I can't be the only person who thinks of this every time I see this lesson title?

I think that's a recurring theme of weddings - all the footage I've seen has an MC as well. My other half went to a wedding last year where there were two weddings in the same hall - everyone was a bit embarrassed because the bigger photos and display turned out to be of the other couple, but everyone in the pictures had so much makeup on they couldn't tell until it was pointed out... The MC they had was a pair of local television celebrities, but the woman of the pair got a bit tipsy and started to make lots of suggestive jokes, and everyone apparently disapproved.

My girlfriend tells me (although I suspect just to stop me panicking), that all the games are optional, and she doesn't want them... :-p I guess we'll see at... some unspecified point... in the future.

Regarding 吃软不吃硬 - can you use just one part of it? So if someone snapped at me, could I just say 别吃硬?

Really? Not in any cinema I've ever been in, and I've lived here for all my 33 years :-p

Jenny's off on maternity leave at the moment, I believe.

Hah, no, Bodawei is right in lancing my totally biased middle class prejudice, and I'm grateful to him for it :)

To counter my own statement though, I found this interview 100 times more interesting and enjoyable than any interview with a rich businessman talking about a big new business, but that's just me :)

She tends to interview entrepreneurs? But apart from this, Jenny's on maternity leave I believe :)
