Well, I could quite happily live without Bohemian Rhapsody. Pompous, overblown piece of crap that it is.

Actually, that describes opera pretty well, too.

Well, I'm providing examples from popular cultcha where opera has had a meaningful impact. And hence I'm pro opera, arguing to keep it out of Room 101.

Sprout and B are choosing to use my examples to support their argument that it should be sent to 101.

Can't we just put the singing fat lady in there? Then it'll all be over with, no? (I've only ever seen two sorts of people wearing horned helmets in this day and age, opera singers and football hooligans. Is there a link?)

I tried sprout's suggestion.

Bathwater does indeed stifle opera. It also tastes better than ice-cold beer. And I bet you could even drown salesmen with it.

Nice one, sprout
