  1. morning Duncan :grin:

    i like the quote – it reminded me of something that happened a long long time ago….. ;)

    i was visiting a friend in london and we were giggling our way around in trendy student attire of the time – dungerees and odd shoes :oops: we decided to take in a matinee and noticed a show starring (can’t remember) but a well known very funny comedian. Perfect for an afternoon after a liquid lunch we think.

    so we buy our restricted view tickets and sneak in (those were the days when people dresses for the theatre :roll: ) only to find that this rip roaring commedy was in fact an excrutuatingly boring monolog about adoph hitler – and so serious that even a slight titter would get you thrown out :sad:

    oh to be young an deliquent again!! :lol:

    ps nobbly – i don’t care if its spelt wrong!!! :raz:

  2. I’ve got no patience to sit through something if I’m not enjoying it.

    I’ve walked out of many ‘plays’ put on during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

    Tip – if visiting the festival, avoid any Russian/Scandanavian ‘dramas’ performed by University drama students !!!

    P.S. ignore the ‘reviews’ about what a ‘fantastic’ etc interpretation/performance it is on the publicity handouts. The bastards write those themselves !!!

  3. I can never sit still long enough to watch a play or a movie :oops:
