Potential dilemma of hideous proportions...

KT17 · Mar 22, 2016

Just planning diary with football contingencies.

There's a possibility we could wind up at Wembley on 28th May, in a game starting at 5.00pm.

My wife's niece gets married at 1.00pm that day, in Dorchester, been in our diary for a year, we're even lending them a car as their going-away vehicle.

Potentially feck and double feck!

Would I

1. Try to break up the relationship?

2. Hire a helicopter?

3. Throw a sickie and be forever parted from two beloved treasures?

Final is on the 26th, unless u you're planning on going to the league two final

Baby due on May 22nd. Is it acceptable to leave the wife alone with our first born? (If he shows up on cue of course).

Helicopters are expensive. However, the old adage 'plenty more fish in the sea' applies so split them up!

Problematically he's a (self-made) millionaire, so her family might not see my work as entirely altruistic!

[Maybe he could stand me the helicopter!]

Motorbike ?

Google says it's 2h25 from Dorchester to Wembley, if you ride "Enthusiastically" you could see the service and be at Wembley by half four.

If it were me, however, I'd just tell them "sorry, I'm going to miss it"

Set fire to the church?

Kill them.

Good answer. Half an hour at the reception, slip out, no-one will notice or care, ride like the wind, park near Wembley, cushti. Just need a plausible excuse to phone in to the missus (we're meant to be staying there the weekend with her Mum), any ideas?

Or ride back for the arse end of the reception circa 10pm?

Thanks - it's on the list

I wouldn't worry it's only a football match.

Try hiring the TARDIS for the day, that should sort you out.

Lending them a car? Are you sure that this chancer that your niece in law is getting hitched to is a millionaire? I'd investigate further; if it turns out he's a pathological liar the wedding's off, and your wife's folks are eternally grateful.
