The issue:
I’ve been invited (with Mrs tiger and the cubs) to a Platinum Jubilee garden party at my parents in law. I think it is going to be a bit on the gammony side. For example, my brother in law recently used the word ‘magnificent’ to describe old Liz Windsor…
Do I:
A) Refuse to go on a point of principle and earn multiple reverse brownie points?
B) Agree to go whilst secretly praying it pisses down and is called off?
But B), should it not piss down leads to options:
i) Try to stay out of the way of the gammoniness and muck about with the kids as far away as possible from the festivities and agree not to have a beer so I do the driving.
ii) Get shitfaced and harangue anyone within earshot about my republican views – starting with the reddest-faced tosspot I can find.
Discuss.
