been 10 years ago.

But, hey.

Also, I also love this thread.

^ Exactly. I got to know Calvin through here. We eventually added Facebook and AIM into the mix. After 3 months, we were pretty set to meet and be fine.

My biggest rule in something like this is I need to be able to verify most of the facts the person has given me. And I will NOT do it unless i have seen them on a webcam first.

I'm really excited about seeing the show in London in March. Ball and especially Staunton are perfect casting. Given the universal praise the production received during its Chichester run, I expect the London run to be a huge success and would be very surprised if Broadway doesn't follow

This is probably the best production of Sweeney Todd that I've seen - it's certainly a lot better than the John Doyle production. However it does concern me that something will be lost in moving it from Chichester's thrust stage to a conventional proscenium theatre.
