h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Starting to get nervous about saturday now

got my outfit, so at least ill still be ugly, but well dressed dont know what to do if anything with my har though, may colour it again.

were all meeting at the resteraunt for 5 and after the nightmare seating arrangements are over it hopefully won't be too bad. the pub after should be more fun though as we'll be shpt of the smelly rellies. i just hope too much much wine at dinner doesnt lead to me giving MIL adrunken piece of m mind or a big there will probaably be photos next week

Now why should you be nervous? If, as you seem to think, they already don't like you, the possible outcomes of the evening are:

1. They'll still dislike you.
2. They will tolerate you.
3. They'll start to like you.

So, out of the three, you have two situations where things improve and one where things stay as they are. You can't lose, so just get lairy and enjoy it.

whats to be nervous about? hmmm.. meeting andrews brother for the first time, my mum going for geds mum over the able for giving me dirty looks, me getting sloshed n telling everyone what ithink of them, genie getting sloshed n joining me..

actually it sounds quite fun <laugh.

That's true, Rich, I never thought of that.
So, Sereph, relax.

i could just be really evil instead

Sounds like a typical family meet to me!

Quick; get the BBC in to film it, make yerself a fortune, become the new Oprah Winfrey of UK, start a helpline, victim support group;your own designer fashion range; ye gods, the possibilities are endless.

Can you sing? Are you good at knots? I am getting distinct ideas about videos here. Could we get 2 legs & any other perves involved? Is Alf Garnett still alive? Jeez, this could make the Simpsons look like an utterly functional family.

Blancmange. There must be blancmange. Obviously you will bring the rats. I suggest they hide inside the cake.

It's all coming back, you know, like vomit the morning after. my marriages, of which i have 3 (so far) & 1st encounters with Mother in Law:

Number one: "You are getting the best brother, the other one is wanted by Interpol for murder"

Number two " You can't seriously wear that on your wedding day?" (A chamois leather red indian style miniskirt)

Number three "From Birmingham eh? You steal our bloody water you lot!" (Welsh family obviously)

You married a welshman? you've got poor taste...I've only dated three welsh girls and I only found out two of them were welsh after we started dating as they'd lived in brum so long they'd lost their accents.

Anyway concerning the other half's family, one of my ex's eldest brother and cousin have threatened to remove various of my extremeties if I ever try to get back together with her.

I was very disappointed when i realised ged didnt have a welsh accent

Well I survived
