  - Here. Officers break the rules to save baby wounded in drive-by shooting -- (link) - Spawn Feb 5, 07:55 2
    - oh, yeah, that happened a while ago. -- nm - groiny Feb 5, 07:58 1
      - Yeah, had not heard it. CNN does a story like that every Friday. They know bad news is what we hear so they find a good story to share. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 07:59
I bet LMS had a bad commute this morning. Unexploded bomb found at Victoria Station -- (link*) - Andie Feb 5, 07:50 1

- [deleted] 4
  - Here's the seating chart... - Jim Feb 5, 07:55 3
    - We saw Grease years ago when Touhill first opened. We were probably towards the top and I remember it was fine. -- nm - iSpam Feb 5, 08:04 1
      - Sweet. I'm gonna do the most centered I can do in the first row of the balcony. - Jim Feb 5, 08:05

- You'll miss a corner of the stage sitting on the side, though how much will depend on the specific theater. -- nm* - Znufrii Feb 5, 07:49
- I like to be more towards the center for most "shows". -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 07:49

        it is like a groiny erection smorgasbord in that movie - groiny Feb 5, 07:35 2
