Anyone else harbour a secret or not so secret admiration of these guys?

Are you talking about the very real people or this made-up piece from a videogame?

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

I'd prefer the original version.

"THIS IS IMPORTANT."

IS IT VERY IMPORTANT?

Srsly, just watched Mikado with the better half, and apart from her ranting about racism we sort of enjoyed it. I thought the songs were catchy.

I like Gilbert & Sullivan. Watched the Pirates of Penzance and HMS Pinafore a few times.

Liked 'The Pirate Movie' as well...

She does understand that it's not about the Japanese, doesn't she?

Tom Lehrer described Gilbert and Sullivan as being "full of words and music and signifying nothing". Hehe.
