God forbid Robin! What if you're stuck in the middle row of a long-long row
full of adoring Patricks (sorry Patrick!) how do you get out if it's even
worse than on the box. And would you leave before the finish if you'd just
taken out a second mortgage to see it? At least at home it comes 'free' -
and you can drink and smoke or sleep through it to alleviate the pain. And
Alison my petal - I performed my civic duty beyond its call as I wanted to
know if the Xian's had a point. I think they had a point it just wasn't the
same as mine.
Must be off to watch something watchable - I've recorded Midsommer
Murders - ah - real culture at last!!
TTFN,
G.
