In an effort to do more interesting things,
I decided to support a friend who was starring in a community pantomime. I met
with another friend and had an excellent meal; the Wetherspoons Christmas roast
to be precise. Then we set off early as I knew that the venue would take some
finding. After circulating the area twice, we still managed to arrive twenty
minutes early; albeit to a fairly empty car park. However, inside were the
production crew dismantling the set for the weekend. It turned out that the
evening performance was for Saturday only, which my friend failed to inform us.
Wanting to make the best of a night out, we decided on either bowling or ice
skating; and a quick search on Google informed us that we were able to get to
Solihull in time for the last ninety minutes of a skating disco. However, this
was to be an ice hockey match in progress. So after a fifty-mile journey, we
ended up losing our local pub quiz less than half a mile from where we first
agreed to meet. When you try to make things happen, you just can’t win.
