The Show’s Over But This Fat Lady Ain’t Singing Just Yet

We had the last two shows on Saturday. The matinee was marred by the rugby. And I’m not even talking about the score.

Fifteen audience members and one of the cast got caught in rugby traffic, delaying the start by ten minutes. No, it wasn’t His Royal Tardiness this time. He saved his grand finale for the 6.15 show. He had invited six people, but had told them it started at 6.45pm. And they arrived late.

.o0o.

We almost reached my ultimate goal: a standing ovation.

Then I looked a bit closer. And remembered that standing ovations from parents don’t count.

it was worth a standing ovulation. But I was too hangover to stand without help. And LB's too blasé about standing ovulations.

Pah!

Thanks Dolce

But I know it wasn't really. It was like a 3-star movie - a nice evening's entertainment which doesn't tax the grey matter too much.

Parents count. Biggest fans in the world. Objective too.

Very objective Flutts

They object if anyone says anything bad about their spawn!

Bollocks.

Ja. But you're supposed to pretend that they don't.
