At work there is a lovely Irish girl who is leaving at the end of the summer to go back to Ireland. She wants to do lots of touristy/Londony things in London before she goes. I am well up for that.
'I really want to do afternoon tea at the Ritz...'
'Yes yes me too!'
'Because you can do it in package deal, and it's not too expensive...'
'...right right right, let's book it! I really want to!'
'And afterwards, you go to a matinee of Phantom of the Opera!'
Er.

And then go for a stiff drink once you have removed the foam earplugs from your ears!
Or pretend it's Rocky Horror, and give it a bit of call-and-response.
Oh! To do what the Footman says!
So near, yet so far....
Feign poisoning from the cucumber sarnies?
This isn't the work relationship you were referring to earlier, was it? Have you gone over to the Other Side?
*sigh*
send her home, i'll sort her out. we can't have people like that representing us overseas.
Um, I really enjoyed Phantom of the Opera.
But I was eight at the time.
Afternoon tea at the Dorchester - it was voted top London afternoon tea venue of 2007 by the Tea Council (I keep an eye on these things, just in case I ever find myself in London with an afternoon and £50 to spare!)
Alternatively, upgrade your afternoon tea with a bottle of champagne and this may lessen the Lloyd-Webber effect.
I was dragged to 'Phantom of the Opera' when I was 15, and it wasn't half as bad as I'd feared.
I don't know about now though...
It could be worse at least Phantom has a bit of a spectacle going.
Just complain about how it isn't as good as the book.
It would have been so much easier to make the decision if you were a bloke.
Has she got big knockers? If yes, go! :D
I think hard drugs might be necessary, RoMo.
Tim - yes, heckling would probably make it more bearable.
Arabella - it would be better if it was like Shakespearian times and you could throw rotten fruit in the boring bits.
Greavsie, would it be bad form to sneak out the back in the interval?
BiB - smart thinking.
Patroclus, no, that's someone else. Though now you come to mention it - I get on with women, have lots of women friends, apparently repel men... suddenly it all falls into place! Maybe I'm a gay!
Rosie, she's totally lovely in all other respects - as a compatriot she's doing you proud.
B - well I loved Cats, but then I was about 8 too. And that was TS Eliot and groooovy... I think I might get Sarah Brightman flashbacks for the rest of my life, and I'm scared...
Marsha, I like your style. When are you coming to London?
Red - I have done my time with musicals I fear, I thought I'd never have to sit through another one, but she sneaked this past me.
Billy - there's a book? Oh God.
Rad I think the not-being-attracted to-knockers bit might indicate that I'm not really that way inclined.
Which is why I said making the decision would be so easy if you were a fella. :p
