It's official, I am an idiot
Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 17:00 I can't believe it.
Three months ago I was invited to attend a private reception followed by a concert and supper at the Royal Festival Hall.
We were promised a "fabulous evening of Hollywood Soundscapes" and "entertainment inspired by the glamour of Hollywood".
Better still, "Our post-concert supper promises to entertain and enlighten with our guest speaker Joanna Lumley providing a fascinating insight into working in show business and alongside many Hollywood greats".
I was really looking forward to it.
But last night, as the London Philharmonic Orchestra played their Hollywood Soundscapes and Joanna Lumley stood up to entertain and enlighten, I wasn't there.
I got the date wrong. I thought the event was on Friday 21st October.
How could I have been so stupid? I really am a complete idiot.

You obviously need the new I-Phone 4S with the personal assistant Siri. Just speak to 'her' and tell 'her' to remind you of an appointment etc and 'she' will.
Getting like Star Trek isn't it? :)
Silly boy.
But it is a good job that you are not on a Jobseeker's 'Employment Programme'. If you were, and got the date of an appointment wrong, you could be 'sanctioned' (fined) 26 weeks benefit - that's about £1400.
That happened to the son of a relative of mine, but by dint of writing lots of letters and doing a lot of study, I got it reduced to about £400. Still a whacking sanction (fine) for failing to turn up at a totally useless, so-called 'Employment Programme'.
I think that you should be 'sanctioned' to the extent of 26 weeks salary - by your wife!
Well I can not say anything because I don't know you, but I think nobody is able to know you as you do... So mayube yeah, you're an idiot.
