It's a graph
You wouldn't like it, it contains no information on musical theatre, light loafers, scented candles, rainbow flags, brightly-coloured and effeminately-named cocktails, Celine Dion, male grooming, small novelty dogs or other men's bottoms.

I fail to see what any of this has to do with me
Except musical theatre, and male grooming. And EVERYONE likes small novelty dogs.

Crow! You live in London, and are a reasonably cultured man, yes? Give me some recommendations for stuff to do in the capital, there's a chap. Am taking the missus down there for a couple of weeks to celebrate her birthday and have an inkling that going to see Chicago every night won't quite cut it.

Well, there's always Priscilla: Queen of the Desert...
I jest. If you've a couple of weeks to kill:
- There is a metric fuckton of good pubs, if you know where to find them. I say this from the point of view of an ale drinker, admittedly.
- Avoid Oxford Street if possible. It will make you hate other pedestrians as much as I do
- I believe Carnaby Street does a lot of trendy fashiony-type stuff that you can both go and squeal at
- Trick her into thinking you're sophisticated: the Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and Barbican are usually playing host to some good (and relatively cheap) classical concerts
- OR go to see some jazz at the Jazz Cafe or some blues at Ain't Nothin' But, Round Midnight (or, indeed, the jam at the Spice of Life on a Tuesday night if you can walk past Priscilla without walking in by force of instinct)
- Visit the parks. They're nice.
- Visit the zoo. (BE SURE NOT TO LEAVE HER THERE BY ACCIDENT!!!LOLZORS!!ROFLMAO!!!!QUETZALCOATLAS!!!!!11)
- Go to Hamley's and temporarily return to a state of complete (or just enhanced) juvenility.
- Go to Soho and watch other women taking their clothes off. Or men, whatever she'd rather
- Meet some London b3tans for a pint, and we'll try not to let the in-jokes slip out
- Go to Tayyabs and eat heavenly curried meat until you cry ghee.

*makes notes furiously*
Thank you very much, appreciate you taking the time. I especially like the subtly interwoven insults. I must defend my taste if not my sexuality; I would never go and see Priscilla, because the film was fucking shit.

EDIT: In reference to the possibility of a mini-bash, I had considered suggesting it but am not sure how many of you are on the List Of B3tans I'd Trust Enough To Introduce The Missus To. It is a conspicuously short list, with about 6 or 7 names. Who lives in London apart from yourself and Monty?

WTF!!
The film was fabulous.

I must take issue with this
I know, better than most I think, what constitutes fabulous.

I'm the biggest fag hag in the universe.
I think I have some say in the matter also.

Not any more
Just because a film is camp as tits does not make it good
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 29 Jul 2011, 9:24, Reply)

It's nothing to do with the camp.
It's the fucking acting credentials.

Guy Pierce
Terence Stamp
Hugo Weaving

Great cast, no question
You know what else has great actors in it? Heaven's Gate.

The story line is good as is the cinematography.
You're off your head lad.
( girlinthehole, Fri 29 Jul 2011, 9:35, Reply)

The storyline is daft at best and nonsensical at worst
And unlike various other Hugo Weaving films which suffer from the same affliction, it doesn't have massive explosions to distract from its flaws
