Two old dears go to the theatre

[gness]

Hi Gness, Fancy seeing The Rivals at The Lighthouse? Wed or Thurs?
Great, G&T. Thurs suits me.
Okay Gness Thursday at 7 in the bar. First one there gets the drinks in. :-)

My friends always do this because I have to be early everywhere so I always end up getting the drinks in. Or they hide around the corner til they see me go in.

Love dressing up for the theatre so, in my killer heels, black floaty stuff and bling I get to the car park at ten to seven. One other car there...odd.
Tottering on the heels I go into the theatre. One young lad...dishy...is behind the desk. I try to look casual.....he ignores me.
I go to the bar.....empty...not a soul.
Back to the desk. Young man....I say.....is there a show on here tonight? Errr no.....he says.
Oh God! Where should I be? No mobile to contact G&T.
G&T arrives. Bit empty...she says....not many tickets sold?
Only our two it seems...I reply. There is no performance on tonight!
Well I have tickets....she announces sharply. She was our Deputy Head and still does the assembly voice.
Show me......I challenge.
She did.......Two tickets for The Rivals....WEDNESDAY 14th!!!!!!!
The young man smiled......Looks like a night in the pub ladies...he says.
Do you have a friend I ask? Well you know me....ever hopeful. ;-)

Which is how two old dears ended up, blinged up to the eyeballs, supping pints in the local pub.

Gness, been there, seen it, done it as the saying goes. At least you found a suitable hostelry to pass away the time.

Dave, you having the same temp avatar as Factor30 is V confusing......

Eccles We arrived at the suitable hostelry at the same time as a coach party of odd people for their Christmas dinner! Oh joy!

[EcclesCake]

Gness similar happened to me few years back bought 2 tickets for the Havering open air concert in the park with orchestra- Land of Hope & Glory the works etc. paid good money too, pal came over for the weekend [ CS working aroad] on Sunday we carted a table for two,folding chairs , tablecloth, vase with flowers,champagne flutes,hamper laden with goodies and plonked ourselves down with the Sunday papers, thought we might be a tad too early as we could hear scaffolding being erected and could see in the distance a stage being completed fof the concert. WRONG--- a passer by out with dog out of curiosity asked us what we were doing then went into uncontrolable laughter the concert had been the night before and they were dismantling the stage ! no we did not brazen it out we crept away with our tail between our legs, If only I had looked at the tickets !

[gness]

Ho Lord Dee!!! That's ten times worse. At least I only had to totter to the pub. :-)

[DTCwordfan]

Oh gawd, never been shagged before I think it happened....where's my folding chair?
