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?

Oh, oh, a wedding! (stumbles in wincing yet again.) May I be a part of this splendid insanity? Let me away to my chamber to freshen up. Will be but a moment. (chucks wine sodden garment for another)

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 16:01

taken up the aisle, hur hur.

HowTheGibbonStoleChristmas · 23/12/2009 16:03

Cheerful! and Thumble!

Most welcome guests!

catastrojb · 23/12/2009 17:15

eek, missed loads - i was arrested because my wreath didn't cover my breastfeeding airships bosoms properly. hully, i blamed you, hope that's ok.

tethers, did you untangle from the bloomers ok?

catastrojb · 23/12/2009 17:17

i may be too late, but can i suggest "bring your daughter to the slaughter" as a suitable wedding ditty? i'm sure the singers can harmonise it a little...

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 17:24

Very well, so it is to be Ave Hully and Crazy Horses. Most fitting and proper, and quite sympatico to boot. The music is settled, the guests are beginning to gather (why does that sound threatening?) Now, the garb. What are mistresses Tether and Gibbon to wear?

I am wearing a voluminous gown of electric pink tulle with a very tight corsetrage that upthrusts my lightly dusted assets and a thirty foot train of silver net dotted with little stars. My hair is eleaborately piled upon my head to display my slender neck and I have a flock of love birds nestled therein.

And welcome dear Cheerful. Bride or groom's side?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 17:25

Oh, I'm so sorry. Yes, I feel eurthymy is absolutely essential and to be undertaken by all present. Good shout.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 17:26

And what about a wedding ditty to commemmorate this splendid and unrivalled occasion? Let us don our thinking caps (while being careful not to squash the lovebirds)

CupOChristmasCheerfulYank · 23/12/2009 18:10

Hmm, shall sit with the bride's family on this most glorious occasion, all the better to make coquettish glances at her dear brother.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:13

All three brides I think you mean.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:13

Apologies. I see it was my error. My apostrophes went awry in the exitement.

CupOChristmasCheerfulYank · 23/12/2009 18:20

Eurythmy?! Of course, dear ones! I shall break out my best play silks for the occasion. Away with that black crayon, you cad!

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 18:23

Well I believe I have the perfect outfit for such an auspicious occasion - would the bride care to approve it?

Another ditty hey - will think more later, might have to go to bed now as tis 5:20am here - this sleeping lark is overrated, you know.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:31

Thumble - as a songstress I think tis perfect! Bravo! Just make sure you wear a dressing gown over the top. You don't want to steal the show ow do you? (and where are you?)

No one has admired my wedding finery yet

Oh, and I had one more thought - would it be out of the question to invite Bertha from the attic? It is a wedding! Perhaps she could come in chains?

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 18:32

Why thank you for enquiring catastro, unfortunately I was not able to adequately untangle the bloomers from my nether regions- fortunately, Gibbon's wizardry with an embroidery needle meant that the resulting mess was fashioned into a rather fetching neck ruff.

It is remarkably comfortable, as long as I lean slightly to the left at all times.

Hully, I think you've had enough ditties for one day. Not to mention grooms.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:35

Yes, but what are you two wearing?

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:36

Apart from the left leaning neck ruff that is? And shall we have canapes as well as Mimi's caviar?

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 18:36

Well, i thought to add to the effect I'd sing from the organ loft - so perhaps the dressing gown might not be necessary until the knees-up post-wedding soirée. No doubt I can find a suitable coverall!

Your dress sounds divine, my dear - not sure about Bertha though, all that rattling of chains might give the atmosphere the wrong note, iyswim. The organist might break into Bach's Toccata and Fugue in whatever key it is (Dminor?) by accident - most inauspicious.

ThumbleBells · 23/12/2009 18:37

(am in Australia btw - too hot/muggy to sleep and it's going to rain in the next few days before anyone gets excited )

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:37

Good [oint Thumble. We shall just send her up some stirrup cup and one of the less fetching members of the regiment. Perhaps Lance Corporal Ffetid.

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 18:39

Apart from the neck-ruff, I am positively dripping in taffeta. Cream taffeta, naturally. Almost white...

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:40

(Ooo Australia. Love Australia.)

I still think a dressing gown - just in case. We don't want any over excitement or inadvertent straying so early in the affair, do we?

Are you married, by the way? Perhaps we could spare you one of the company.

tethersjinglebellend · 23/12/2009 18:40

To be honest, it's one of the curtains from the great hall.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:42

Cream taffeta? Very nice. With a red cummerbund I assume? And how is dear Gibbon attired? She is most virginal and modest, I think for her we should encourage a floor length all enveloping white satin number. Loose, of course.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 23/12/2009 18:43

One of the curtains??? Have you wandered from this hall into the hall of the Sound of Music perchance?
