I sat my cousin on my lap and we parked in front of Pirates. He's hooked on G&S now.

I know if I could get them to watch any of it they'd be hooked, but they are way too used to getting their own way. I don't know what Sister is thinking - I know she's a G&S addict  |

Mmm... that's a good plan. Now I'm regretting turning down Sister's invitation to visit this weekend. I could have tried to convert her children.  |

That's how I did it! I recommend Pirates- it's bright and colourful and if they're boys they can't resist pirates.

^ That's why I was thinking Pirates. Seemed the easiest to get them started.
@ nik - Yes indeedy. I'm hanging out for christmas - all my family in one place. Mass conversion time. I bet I can get all the girls onto Patience.

^ That it does!
I was just watching the special feature on my Pirates DVD, and something Johanna said made me think- she said "You think G&S is the funniest thing or don't get it at all" Do you think that's true?

It is. The evil  whose cellar I lived in didn't get it at all when they once walked in on me using their precious DVD player to watch HMS Pinafore ((she's just damn lucky that when she walked in on me watching Rocky it hadn't gone past the credits!)) |

Yes. The majority of people my age. They just don't know what they're missing.

He sat down and had a bit of a giggle, mainly because I was laughing ((sadly I'm one of those horrid laugh instigators in audiences)). She looked at it for a while before trumping off into the kitchen.

My oldest brother has watched Anthony's Pirates, and he liked it, but I don't think he'd go out of his way to watch it again. Although, that may not be much of an indication. When I told him I was thinking of going to Phantom the second time, he said 'it wasn't that good'.  |

He changed his tune pretty quick when his fiance lamented that I only had two tickets and one was set aside for my friend. I wouldn't be suprised if they end up going to Adelaide.

I think it's safe to say L.A.'s been converted. To some degree. Barely a fledgling Warlovian, I don't think she'll get into it at our degree, but she was saying just before that she agrees ((this is to her thought on an agreement, mind)) that there's no one in the world who's a better Phantom ((it's all a matter of opinion, right?)).
That being said when she plucked the 04 movie off my shelf to watch ((she wants to know "what they've done to it". I advised earplugs)). Although, to be fair, she did have a reasonably good long stare at my Warlow DVDs ((I think she's of two minds with that; I believe she's interested to watch my collection but because of the name she thinks it's Jewish. I told her Die Fledermaus is German and she just said "There are many German Jews". Don't ask me about the Jewish thing)).

Maybe you should get her to come here and look around. I, too, was barely a fledgling Warlovian when I first looked here. It didn't take long for that to change...

I don't think my sister's the type.
That, and this is the one place where I don't have to deal with my family and IRL associates. A girl needs a sanctuary after all.

Technically Mar, some of us are IRL associates And "there are many German Jews"?? |

Yes, but you're not in the same state. IRL associates implies to those closer to home; family members and people who've seen you almost every day in your life. Not cell mates in the prison of insanity. And I said "don't ask"! |

Prison? That implies being deprived of things- and we are certainly not deprived!
Depraved maybe

This is me being incredibly slow - but I was watching Patience tonight, and I just realised the Major is the same bloke that did Dr Falke. Umm... Neil Kirkby? Something like that... He has very distictive eyes, and I don't understand why it took me so long to notice that it is the same person |

Yes, that's him. He's gorgeous with a moustache; interesting voice too. He was also in The Gondaliers as Antonio. And The Duke ((Graeme Ewer)) was Ko-Ko in The Mikado and The Duchess in The Gondaliers ...
Grab the G&S Box Set if you haven't got those two; so it means doubling up on Patience and HMS / Trial, but that's spare copies to lend out to conversions ((plus Ant's pic is on the cover of the box 3 times, with his Corcoran image being the most prominent; I consider that a lovely bonus)).
