I've been going out with a girl,
her name is Julie
But last night she said to me,
when we were watching telly
(This is what she said)
She said listen John, I love you
But there's this bloke, I fancy
I don't want to two time you,
so it's the end for you and me
Who's this bloke I asked her
Goooooordon, she replied
Not THAT puff, I said dismayed
Yes but he's no puff she cried
(He's more of a man than you'll ever be)
Here we go, two three four
I was so upset that I cried,
all the way to the chip shop
When I came out there was Gordon,
standing at the bus stop
(And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me)
Oh, she is cruel and heartless
to pack me for Gordon
Just cos he's better looking than me
Just cos he's cool and trendy
But I know he's a moron, Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron
Here we go, two three four
Oh she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough
She is a bitch, he is a puff
Yeah yeah, it's not fair
Yeah yeah, it's not fair
(I'm so upset)
I'm so upset, I'm so upset, yeah yeah
(I ought to smash his face in.)
(Yeah, but he's bigger than me. In't he?)
(I know, I'll get my mate Barry to hit him. He'd flatten him)
(Yeah but Barry's a mate of Gordon's in'e?)
(Oh well, I don't care)
I don't care
I don't care
Cause she's a slag and he's a creep
she's a tart, he's very cheap
she is a slut, he thinks he's tough......

On Saturday 8th August this year I saw The Car Man at the Sadler's Wells. The lead Dancer Jonathan Ollivier was excellent. I left the theatre really happy. On Sunday he died in a road accident. Where were you then with your sorry attempts to enrich my life with culture?

After the show, a girlfriend and I ate at Otto's restaurant nearby. Little did I know that it was to be the centre of an anti-foie gras demonstration. We were at the table nearest the window and the loud-hailer chants were so rhythmic, "Otto, Otto, Otto, Shame on you!". It lent the occasion a certain "Je ne sais foie".

Ottos-Restaurant looking pretty huh?! Who is blocking the pavement now? NOT US for sure! #BoycottOttos #ShameOnOTTOS #BanFoieGras #StopTheCruelty ...... Are those barricades placed in there as a replacement for the police?

Stop thinking in straight lines. Whose death troubles you more? The dancer or the duck? I notice you have been silent on that issue. Easier to paint another Mohammed Ali picture than choose between 2 juxtaposed tragedies, where morality is stretched to its limit. And let's not have any easy flippant responses like "why can't both of them die?".

Please understand Geoffrey, the public spanking I just gave you was not in any way sexually motivated. It was simply a very friendly exposure of your poor judgement.
That weekend was memorable. The dance theatre really was excellent. So was the meal at Otto's despite the surprise accompaniment of the protest. I admit that I had no idea until that evening how foie gras was made by blowing up sheep inners. Then to read the Sunday news about the dancer's accident, hardly a routine Saturday and Sunday.
I am also musing about how you are wandering away from Adam's theme and he owns this thread. I am a person who likes to stick sharply to the point. At school teachers would often say "Sue, you are a person who likes to stick sharply to the point".

Re: Melbourne Story
I have enjoyed reading this as I once danced at Sadlers Wells and the ticket looked genuine enough to me.
It comes across that in this pretty difficult conversation to follow (I left my best faux pas in Sadlers Wells) poor Geoff (If I may call you that?) has been outgeoffered, or outwitted by Sideways. OK I am off to the barre, to have a pint and practice my Plies & Pirouettes......

I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later.

i had requested a ticket stub. this reproduced email would hardly stand up in a court of law as evidence. why, even a mischievous schoolboy could forge such a digital ticket. add to that the fact that 'sideways' is more cunning than a cartload of monkeys and all we are left with is mere heresay.Vicomte wrote:I have enjoyed reading this as I once danced at Sadlers Wells and the ticket looked genuine enough to me.

And you chose the direction of verbal uncertainty. Let me rescue you from your mire and congratulate you on your new word "heresay", a lovely combo of heresy and hearsay. Well done.

Re: Melbourne Story
i spelled it like that on purpose, actually. the dictionary would be a thin book indeed were it not for neologists like myself. if one hears someone say something here, it would not be erroneous to call it 'heresay'. it is only when one hears someone say something somewhere else that it becomes hearsay. in any case, should i stoop so low as to correct you every time your spelling or grammar fell below an acceptable standard, my time would be spent doing little else. unlike you, i am known as someone who always sees only the positive in a person. my mother taught me that if you can't say something nice about someone then you should just shut the fuck up, and i've always lived by that rule. that is why i am liked so much.Sideways wrote:Let me rescue you from your mire and congratulate you on your new word "heresay", a lovely combo of heresy and hearsay.

You've done it again. You are a Champion Malaprop recidivist. You wrote "that is why I am liked so much", when you obviously intended to confess "that is why I am licked so much".
