It was... been singing "can you hear the people sing" and "I dreamed a dream" since I left the cinema. 
I cried, but not as much as I was led to believe I would... also, I cried a lot more during the last 2 acts of La Boheme. I think, if I'd seen the show or read the book... they didn't explain "L'amis de l'ABC" enough, I didn't bond enough with them. No matter how pretty Enjolras was.
If you were on Twitter I would direct you to EmergancyPuppy. Cute things on tap.
Thank you I enjoyed reading that. Didn't know CP had a site - its bookmarked!!!
You saw La Boheme? Its a Puccini opera isn't it? That'll be your italian ancestry 
Did you see it on stage?
Only on Sky Arts. I wanted to try and watch opera to see if I liked it. I did.
Puccini, yes. I watch that Opera thing on ITV when it's on, I like the songs I know... thought I'd give it a go. No idea if ancestry helps. 
He mostly uses it for flogging his luxury calendars.
Ah Hitch, my cultured friend I don't know much about opera but enjoyed what little I've heard. Saw La Traviata when I was a kid [ the elderly lady next door Miss Mehaffy used to take me to shows] and wept buckets. Also used to listen to Maria Callas when travelling on the train between Belfast and Dublin when at uni. Looking out at the scenery + her voice = bliss.
Oh and Nessun Dorma in Italia 90... sigh.
I'm only cultured after eating an yoghurt. 
Impressive, did you have the miniature binoculars?
Ah Pavarotti! I remember that World Cup well, it's also the only World Cup song I remember.
Yoghurt
Nah but I still remember being all 
at La Traviata . Its Verdi.
Opera's one thing I want to explore... must try listening to Puccini. Youtube's a good place for cheapo music.
I saw the beaver! That was so cute!
The pigeon stuff was great too. Impressive.
All hail YouTube! Although, they didn't have Gabriele Viviani as Marcello, which I was looking for. I did copy a video of him singing something else though. Not sure what song, or what it's from but they're dressed as knights, so... yay.
Are those peeps from La Boheme?
Been reading CP's site - thanks again for the link. Hmm interesting fella. Can't understand his devotion to poodles though. Also Itchy and Scratchy are pedigree - he bought them 
With all the abandoned dogs in need of a good home and being put down. Black mark for CP there.
Marcello is, yes. My favourite character.
Yeah, the poodle thing is weird. They aren't the nicest looking dogs either... I'd give anything to be able to go to Glasgow cat and dog home, I'd need my own place for that though. 
Aww sorry about that... it would be nice to get a rescue cat or dog *nods*
Except poodles. Poodles are snappy vicious little things with fangy little teeth. I've a childhood memory of a white poodle going for me. Hated them ever since.
The dogs that get a bad rep are always lovely... it's the wee, posh dogs that are evil incarnate. I would take a rottie over a chihuahua any day. Chihuahuas hate me... I swear.
True true! Me also. I knew people with a doberman and a rottie and they were both sweetie pies.
Chihuahuahs however... 
The junkies round here all have staffs, because they get a weekly allowance for a "companion dog". They get staffs thinking they are hard... and they're all getting abandoned because, obviously, they aren't. Cat and dog home is full of them.
Thats so terrible, the stupid idiots
Yes.
On a cheerier note though...
Jezza, via Twitter:
In ten minutes, we shall start recording show one of the next series of Top Gear. We are all noticeably fatter.
Oh excellent
That means Sunday? Right? 
Yup They've been away too long.
Do you think Jezza will mention Saville and that? He wouldn't...would he?
