Hmm. I can't wait for work again on Jan 5th. :o(

[Breadmaster] I work for BT and yes you've guessed I am in work this weekend as well.

I, too, am at work, after a freak brownout took out our webserver and several other machines. Feh!

The voting public have just named Grease the greatest musical of all time. I have lost the last lingering thread of my hope for this country....

Surely you jest!

I jest ye not!!! It beat the sound of music to number one!

And Cats, Joseph, Les Mis, Chorus Line, Top Hat, the Wizard of Oz...I could go on, but it's just too depressing...

Now, I'm no musical buff...but how does Grease rank above Tommy and Phantom?

It doesn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My theory is, that it wasn't intentional voting. You see, on these channel 4 polls you can vote for up to 10 of the things on the list. Now, what I'll do on these polls (I didn't know about this one) is vote for the ones I like and if those run out I'll then vote for the ones I've seen and thought were okay. I bet that about 40% of Grease's votes were fom proper fans and that the rest came from these 'leftover' votes of people going "ooh, I liked Grease, I guess that deserves a vote" and the witless ba*ds made it number one!!! I wonder how many people voting for it to do well meant to vote it into that position! You should have heard the screaming in our living room when Sound of Music came up as number two - cos we knew what the only two choices were by then!!

Are we talking movie or stage here?

My all-time favourite, West Side Story, came fourth, but I have to agree that overall the results indicate some bizarre opinions on what constitutes a 'musical'.

West Side Story - magnificent. Porgy and Bess at No. 77! Sacrilege.
