Got an invite to the tory club private viewing of the Thatcher film. AIBU to want to go dressed as a miner?

[Nevergarglebrandybutter]

The thing is, I've judged things wrong before but I really want to.

AIBU?

get lagging drunk beforehand and throw old tomatoes at the screen every time she come on.

In my mind somewhere I would do this, then sit for 90 minutes wishing the cinema chair would swallow me whole.

is there a sing-along version of the fil?, I could start a new rocky horror style cult night out.

blackeyedsusan how did you get your black eyes?

I also find it totally ill mannered, it isn't the time or the place. If you arn't in team Maggie stay away. How bizarre you have been invited. Perhaps just send a note declining their very considerate invitation.

OP you should do it. Remember to update the outfit by adding crack pipe and syringe

You should do it. You owe it to your country and I want you to report back

I think you should do it, and the Tories in the club will be terribly polite and cordial to you. Coals of fire will be heaped on your head.

I was invited as you don't need to one of them to join them for the evening apparently, and I have a particularly lovely friend who happens to be a Tory.

Don't worry, i'm not going to do it, but did make myself laugh when I decided today that the only way I would go, is if i could dress as a miner.

I shall dress as the Falklands and watch it at home.

how will you dress as the falklands?

i may have to adapt my 'field of sheep outfit'. maybe add some penguins.

Attend in a tasteful outfit winningly accessorised by a hat on which you have perched a witty scale model of the Belgrano? .

the hat would be worn with innocence, 'oh this old thing'.

YABU as it is an "invitation". Scampers back to pedant's corner

oh, can't I recieve an invite?

an informal noun apparently.

I believe you can buy 'I still hate Thatcher' tshirts. You could wear one of them. Although you have to be fast, as I've heard they keep selling out of them :-)

i like the idea of a mumsnet private viewing. much sillier.

A milk snatcher T-shirt would be most appropriate for a mumsnetter.

Frothy loving finding another FT fan!

Oh, and OP, YANBU - in my mind I have the balls to do that kind of thing, but only in my mind. Do. It.

And report back so I can live vicariously!

Oh Boo to all you humourless souls. Never presumably your pal knows you are somewhere to the left of Castro so as long as you didn't actually disrupt the film and embarrass her, surely just turning up in good humour in fancy dress wouldn't be an issue. You'd probably get a laugh!

Am a Tory (and I think, a fairly tame one) btw.

You really should know your history before you start spouting bollocks.

YANBU

But I'm sure they wouldn't let you in. It's a 15 certificate so miners aren't allowed.
