A midwinter nightmare (probably best forgotten)

Post by sejintenej »

Looking through odd (and some even odder) sites I came across the following advert by someone whose name I recognised on the University of Manchester Christian Union site:

there will be a production of shakespeares a midsummer nights dream witha difference, its the play combined with 2 other plays stags and hens by willy russel and Cooking with elvis by lee hall, the show will cost £3 for students and will take place at the robert powell theatre in salford ( 2 mins walk from salford crescent train station) due to contrary belief salford is actually only 5 mins away from manchester city. it starts me so it would be good to see you there!

consider for yourselves if this is grammer that housey teaches! I won't embarrass the perpetrator by naming him, her or it.

Your sins will seek you out!

No. it's "Anon" as in "A nonny mouse" or should it be "A nonny nonny mouse"?

As for " D.O B. 3rd February 19**" that really dates you though I suppose it's slightly better than "....18**". :lol:

It was -=hidden=- when I wrote it. I would hardly be D.O B. 20** now would I?

Just goes to show exactly how cheap beer and spirits are in a Uni bar !

Doesn't say a lot for the Christian movement, either !
