It took me a while for the penny to drop. Very clever. Grin

Hope your DH gets well soon.

WenTheEternallySurprised · 04/06/2012 17:28

Sorry - very clever, Sir.

JubileeTatWearer · 04/06/2012 17:29

Leave it to the young people. Go inside, get warm and hook yourself up to the Gin by IV.
Gawd bless you Ma'am!

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 04/06/2012 17:34

Invite them all inside, your house is big enough!

thatisall · 04/06/2012 17:35

LineRunner · 04/06/2012 17:36

Pip, Hi dude. I met you once. I thought you were quite scary but I was only a young thing.

I don't think they should have stuck you on that fucking golden boat yesterday, it was a health disaster waiting to happen. I'd sack the fuckers. Sir.

QuickLookBusy · 04/06/2012 17:36

YANBU!!

If they make you go, please remember your thermals, it's blooming cold out there. And of course ear plugs, some of that music will be very loud.

DukeHumfrey · 04/06/2012 17:37

YANBU and I don't blame you.
But I can't help thinking it's a bit hard on Crown - who now doesn't even get her usual companion for these ordeals.

Almost a pity neither of you is deaf - at least for this evening.

LineRunner · 04/06/2012 17:37

Is it actually to get out of meeting Gary Barlow?

CrispyCod · 04/06/2012 17:38

Oh no OP, Flip has actually got himself out of it tonight with a bladder infection!

Hope he's ok.

The concert sounds crap maam, kylie minigue, Paul McCartney and elton John, these oldies should also be putting feet up and kettle on!!

The bloke from country file yeasteday was totally rubbish and kept saying how delighted you looked!! You looked really pissed of tbh.

Also your boat looked chavvy, like posh and bex wedding thrones.

HRHBumpingFuglies · 04/06/2012 17:42

Excellent bit of engineering Sir, comfy bed and fine fillies attending to your every need. Top hole!

I don't blame you at all Sir. Put your feet up and enjoy the nurses. Maybe get that pretty grandaughter-in-law of yours to pop round afterwards?
