  10. Having walked out of more than one job at the very sniff of bullying, I was gratified to see one of my ex-employers go into administration this week (ok, I actually laughed like a drain for 5 minutes solid). Not the only ex-employer to go either since I left. What goes around, comes around. One of the few clichés that is true.

    Broadway - "the Great White Way"

    Ok, so he was playing Jean Valjean at 21? There really is a limit to character acting, in his debut, well, this appears to be it. Boy in far older wig singing about the death of someone older than him. Who casts this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og7lqYmuEmw Tragic death though. Cast are probably miserables.
