Newstead Abbey was wet.
Very wet.
Wetter than a haddock's bathing costume in fact.
Full of wet folk who sniffed loudly when I tried to open my wet bag of cheese & onion crisps (they were quite posh crisps).
Anyway, the play was good.
Just a note to the folks who were sitting near us:
- Hyphenated surnames: pick one name, Mrs. Washington-Brown.
- First initials: J. Stuart Wankerbottom, you are a pretentious twat.
- Families whose first names all begin with the same letter. Judy, John, Jack and Josie. This is wrong.
- People named after American cities: Madison, Cheyenne... how about Asbestos?
- Parents who get cute with the spelling of mundane names. "OK, we'll name him Ronald, but we'll spell it Ronyld". Excellent.
- People who insist upon pronouncing their mundane names in a "special" way: "That's CLOW-dia, not Claudia".
Oh yes, when the revolution comes and I am returned to power in a blaze of glory, anyone who appreciates the artistry of Cirque de Soleil will be shot, through the back of the head, with a service revolver.
