Me and the wife went to see The Calendar Girls in Bristol last night. It was good fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Charlie Dimmock was in the show as the "Considerable Bigger Buns" girl. When she was on the telly doing Ground Force she appeared quite normal, though obviously quite solid through doing a fairly manual job; however on stage she looked freakishly giant like. She was not helped by the fact that Hannah Waterman and Letitia Dean seem a lot smaller in real life. I can only assume that proper actresses are very very small and anyone normal size stood near to them looks a lot taller and bigger.
I was a bit strange that the audience consisted of about 10 blokes with their wives, whilst the the rest were groups of middle aged (and older) white women. I can only say that they obviously don't get out much as they certainly had a lot to talk about before and after the show. The noise was deafening.
Anyway now to work, whilst its lovely and sunny out today. Must cut the grass at some time and start tidying up the garden.
Update - 13:30 - I had to request copies of my wifes car insurance documents as the previous two copies didn't arrive thanks to the useless thieving git postman. Admiral Insurance appear to have Opera as their On-Hold music, how nice, but I was listening to a Best Of George Harrison album which was so much better.
Do any of your neighbours have problems with their mail ? We are really lucky here - ours ( Colin ) is great. We always give him a tip at Christmas ( money - not the 3.15 at Kempton.... ) and we are all on first-name terms. He even helped us out one year by taking all our Christmas Cards to be posted because he saw them on the porch window sill when we were talking to him one day. We know he actually did this because everyone got their cards..!!
ReplyDeleteWell I know lots of the people round here have trouble with their post as I get most of it and then put it through their letterboxes for them.
ReplyDeleteWhen they get my post they just write rude messages on it about it being delivered to the wrong address again and then stick it in the postbox.
When I phone the local sorting office to complain they don't need to know who my postman is as they get some many complaints from people on his round.
I wouldn't trust the old postman to sit the right way on a toilet let alone give him post to deliver.
