I really wanted to go. Wanted to join in the fancy dress! BUT- friends from Scotland are coming to visit! Good news!- Since the only times our team have won away have been when Mr Wiggy and I have been in Scotland at this couple's house, it stands to reason that them coming to our house is the next best thing!!!! Bad news! The woman has always had a thing about Mr Wiggy and flirts with him all the time and even finds little niggly ways to criticize me and put me down. I have to try and smile sweetly and ignore it! If it was the other way around, and the husband flirted with me, Mr Wiggy would deck him and never allow him in our house again!!! They knew him before I did. Mr Wiggy met him when they were both in the Army. I think if he (Mr Wiggy) had married a princess she wouldn't have been good enough- it's like having a reincarnated mother-in-law!! Both my daughters say she's being a silly old thing and I should ignore it and just feel sorry for her!!! (The feeling isn't mutual! She's older than me. But of course, he laps up the flattery!!!) What with Charles and Camilla- and this revelation, you young ones must think we oldies are disgraceful!!!! Since I've got to forgo going to Rochdale- she'd really better watch it this time. I really will feel like decking her!!!!

Sounds like you should come as Lady Mcbeth There's a theatrical superstition about that play.It should not even be named!! 'Tis called "The Scottish Play!!" I remember in "Blackadder" once, there were too rather camp actors- and every time they said te name of the play, they had to recite a little rhyme and do a dance to take the curse away! I remember a lot of quotes from the play- we did it for A level and our English teacher us to watch it at Ludlow Castle. I remember that Lady MacBeth challenged her husband by saying, "Art thou the same in valour as thou art in desire!!"

I'm miffed about not being able to go as well - Got a friend's wedding at 2pm. You would have thought they would have checked all the relevant footy fixtures before booking the big day? The real downer is that until the New Year it was booked for the week before Perhaps I should have sent my appologies declaring a 'previous engagement'.
