Just to note that I have no idea what the musical is like although it was big hit in the states, has been made into a film, and the reviews at least seem to rate it. It's also selling out fast I am reliably informed. the post show discussion shuld be interesting.
Does everyone get these mad links on Tranforms blogs? What is this Ickaprick tosh - some of it is drug loosely related as well?
apologies for that - i think that there is some bug in blogger whereby if a site of blog links us in a side bar then the 'link to post' is then flagged up repeatedly everytime they post a new blog - even if its completely unrelated. ITs very annoying. i will turn off the links to post functionality until i can sort it out
