Title: Dilemma
Post by: Ralphy on Sunday, April 15, 2007, 19:43:34
On saturday my mate is getting married.

I've been invited to the evening do at a posh hotel in Faringdon. I have hired a full dinner suit for the occasion.

I also don't want to miss the Mansfield match.

I need to be at Faringdon for between 6 and 6:30pm.

The bugger is i will also need a shower before putting the suit on and i live in north Oxfordshire.

What do i do ?

By the time i get back home from Swindon it will be 5:45pm.

I then need to shower, change and drive to Faringdon :?

Contact the hotel and see if you can get a shower there. Maybe it has got a pool or gym with shower area ?

Just arrive fashionably late with a decent excuse like

'sorry I am late, I was attacked by a loony frenchman who kept throwing belgian waffles at me'.

Showering at the hotel would be ideal.

Maybe i should go to the match dressed as James Bond.

Stop being a woman. Wear the suit and smell of booze. It's not a fashion parade.

Do you not think i might look out of place in the Nationwide stand in a dinner suit?

Bring a different T shirt and change into the shirt after the game.

As sensible a solution as I can manage: game on, the two year old will make his debut, in the Family Enclosure.

Although I'm not sure how it'll work when we're hanging on at 2-1 and I'm trying to read Fireman fucking Sam.
