Hey give us a break, I only wrote it last night at the last minute before heading out to the ENO. I was just about to proof it!
Honestly some people..

I have an extra key like a spellchecker .It picks up the word "pedantic" and highlights it for me.So, dear Abi, could you swap "acutely" for "chronically" as we all know that you are an even, sweet-tempered lady most of the time.

What's an ENO?

Chris and I went to see Handel's L'Allegro. Which isn't really opera as the singers are off stage and you have dancers leaping all over the place!

Sounds like fun, but why the bad mood then?

I like some of Handel's stuff when I'm in the mood, but I never quite got the hang of his operas. (Not that he wrote many, AFAIK.) Could't quite put my finger on why though.

Alcina's good - so is Rinaldo. That's where the Harrod's sale music comes from.

I'll leave EV to supply the Brazilian footballer pun - he was complaining recently when someone got to the obvious gag before he did!
I'm not familiar with that one. I shall see if I can remember the name long enough to give it a try...

The thought never even crossed my mind. *whistles innocently*

It did cross mine, but I thought better of it.
