It's just you. If you really don't understand "it's too far ahead", take
it from me that he meant "no". That's obvious to me even though I have
no idea who Paul Rodgers is.

Nah, his exact words were, "Wow, I'd love to see Paul Rodgers but it's just
to far ahead to know what I'll be doing in April". Even though I was drunk
when I posted this last night (after works christmas do) his attitude still
doesn't make sense to me now when I'm sober.

What's wrong with that statement? I haven't a clue what I'll be doing
in April, I could be sat on me bum doing nothing of flying around the
world working. The former is most likely unless the date happens to
be a Saturday in which case I might be (working) at a footy match.

Hmm, he has got kids but I thought that the school year was mapped out and
tabled in advance so that parents know when holidays are? We haven't got
kids so I don't know about such things.

They are if you have the nouse and/or can be arsed to look.

It's surprising how many people don't know how to google stuff, or even
suppose that it might even exist.

I do suppose that East Sussex country council *will* publish the term
dates for the entire year - but I also know that it will be impossible
to locate via their website - so GoogleTime...

What they don't publish are the endless bloody "inset days" that involve
me or SWMBO taking another day off to cover. Sure we never had those
(2/term) 30 years ago...

FFS I get 30 days annual leave + B/H and I use it *all* just covering
this stuff...

OTOH you can also find school terms for regions in France, Belgium etc -
so it is possible to plan a half-term break there when their grotty oiks
are still in school - that's priceless

Is he under 30? I remember in ye olden dayes before mobile phones I
used to plan my social life a week ahead - might agree to meet someone
in the George and Dragon at 7pm next Thursday, and we would both be
there (give or take ten mins). Now no one under 30 will commit to
anything more than 6 hours away, and even then there probably won't be
a definite time, you'll just text when you're nearby. Everything is
fluid. Even if you can persuade anyone to agree to something next
Thursday it will be the vaguest of commitments and is likely to be
dropped if something better comes up, or just because they forgot. No
point fighting it, that's just how people organise their lives.

It still does to me. And unless you decided to buy a ticket for him, I'd
say that in the end that's what it meant to you too.

It sounds very much like a "no" to me too. In other words, although he
is interested, he's not keen enough to make a commitment at this stage.

So it means "no", but not in the sense of "no I don't fancy it" but more
like "if you need to get the tickets now, then don't get one for me; but
if, come April, I'm still at a loose end, and tickets are still available,
I may well join you".

I've never heard of this opera singer either. I certainly wouldn't fancy
a whole evening of listening to one person sing highlights, I'd rather see
a whole opera.

Well, yes, that's how we've left it. I didn't get a ticket for him but he'll
come if tickets are still available and he can make it. The point I don't
understand about it all though is that we're very big fans of Paul Rodgers
and would normally crawl over broken glass to get a ticket. 6 of us (7
including myself) have bought tickets, 3 others would do but already know
they can't make it due to other committments and he just doesn't know.

I've never heard of this opera singer either. I certainly wouldn't

I'm sure there should have been a smiley in there because Paul Rodgers is
far from an opera singer, as you'd know if you googled his name. Paul
Rodgers was frontman of the legendary Free, Bad Company and now Queen - and
his tour will include hits from all three era's.

Not at all. They're firemen and already have their rosters/shift patterns
set out. All three are on the same watch and can't get anyone to swap with
them. The guy in question though, is in a steady 9-5 job and knows there
won't be any work committments stopping him from going.

Having just had a look at Blackpool Opera House forthcoming shows I can
assure you that you are very unlikely to see an opera there.

Not many people want to watch the fat lady sing.
