Right. Given I'm going away tomorrow for a few days I REALLY need to be up-to-date with reviews or I'll have forgotten entirely what I saw by the time I got back *g*

To be honest I REALLY should have posted about the Comedy Store Players asap as it's always hard to remember exactly what they did and otherwise my reviews are a bit THEY WERE THE ( Read more... )

Today has been rather full of bad news and other not fun things :-(
