Fortunately/Unfortunately
My sister has a constant theme on her blog of ordering her life according to the old schoolyard game "Fortunately/Unfortunately." It goes like this:
FORTUNATELY they showed "A Very Social Secretary" on terrestrial the other night, so I could watch it!!
UNFORTUNATELY, the bloke who played Alastair didn't look at ALL like Alastair in real life.
FORTUNATELY, the slashiness between him and Robert Lindsay's Tony Blair was IMMENSE, including a scene where Alastair has been hiding in the pool while Blair meets with Blunkett, and then Alastair emerges, half-naked and DRIPPING WET, and slyly asks, "is he gone?" This is followed by a scene in which Alastair sits poolside, insolently sucking on cherries, and tells the PM, "you're a posh boy, Tony, and the voters like a bit of rough."
UNFORTUNATELY, "Waking the Dead" and "Jericho" are on at the SAME TIME tomorrow night (I think Jericho will win out, despite its being ITV).
FORTUNATELY, I bought cake and organic double cream at M&S today.
UNFORTUNATELY, the London Theatre Club is out of its specially priced tickets to see Richard E. Grant in previews of "Otherwise Engaged" next week.
FORTUNATELY, they said to call back after 10 on Monday to see if they'd managed to get some more.
UNFORTUNATELY, I really should go to bed now ...
