How will I know it is you if you aren't bald!

Simple, just get te DJ/announcertannoy (delete as applicable depending on location) to dedicate a song to Baldymort, then simply watch for someone banging their head against a wall...  whistle:

Some years ago at a wedding where I knew very few people I approached a lady in a rather fine hat and said that my wife would like to know where she got it from. This proved a good conversation opener. I used the same line with about 10 other women in the course of the next couple of hours.

The whole thing fell apart when I saw all these women talking together and all turning to give me an evil glare scared2:

TBH I have been able to avoid weddings in the most part. Those I have attended (Own x2, Son x1 as I missed the second one and Daughter x2) have cost me mucho dosh. Why can't people just elope and make everyone happy?

I was asked by my mean sister if I would "give her away" at her second wedding. This was absurd as she was 62 at the time, but I agreed.

Present, new suit, overnight in a hotel etc. Pricey.

She sent me a copy of one of the wedding photos - and a bill for £7.50! eeek:

Because some people say they would be upset if you did that!

Going back to energy saving day for a moment. Could this be the reason British Gas have sent me two lots of energy saving bulbs through the post over the last two days. No explanation, not sent for them, they just turned up.

You must have filled out a questionnaire or something. I did years ago and get regular deliveries of energy saving bulbs biannually. See a previous thread that I cannot be arsed to look for now.

One is fecked off with chopping and changing suppliers. Also, the last organisation used did not barrage one with free light bulbs.
