Proud step-dad, me

[The Large One]

My step-daughter is cock-a-hoop as the moment. It's all I can do to drag her down from the ceililng. Why? She has just been offered her first choice of university - Guildhall in London, where she is going to study Stage Management to a degree level.

Pluses
• Top university offering excellent career prospects when she has finished
• She is happy that it's not too far from home, but far enough away to be considered 'away'.
• Work placement already offered - one of the big theatres in New York City
• Me and the missus get the house to ourselves

Minuses
• Bloody expensive course - I can see a sodding great bill coming our way
• London is bloody expensive to live in
• Me and the missus get the house to ourselves

Anyway, never mind that, me and her mum are absolutely delighted for her, it's what she has wanted - no, badly yearned for - for ages, and I just thought I'd share this lovely piece of household news with you.

That is all.

Do it yourself. She works in the Gardners these days.

Kids Eh? Mine are in their late 30's and I still worry about them and support them with money.

Great news TLO anyway. You and Mrs TLO must be very proud

I'm a production sound engineer TLO. I do loads of theatre stuff, musicals mostly. So yes, I'm a bit of a 'west end wendy' on the quiet. Guildhall's well respected in the biz. Tell her to take the sound option in her 3rd(?) year if she has a choice, and she'll give herself more chance of work when she finishes her course.

Wierd you should say that - I think that is what she is going to do.

Where do you work? Brizzle?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Nice one Al.

Not normally, if a show I'm working on comes here then it's a bonus. I spend 90% of my working life away from home, which I really enjoy.
Good for her for wanting to do sound. All other departements smell, except for wardrobe who tour their own washing machines !

 

[Hiney]

Nice one Al.

EXACTLY what I was going to say!

 

[Gwylan]

Good one. I had a friend who got on a stage management course and I know that it's pretty competitive.

Well done to her, you and Mrs TLO must be very proud.

 

[dougdeep]

Great stuff. Well done young lady.

 

[Les Biehn]

Nice one TLO, it will the best years of her life.
