Funnily enough they've recently bought a blue Ray. But I don't have time to get a load of films from ebay before Sunday.

I was also wondering if there were any nice mens grooming products at the £10 mark.

Or maybe bougie chilies.

Amazon prime gets you Bend it like Beckham blu ray delivered tomorrow. Within budget too, £7

Shit.

I try to avoid pure jokes Secret Santa's, but it feels like that's a gift calling me.

Maybe that plus some nice chillies.

Also the reviews... They all seem to be written by aspiring film critics.

My mate saw Keira Knightly in Finchley this week. Imagine that.

Keiran who?

Joke Blu-Ray seems to be where this is going, but instead of that instant landfill candidate - £10 mark for grooming ideas could be a grab bag with TePe interdentals, a tub of Aldi’s Rejuvelate face cream, some tweezers, tube of Carmex &c &c

Is break pad wear linear vs stopping effect? I'm wondering if I'm doing wrong on my commute.

I would like to gift my partner tickets for the CATS musical and I need some general advice.

• Which seats do I get? I would like the balcony seats for the lolz (I imagine myself sitting there with a tux and binoculars) but view and acoustic might be better in the frontal seats. Also the frontal yellow seats (on the bottom) are not available on Saturday, which I would prefer.
  
• When do you have dinner? Friday performance is at 7.30pm and saturday at 6.30pm and goes for 2h45min incl. a break. Before is too early or straight not possible due to work and after might be too late. Are there snacks during the break?
  
• Any etiquettes that I should know? You may have noticed by now, but I'm quite new to this environment so any advice is appreciated (dress code etc. although I'm quite sure I don't need a tux for a musical)

You don't need a tux, but if you want to wear a tux, go for it

Main thing is to bring decent noise canceling headphones.

The front of the first balcony (or first few rows) is good. You're not going to have to worry about the acoustic. It's all amplified, usually very loud. These days it's not very dressy. People turn up with their backpacks or shopping bags, some people in work clothes, some dressing up.

If you can't eat before you are stuck for choices. Eating first and during the interval is possible at the opera but not so much musicals. There are restaurants that cater to the theatre goers after the show but it's late and you need to get home after that so it can get very late. If you book at a restaurant before the show nearby they will serve you at breakneck speed because they are there for that day in day out.

I’d go with the best seats you can get, sod the cost! To off set it get some street food. Looking back you won’t remember the diner, too rushed to enjoy. But the show will stay with you for ever. Wear what ever you want, dress up, dress down, hell dress as a cat ! Just relax and soak it all up.

Don’t drag your brakes is my only advice. You’re either stopping or you’re not ;)

In what sense? (But also, no, the whole system is thick with non-linearities)

http://Www.seatview.com , get an idea of what it would look like from a given seat.

No special etiquette other than don’t chat, don’t sneak in noisy food wrappers (they sell sweets in cups at the snack bar), try to avoid arriving at your seat late or leaving early (take advantage of bathroom breaks, usually a mad rush). After theatre dinner in London is a real pain as most places have closed. Make a reservation beforehand, otherwise you’ll struggle.

I love Big Easy at Covent Garden.
