Last night Trev and I went to see Quartet in Cambridge - very enjoyable it was too. I would recommend it if it comes to a theatre near you or it is made into a film (apparently Dustin Hoffman has bought the rights). Now there are two things you may or may not know about Trevor. The first is that if we are out for the day and eating in a pub or restaurant he likes to eat at noon on the dot or he will begin to panic. The second is that he treats where we sit in a theatre or cinema with the strategic acumen of Julius Caesar. So we thought we had picked perfect seats. Third row up in the Circle. Then Trevor said"These are supreme seats" No sooner had he said this than a couple sat in front of us. The man was in front of me and he had the biggest head I have ever seen. Seriously, he was like a freak of nature. He was like a Wii Mii. If you have ever seen one. Unfortunaely, this was a very static play and the action was all taking place where his big fat bonce was blocking my view. What's more his girlfriend couldn't sit still either. Clearly she had got used to shifting constantly around so she could get a bit of light eclipsed by the bloke's giant noggin!. So we spent the first act craning our necks to see some of the play. Luckily, the theatre was not full so we could remove ourselves to different seats in the interval where we had an excellent view.

I can confirm he had a massive head.

Good lord! What a weird thing....and now I am trying to remember if we did indeed eat at noon in Cambridge that day......

I think it was after noon but I got him mentally prepared for it beforehand and he didn't suffer too much trauma!

He better have a snack on Saturday - I can't see us eating at 12!

How annoying about the theatre.

Of course, what is always unrecognised is my desire to ensure we do not have massive queueing or no tables at places that are busy at lunchtime. Eating at home or in someone's house or somewhere booked or clearly not busy isn't a problem.
