You may have wanted to say no, and it would be nice to be given taht option.... If they were using it as an excuse to make you feel bad for not accepting their wedding invitation without an invitation for L too - they that is pretty despicable really... Presents are hard. Especially when you get to our sort of age. You can't exactly buy a toaster, and therefore anything less tahn expensive and huge seems mean! BTW I like your blog. Partly because you seem to be my fan, despite my having been very rude to you, and secondly because you are very funny. And you ARE a romantic! Who'd have thought it Norm?!

I am not a good man but by the same token nor am I a bad arsed dude. Noble? knobhead more like. Plonkers, yes. Deliberately unkind, I think not. The good thing is I am off the hook for buying a bloody present. Minx - you are too kind. I am not a good man but by the same token nor am I a bad arsed dude.

And that is enough. A noble man, too. Your soon-to-be-married friends are a right pair of plonkers, I might add... You are a good man.

And that is enough.

A noble man, too.

Your soon-to-be-married friends are a right pair of plonkers, I might add…

In fact the invitation was only sent about 10 days ago when I was in Belgium for Lucky Jims funeral. DL- Maybe you are right about the romantic. Maybe those around me see things clearer than I do. I would rather that JH had not mention Bob M. I am sure that Bob is a wonderful loving father (hmm), but trust me you really don't want to sample his hospitality.

Perhaps fear of "MIL's wrath" is just how you're justifying it to yourself? Re JH's comment, above: Mugabe's house guest? You get about a bit, don't you? Reckon you’re a bit of a romantic, UN.

He told us that he had mentioned the best man thing to you ages ago. Of course thinking about it you were Mugabes house guest at the time. Peter P can be a prat.
