The Boy has recently graduated with a degree in Drama.
I have an old friend who is an actor. He is very successful. He has done TV (2 current BBC series!), film, radio, theatre. Tomorrow his successful play transfers into the West End.
He has offered to meet the Boy and talk to him about methods of getting work, contacts and so on. The Boy's reaction? "He's older than you!" facepalm:
A decision in principle has been made that The Boy and I go to London (I pay), see the play (I pay), meet the cast (mainly high profile Americans) and go backstage, then go out for dinner with my mate afterwards (I pay), then stay in an hotel overnight (I PAY Banghead Banghead Banghead ).
All I need is a date from The Boy...............................................
It seems he is busy loafing about.............. Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead
He is finding it hard to find a date in his hectic diary while he is unemployed noooo:

Should have had him cleaning chimneys and none of this iPhone malarkey

After graduating in June she had to 'take the summer off ' to enable her to attend the sixty millionteen festivals and raves that had been prebooked. noooo:
She has only 'just got around' to applying for jobs noooo:
However saying this she went for an interview last week and the second interview this week and has been offered a full time , paying job eeek: eeek: eeek:

By next Friday night I expect the moaning to commence ( more moaning).
She has already stated that she will be blowing her 1st months pay packet so I shouldn't expect any money back like what she owes me noooo:
Then of course it is her birthday and then Christmas ...yadda ,yadda , yadda
