I was hoping that Queen musical was a JOKE!

Looks like it opens on the 15th of May, get tickets here...

BUT NO! From our ticket shop:

ROBERT DE NIRO presents WE WILL ROCK YOU by QUEEN and BEN ELTON

Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe, happy Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and the kids download them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands.

But resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody. Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone.

It features 31 of QUEEN's greatest songs, including Killer Queen, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are The Champions, It's A Kind Of Magic, Radio Ga Ga, Somebody To Love, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You.

Sons and Daughters

Added a new band today, from that Australia...

Just added Killing Heidi, from Australia... apparently they are big with THE KIDS DOWN UNDER.



Also just added Silver Sun, because one of them is playing, and it's only fair... I remember them when they were just called "Sun" you know...

106 Hell

Got to start this week with a big hinge, JOY of a journey in this morning, it seems the 106 has been diverted away from it's normal diversion so now it doesn't go past Stoke Newington station or along our bit of Manor Road at all. But there have been no notices about this, so we were stood at the stop for half an hour waiting. Bus driver said that it had to be moved away from it's normal diverted route because of traffic light failure there, but it's pretty crap that they couldn't send someone along the normal route to put up some signs saying "don't wait here"...

Fine day for some stupid kids to be jumping in front of the bus down my the park waving banners saying NO 106... I understand there have been petitions to get the bus rediverted away from the school and that, but the firt time I see protesters was the one day the bus wasn't going near the school. Any excuse to get out of lessons for them I suppose... Then there was a signal failure at Chalk Farm, so all in all it was about a one and three quarter hour journey in. I'm getting right disillusioned with London right now, I could commute in from the seaside in that sort of time!
