April 21, 2012Hello:
Forgive me, but being from Chicago (but with a Godson in N'hampton), I just can't help sharing my knowledge.
Befriend the nice young lady or gentleman, who is probaby making minimum wage, and offer her 10 quid or whatever (in addition to the price of the tickets of course) to let you know, and secure, a couple of opening night tickets. Beats waiting in line with the great unwashed so to speak.
Paraphasing another lesser known Chicagoan, Mr. Alphonse Capone, "You get more with a kind word and a gun, than a kind word alone." May I be so bold to suggest that you invoke the "You get more with a kind word and some cash, than a kind word alone" method of living? Unless, of course, you wish to live the next few years of your life on the "all expenses paid plan" as a guest of Her Majesty.
It helps, so I am told, if the ticket seller is a young man and you are, or have available, a hot young gal to do your bidding. Or, if it's a young lady, perhaps you are an interested young man - you get the idea, no need for me to spell it out.
And, I'm on a roll bear with me, if all else fails nothing says "I value you for who you are!" like a bouquet, a bouquet of money.
Just passing on years of accumulated knowledge on getting through the indignity of life.
Kind Regards,
Ron
