Oh, this house is rocking with glee and laughter, she received the funniest (peculiar) email yesterday!
This was how it started.. she received an email from someone whose name was unknown to her asking her to contact them (by telephone) with reference to me, my mama, who can be mighty cautious, replied saying 'I have absolutely no idea who you are'.
Back came an email saying 'I am the niece of so&so, we met in 2011 in a pub and I want to borrow GeeGee to do a commercial, please call me, this is my mobile. Lots of love'.
'Met once in a pub, BORROW GeeGee, lots of love', what in hell is this woman smoking or taking?
She called a very old friend who is the ceo. of a VERY prestigious Advertising Agency and read the email out to them.. the response was a squeal of laughter that was probably heard as far out as Wimbledon! The friend then told her what to write back..
She responded to once-met-in-a-pub-niece with the following details.. 'Daily rate for GeeGee, daily rate for herself as handler, daily insurance rate for GeeGee against injury, loss and biting.. Total of DAILY rate £.....'
And received the, forever more to be a classic in our family history, email.. 'oh, I thought you would do it for free because it would be fun for GeeGee'.
FUN FOR GEEGEE?
Oh.. lookielookie, Dear Readers, a stranger's ear to crunchy-munch. And so, as in the immortal title of that brilliantly silly BBC comedy show starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice.. we say..
'SOME MOTHER'S DO 'AVE 'EM'.
I rest my case.. Your Honour.. there ARE people out there much madder than us. Now she has to shake a leg for she has to go and collect a package which, hopefully, has arrived from Cousin Bruce.
No Eclipse for us here in deepest, DARKEST Knightsbridge, the sky is grey with not even a hint of those exciting things that are happening up there.. sigh.
GeeGee Parrot.
