      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        So there's another limo on it's way to fetch me.

        Girly was telling me off 'cause 5l of wine was drunk at our little table last night. So we have to be a little more reserved as this is the 'private party' and people might talk.

        I have to say, she worries too much, there's a good few who can't make it because of this cloud thingy from Iceland, so it'll be cozy.
        So let me get this straight. You're informed about the gig last minute and told it's "a small do, just for family really"

        Sounds like a nonvitation to me. A complete unvite.

        The socially awkward thing to do would be to actually turn up not having realised.

        I would be more annoyed by their assuption that you wouldn't already have plans on a Friday evening.

          Maybe you left one of your glass slippers behind last night. That does sometimes happen in fairy stories.

            I just had an unvite; it involved travelling to another country for an evening do. I feel bad about declining, but when I consider it, how damn rude was it for them not to invite me to the ceremony and reception if I had to pay for flights and 2 nights in a hotel?

              Which is nice.
              Yeah? Big deal. I shagged her.

                I am her, which is nice.
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  You must put down your books and go to bed.
                  Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
                  My head's too light to try to set it down!
                  Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight.
                  Not for all the jewels in the crown!
                  I could have danced all night!
