Another Theatrical 'bit Of A Rant'

[sunny-dave]

Great afternoon - got last minute tickets for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - ribs still hurting from laughing.

So why the rant?

Well ... I'm not a small bloke, so I sort of expect to be able to use all of my own seat. Which I was doing until the neighbouring seat was filled (and I mean filled) by a barrage balloon in female form.

Which then expanded over/under/round the dividing arm, into what I had fondly been regarding as my personal space.

I haven't sat so intimately close to a stranger for quite a while - every time she laughed my ribs went in and out too.

It wasn't nice & I just don't think it was fair or acceptable - at the very least she should have been on the end of a row, with room to expand into the aisle.

I should point out that the seats at the Hippo in Brum are actually a decent size - there was a decorous inch or two of space between me and my other (not small) neighbour.

I took action at half-time - building a wall under the seat arm with a borrowed bag and a couple of programmes - which caused some huffing and puffing from the whale, but preserved my privacy a bit.

Rant over

slightly squashed dave xx

The thing that surprises me is that you found the show funny

[gness]

You're with me on that then, Weecalf?

[sunny-dave]

How can you dislike a show which re-defines "Countryside" as "Killing Russell Brand"?

[gness]

Dave...I'm a huge radio fan...but that show leaves me cold.....x

"You wouldn't dare sit behind me!"

Guess you've got other health problems too, gness...?

[gness]

No, Jim....but I demand complete silence and no fidgeting if you sit anywhere near me.....☻

When we meet for coffee it'll be the most boring thing ever if I can't talk or pick my cup up!

Quite so, UKSWF - and I will treasure the memory of Tim singing "Girlfriend in a Coma" to the tune of "Tiptoe through the Tulips" :)
