Almost 30...


I confronted Philippa about the ‘Luxury Weekend Marriage Special’ and she was shocked.
“Of course I haven’t booked that you stupid bastard.” she said “For a start I want you to marry me when you want to, I’m not going to trick you into it. And for another thing, have you looked at the PRICE?? We could have a three-week honeymoon for the amount it would cost to get married there.”
“A-HA!” I shouted, “So you DID look at the wedding stuff!”
“Of course I did, shit-for-brains. It’s plastered all over the website. You have to fight through it all before you get to the Bookings section. And I have to be honest, IF we like the hotel and IF that’s the kind of wedding you’d like then I did think that MAYBE we could talk about it sometime, but that’s NOT the point of this weekend.”
I can remember a time when Philippa wouldn’t have used phrases like ‘stupid bastard’ and ‘shit-for-brains’
I can’t imagine what’s made her change…..
