“Do you want to go
and watch that new Hugh Jackman thing?” I asked my mate. “The
musical?” he responded, “Hell yeah I want to see that.. but where
will we see it?” This question threw me slightly because we
literally only ever go to the same cinema. “Err where do you
think?” I asked. “Well..” he responded with slight irritation,
“It's a musical isn't it so how the fuck am I supposed to know?”
“It's still a film though” I stated whilst still confused. “Oh”
he said with an obvious realisation that I was about to take the piss
out of him. “Did you think it was a live show?” I asked whilst
knowing full well that he had. “Well ..yeah” he answered sheepishly
“But it's an easy mistake to make isn't it?!” ...“You thought that
Hugh Jackman was doing a live musical show
around here.. in the
arse-end of nowhere.. and not only was I asking if you were interested
the day before but that tickets would still be available for us to
just rock up with zero notice?” “Yes” he snapped whilst now on
the defence. “Well, I'm sorry to disappoint” I said remembering
that he was the same person that once thought a double cheese-burger
meant that he'd get a single burger with double cheese on top. “Do
you still want to come?” I checked. “Yeah” he said, “But can
you do me a favour? When you write about this film in your blog can you
not tell people that it was me who thought I'd be seeing Hugh Jackman
live?” “That's not a problem, Kris” I promised, “Nobody will
ever know it was you”.
