Wise wisdom for 2009

1 January 2009

Happy new year, my peeps. I hope you’ve been enjoying the holidays and, if you took part in 7 Days, that you’ve recovered by now. I went to the New Year’s party hosted by Suzy and Clara last night and I feel that many may benefit from what I learned that evening:

1. Though you’re holding a bottle of wine in each hand and you do indeed need a free hand with which to knock on the door, it’s not a good idea to tuck a bottle of wine under your arm. Shiny glass tends to glide through fleece and when your hostess opens the door she may find you on your knees, in a strange contortion, whimpering “take it from me, take it!”. She’ll most likely take the other bottle from your left hand, but it’s quite possible that she won’t even see the wine bottle that is now pinned between your left shoulder blade and your right heel. You may need to give her further guidance as to where the imperilled bottle of plonk is actually lodged before you are able to stand up again and enter the house.

2. When playing board games don’t shout at the slightly tiddly people on the opposing team when you yourself are slightly tiddly, because what you say to them may just come out as: “Don’t answer if you don’t know the heckle!”
