I guess now that I am no longer on the Apple Rooftop, I should do what some of our illustrious forum members did in the past and have a “race to the rooftop” where I post completely silly, inconsequential and irrelevant topics and comments all the time until I make it back to the rooftop.

^^ What a great idea! a-hard-days-night-john-6

You could start by derailing every single thread on the forum, and then create another 100 threads about things like whether you prefer Ringo’s shoe size or George’s.

 

Actually, I take that back. Please don’t. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

Great, we’re on then @AppleScruffJunior! Thanks for the suggestions, @pepperland. And I’ll be sure to revive a few hundred old threads while I’m at it, @Starr Shine?.

It’s the exact same as the American as far as I know.

 

I like the film ‘Clue’ as well, Tim Curry is one of the coolest people known to mankind and an amazing, versatile actor.

It’s so sad how he looks now after his stroke 🙁

Basically, Cluedo was invented by a British man in the 1940s, when it was issued in the US in 1949, there were a few minor variations, and knowing the Americans wouldn’t understand the name Cluedo, they dropped the do and called it Clue.

It’s true, I don’t understand the name or even how to pronounce it.

Clue-doh (as in what Homer Simpson says). It’s a combination of the words ‘Clue’ and ‘Ludo’- which is Latin for ‘I play’ or so Wikipedia tells me.

 

At the minute I am on another ‘RENT’ Broadway soundtrack rave, do any of ye like musicals and if so what is/are your favourite(s)?

 

Particularly this excellent ditty, I love the final Broadway cast.

I’ve only seen about 10 minutes of Legally Blonde although I really should watch the rest of it seeing as it was proshot. I’ve watched the original film twice I think and it’s decent, I can’t complain.

ESILY is great, I saw it a couple of years ago and it deserves a rewatch but that dancing/flying scene is still stuck in my head.

 

As for myself, I can’t really decide. I like Miss Saigon, RENT (obviously, it has the best music of any musical as regards quality and consistency of any musical I think- I don’t really like the title track but everything else is great- particularly Mimi and Maureen’s songs), Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon (which I really need to see properly, one day. I’ve watched a shaky amateur recording of it but it’s still great), Rocky Horror, La Cage aux Folles, Cabaret and Chicago but there is a million more or so that I still would love to see (I have yet to see a stage version of ‘Hair’ for example, the title track is one of my favourite ‘rock out’ musical songs ever but nobody ever seems to stage it. I’ve seen the film but the original playwrights hated the film adaption so I’m better off seeing the original musical- although people say it is now ridiculously dated I will have to see for myself!).
