What costume shall the poor girl wear to all tomorrows parties?

Inbjudningarna till det brittiska kungabröllopet har tydligen skickats ut nu. (Det tar väl några dagar extra innan de kommer till oss i Sverige, inga konstigheter.) För att förbereda mig inför denna fantastiska fest kollade jag upp vad jag förväntas ha på mig.


Uniform har jag inte, morgonrock känns ju lite väl Hugh Hefner så jag gick in på min bästa brittiska klädfirma för att se vad de hade att erbjuda av lounge-karaktär:

Gud så praktiskt! Såna där kläder har jag redan!

Gaddafi eller Khaddafi

LEO: Margaret. Please call the editor of the New York Times crossword and tell him that Khaddafi is spelled with an h, and two d’s, and isn’t a seven letter word for anything.
MARGARET: Is this for real? Or is this just funny?
LEO: Apparently, it’s neither.

Later still, Leo phones the New York Times himself. During his telephone conversation, he is joined by C.J. CREGG, the press secretary.

LEO: [on phone] Seventeen across. Yes. Seventeen across is wrong. You're spelling his name wrong. What's my name? My name doesn't matter. I'm just an ordinary citizen who relies on the Times crossword for stimulation. And I'm telling you, that I've met the man twice, and I've recommended a preemptive Exocet Missile strike against his airforce. So, I think I know how to...
C.J.: [in shock] Leo!
LEO: [looking at the phone, then hanging up] They hang up on me. Every time.
C.J.: That's almost hard to believe.

DN och SvD stavar namnet olika. Det irriterar mig.
