AIBU to be annoyed when I make a really good point on a thread

and then it's ignored, and either I have to repeat it, or then someone else comes and makes exactly the same point and everyone goes "oh yes, that's quite clever" "what a good and inciteful point" and so on. Maybe I should just type in caps?
So, AIBU?

Not fussy- my most attractive quality is my low standards.

I'll let you choose, it is Christmas, after all.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 13:32

Do hurry up, ladies! I feel the most extraordinary need to undertake my nuptials and my bloom will not last for e'er.

MadameDefarge · 23/12/2009 13:43

Alors! We are snowed in! A wedding, I 'ear you say? Maginifique! Allow me to offer m spare caviar and champagne for the breakfast feast!

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 14:07

Mimi! Dahlink! How lovely! And you have your count with you! How lovely!

Now, has anyone seen dear departed Miss Minty? It simply wouldn't be complete without her. She took the body of someone with fancy buckles a while back.

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 14:19

Oh I do apologise MadameDelarge [smug]

I say we go for the Captain tethers, he is very fit and able and quite the expert at croquet by all accounts.

And where is Minty and her ostentatious footwear these days?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 14:22

The Captain, you say. Ahh......He is very well ...accoutred. Pick again.

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 14:29

So Hully dear when you said choose one am I to assume to had one in mind? [innocent]

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 14:32

No no, not at all But might I suggest Corporal Blenkinsop? He is a little elderly and he did lose an arm and a leg in the last war, but he's terribly gay! What do you think to him?

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 14:38

Erm, ahem, he is rather lifeless no?

I need someone with a tad more, shall we say, fire in his belly.

I fear the only thing in the belly of poor Blenkinsop is this mornings blended breakfast that his nurse fed to him.

Plus he is rather whiffy.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 14:42

Lifeless? Lifeless? Lieutenant Rampant, help him up.

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 14:52

Have just come back to this thread to discover rampant lunacy has taken over, but am willing to offer services in singing Ave Maria for polygamous mormonous wedding, Hully - or some other song should you prefer (Nice Day for a White Wedding, perhaps? )

have fairly decent warbling credentials - choral and rock - and have previously actually been paid to sing (although for you it would be gratis of course) in case anyone was worried for their eardrums

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 14:53

I'll take him!

I have it on good authority that The Baby Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells is available, perchance we can ask him to perform a double service?

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 14:57

I think the private is a girl, gibbon!

Look at the hands.

Ah well, needs must, beggars can't be choosers and all that.

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 14:58

And I'll be damned if I'm going to die a spinster- I mean, I'm almost twenty!

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 15:05

ooohhh yes the hands...and the feet are rather small.

As you say we are practically spinsters now tethers...what say you? Shall we throw caution to the wind?

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 15:08

Let's embrace what may very well be our last and only opportunity!

To be sure, what other possible reason could there be for entering into nuptials?

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 15:09

At least we'll get help with the washing up...

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 15:17

He's no girl, you blithering eejits! Twas a simple hormonal difficulty whilst in utero. Mid section, I may assure you, he is all man.

Thumbles, you may warble and gladly. We have a singer for Ave Hully, but Tether and Gibbon will need a ditty. What do you suggest? And we must fashion dresses too. Quick! Alacrity is of the essence!

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 15:20

A ditty, you say...
How about "here we go gathering Nuts in May" - that is probably lewd appropriate enough for the situation?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 15:35

I hardly think a wedding is an occasion for flippancy Thumble. Let us ask the brides.

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 15:38

How about 'Abide with Me'?

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 15:51

I vote 'all things bright and beautiful' I mean it's us personified is it not?

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 15:56

No, that would be 'Crazy Horses' by the Osmonds, Gibbon.

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 15:57

How about 'Crazy Horses' by the Osmonds?

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 15:59

I do so love that song!

Can we do some eurythmy whilst we are being taken up the aisle?
