[Chompy]

I have a diary?


Thoughts on this donk when you've done mincing around the aisles at another musical:

"Scotchland manager Craig Levein has drafted Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith into his squad for the friendly against Brazil.

The forward was born in Watford but qualifies for the Scotches through his Scotch grandmother."

I've decided that my diary doesn't get as many hits/views as this one because it's not on The Rail. All the traffic comes through here. If my diary was here, I reckon I'd have about 100,000 replies by now. At least.

Have the powers that be considered a separate section just for diaries...?

Good idea Chomps, but there would have to be separate areas for good diaries, average diaries, tez diaries etc, to help us filter out the dross. Actually, that's how it is now isn't it?

Lolz at expresso's claimage tho. Wp

I play some local comps but get really frustrated cos everyone is fucking terrible yet they continually beat me lol (makes sense)

Does this happen to you at Luton?

Happens all the time George, I've never been knocked out by a player better than me at Luton. Amazing, but true. I have even knocked sicilian out of a comp once. He got cute with QQ and I taught him a lesson with A4. He had a strop too. Was funny. Not as good as Chompy's strop when he called my all in on the turn with K high, and got upset when I won the huge pot. Called me a name and everything.

Scotland are shit, CMS is shit, seems like a perfect match.

Never been to a Scotland game, but I have been to a Peterborough game, and I have never even been to Peterborough. Crazy innit?

I may go to my first Scotland game this week though, undecided as yet.

Im quitting my local. Just tilts me too much. It's not really poker. Not really.

Went to see We Will Rock You again tonight, saw it about 7 years ago I think, and was much funnier and better than I remembered.

To save me arsing up a report, I nicked this from Wiki, which is pretty much spot on.

The story is set exactly 300 years in the future in a vaguely Orwellian world. Earth has been renamed as "Planet Mall", and is controlled by the Globalsoft Corporation. ("Innuendo") On Planet Mall, mainstream commercial conformity reigns, in which Ga Ga Kids watch the same movies, listen to computer-generated music, wear the same clothes and hold the same thoughts and opinions. Musical instruments are forbidden, and rock music is unknown. ("Radio Ga Ga")

In the newest graduating class is black sheep Galileo, who has dreams and hears strange words in his head, most of which are lyrics of songs long since lost, though he does not understand their significance. Despite his teacher's advice, Galileo refuses to conform like the rest of his classmates. ("I Want to Break Free") Galileo is captured by Khashoggi, commander of Globalsoft's police. The teacher also reveals a second anomaly, a young goth woman who is openly mocked and derided by her peers ("Somebody to Love"). She too is arrested by Khashoggi.

Ruling Globalsoft Corporation is the Killer Queen. ("Killer Queen") She has heard of a prophecy that instruments have been hidden somewhere on Planet Mall in the "place of living rock", and a "bright star" will show the way to them. She orders Khashoggi to get to the bottom of the matter and crush the rebel Bohemians who believe in the prophecy. Killer Queen then basks in her power over Planet Mall. ("Play the Game")

Galileo and the young woman wake up in a hospital ("Death on Two Legs" (intro)). They realize that they are kindred spirits, feared by the rest of their society. ("Under Pressure") They flee together from the hospital.

Killer Queen has blown up all the rocks on Planet Mall, but cannot find any supposed hidden instruments. She insists that they have won, and the prophecy will not come to pass. ("A Kind of Magic")

On the streets, Bohemians Brit and Meat climb out of the sewers, where they have been gathering materials to make musical instruments. Brit is a believer in the Dreamer who will fulfil the prophecy, and insists to the cynical Meat that it's the key to bringing real music back into the world. ("I Want It All") Brit and Meat hear footsteps approaching, and hide.

Galileo and the woman arrive, with Galileo talking about his belief that he has a destiny. He says that he has a name for the woman: "Scaramouche". Brit and Meat reveal themselves, and accuse Galileo and Scaramouche of being spies, because Galileo keeps spouting words of the "sacred text". Galileo insists that he only hears those words in his head. Brit tests Galileo, singing the first few lines of "Bohemian Rhapsody". Galileo responds correctly with the subsequent lines, and Brit realises that he is the Dreamer of the prophecy. They bring Galileo and Scaramouche to the Heartbreak Hotel, which is located at the ruins of the Tottenham Court Road tube station, where the Bohemians have made their home. ("Headlong") Of note, the original London production is staged at the Dominion Theatre, which is located above the real Tottenham Court Road tube station.

The Bohemians explain that they take their names after singers long gone, and mourn the deaths of those who died young. ("No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)") The group then celebrate the reason rock bands started playing music in the first place, which was for love. ("Crazy Little Thing Called Love")

Khashoggi and his police suddenly arrive at the Heartbreak Hotel, where they round up the Bohemians for capture. Brit breaks free and battles the police in order to enable Galileo and Scaramouche to escape, but in the process is killed. ("Ogre Battle")

Act TwoThe Ga Ga Kids of Planet Mall move on in their regular fashion. ("One Vision")

Galileo and Scaramouche have escaped the Heartbreak Hotel, and realise that back at the hospital, tracking devices were installed in their heads. They remove them, and upon realizing that they are all that's left of the rebels, they confess their love for each other. ("Who Wants to Live Forever")

The surviving Bohemians have been rounded up by Khashoggi to be tortured. ("Flash") When he cannot get any information from them about the prophecy, he has them brain-drained. ("Seven Seas of Rhye"—interpolating "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon")

Galileo wakes up, and tells Scaramouche that he had a dream that the Bohemians were sent to the Seven Seas of Rhye. Scaramouche agrees they have to go there, but then Galileo insists that she stay because she's a "chick", to which Scaramouche takes offense. They argue, and decide that both of them will go to the Seven Seas of Rhye, but their relationship will be purely professional.

Back at Globalsoft headquarters ("Fat Bottomed Girls") Khashoggi reports that the Bohemians are no longer a problem. Killer Queen prematurely starts to celebrate. ("Don't Stop Me Now") Khashoggi interrupts her, explaining that Galileo and Scaramouche escaped. Killer Queen declares this is the last time Khashoggi has disappointed her, and has him brain-drained. ("Another One Bites the Dust")

Galileo and Scaramouche are making their way to the Seven Seas of Rhye, arguing all the way. ("Hammer to Fall") At the Seven Seas of Rhye pub, Pop the librarian is serving drinks to the lifeless Bohemians. ("These Are the Days of Our Lives") When Galileo and Scaramouche arrive, Pop explains the full nature of the prophecy to them as inscribed by the three remaining members of the band Queen just before they were sentenced to death. Scaramouche figures out that the bright shining star of the prophecy is rock star Freddie Mercury's statue, and that it's pointing to Wembley Stadium, the "place of living rock". After initially preparing to travel by bicycle, (opening of "Bicycle Race")Scaramouche protests that the method "isn't very cool", and so they travel there by motorcycle. ("Headlong (reprise)")

Wembley Stadium is in ruin, with no instruments to be found. Reconciling and their love for each other rekindled ("Love of My Life"), Scaramouche inspires Galileo to perform the opening of "We Will Rock You", and an electric guitar is revealed. Galileo cannot play it, but Scaramouche can. ("Brighton Rock solo") Pop hacks into Globalsoft's network so their music can be heard by everyone on Planet Mall, and Killer Queen is defeated. ("Tie Your Mother Down", "We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions")

After the curtain calls ("We Will Rock You (fast version)"), a question appears that says "Do you want "Bohemian Rhapsody"?" Everybody in the audience is supposed to yell yes, and the answer appears as "Oh...alright then" and the entire cast perform "Bohemian Rhapsody" as an encore.
