I would have been exactly the same in the theatre (except perhaps not unlucky enough to find myself sitting next to the Ugliest Man in the World's evil twin), but secretly love going to things like that on my own - no arguments over minstrels v popcorn, shall we/shan't we get a programme, etc. <BR/><BR/>As for light of flickering despond the one good thing about flourescent lights (perhaps the only good thing) is that they're extremely easy to get rid of and you can just swap them with an inoffensive replacement from Homebase for under about 30 quid. Also, as you'll probably have already noticed, they're very good for catching flies.<BR/><BR/>LBD xLITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-13586866629386054262007-10-07T11:25:00.000-11:002007-10-07T11:25:00.000-11:00Your blog made me laugh out loud, so funny.

Equally I went through a phase, as a student, of going to see ANYTHING. I once found myself watching the stage production of Winnie the Pooh. I was the only adult there without a child in tow. It was a good show though! xx PMMaggie Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047691937064748860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-53112685396020709222007-10-02T22:11:00.000-11:002007-10-02T22:11:00.000-11:00Lovely blog Jane; very funny but oh how I relate t...Lovely blog Jane; very funny but oh how I relate to that sacrificing mother thing (obviously I don't actuaklly mean sacrificing one's mother, though the thoght does sort of appeal!!!!) xxPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-52196747496007669962007-10-02T21:22:00.000-11:002007-10-02T21:22:00.000-11:00Jane, there's an award for you over at my placeCry...Jane, there's an award for you over at my place<BR/>Crystal xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-82985643070426975212007-10-02T00:06:00.000-11:002007-10-02T00:06:00.000-11:00I have an award for you on my blog.I have an award for you on my blog.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-46618235876021119632007-10-01T22:45:00.000-11:002007-10-01T22:45:00.000-11:00What 'sad woman all alone in row F'?

Apart from being quite the youngest in the audience, I was seated on my own in the middle of the row. No hope of looking like I belonged to another group. And all the other women in audience looked at me like "Why are you here? You have no idea what it's like." Little did they know I know exactly what it's like and laughed very loudly during the show.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677133322409652783.post-32299302270210580702007-10-01T05:04:00.000-11:002007-10-01T05:04:00.000-11:00Jane you are very funny.
