We Will Rock You

So tonight, my work people paid for the Office ladies to go to see 'We Will Rock You' at the Dominion Theatre in London. Now as I've mentioned, I'm not necessarily a big fan of doing things with the work folks in my personal time, and I was soooo not wanting to go...especially cos I felt like I wasn't given the choice...the actual convo went like this:

Her: What are you doing on the 21st of Dec?

Me: Erm....nothing I don't think...w....

Her: Good, cos we've got tickets to go see we will rock you!

Me: what's that?

Her: It's a musical based around Queen's greatest hits

Me: Right!

Her, being my line manager.

Please believe I was mad, cos the 1st I knew of this ting was when the tickets were bought, but you know what, whatever-it's done now! Now considering I'm not necessarily a big fan of Rock n Roll, and I can count on one hand the amount of Queen songs I actually know, I was dreading this evening like you wouldn't believe.

We left work, and headed out to London to meet the Engineer boys....they were guzzling alcohol-the usual way they do...my line manager & office manager thought it was real funny to take random photos of me when I wasn't noticing-erm...that shit's not funny! Believe it took everything for me not to punch my line manager (in particular) in the face...that stupid camera flash was gonna blind me...and I know come Monday she's gonna put them shits on the shared drive for all and sundry to see....Cha!

But anyways, get to the theatre and the show begins....and ladies and gents...I can actually say I thoroughly enjoyed the show....lol-so much so, for a minute I considered getting Queen's greatest hits or some shit....oh and I discovered that I know alot more of their songs than I actually thought...It was a really good show...I'd even recommend it!!

It's really amazing the way Ben Elton was able to incorporate the screenplay for this, and make it relevant to all the Queen tracks....it was really good!! Too many flashing lights though....seriously BRIGHT lights, stobes and things.....but that aside it was excellent!

When it was all over me and my friend exited mighty quickly to catch the train back home. Waiting for me outside the station was the lovely Soldier, who left his house to meet me, and then dropped my friend home...and then me home...and then headed back home! Aww bless him...and he's got work in the morning...I didn't get to the station til after 11pm....

Speaking of which-did I mention that he's left the Army? I can't remember if I did, but he has anyways-started last week at his new gig-driving buses, and getting paid crazy money for doing so!! I tell ya if those buses weren't so damn big I'd consider driving em...seriously the pay is soooo sick!! But after driving my Smartie for so long, even driving a Ford Focus feels like I'm driving a limo! Guess them double deckers are out of the question then! LOL!! But yeah, he's working, and seemingly loving it...so all's good there!!

Anywhoooo, one must go now as I'm tired as hell!!

If I don't come back here before Christmas (I'm planning to, but just in case you know) I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and *Jamaican accent:* nyam til uno belly buss. I hope your holidays is filled with much laughter and love, and 2008 is an even more properous year for you all.

Much Love
