Who's responsible for West Drayton?

You get some odd conversations in our house. As ChrisC came in back from an emergency run to the shops on Sunday[*], the following dialogue took place:

Me: It's very exciting! Please can we go to the Camden Head on the 7th or the 8th of December, can we can we can we?
ChrisC: Are we not constrained by prelapsarian thought?

We don't usually need this kind of philisophical debate before committing to a trip up the Northern Line. However, he was way ahead of me and knew that this very exciting news might be on its way.

The Book of Job: The Musical! which I was so impressed by years ago is going to be performed again in London. For two nights.

Although apparently you're only allowed details at the moment if you do Facebook. Which I don't. Hopefully that will soon be sorted out.

If you are:

(a) in London
(b) not going to be offended by something poking fun at the Bible

then I highly, highly recommend you sort yourself out with a ticket forthwith. If you are allergic to musicals, then I suggest you think of it was an evening of comedy which might involve a guitar.

[*] Following a discovery by me halfway through making vegetable lasagne that we didn't have any tinned tomatoes. Really? What kind of household doesn't have tinned tomatoes in the cupboard? I despair.

Household: 50% Italian. (Well, 2x half-Italian, which I think still makes the household itself 50% Italian.)
Tinned tomato stock: 9 tins. (And 1 carton.)
Tinned tomatoes in cupboard: zero.

We keep them on top of the fridge.

"The top of the fridge" is a cupboard. You've just forgotten to put walls and a door on it.

A friend's household used to keep tins of tomatoes (and other veg) in the fridge. I queried this, being the sort of impolite houseguest who asks that kind of question. It was pointed out to me that, owing to the rather stupid design of the very small kitchen, there was in fact considerably more space in the fridge than anywhere else.

I like this definition, although it does reduce the available workspace even further (the bit where we keep the breadbin and the wine boxes is pretty much another cupboard for this purpose, for instance, as is the corner with the breadmaker and the slow cooker, and - currently - the toaster).

I do get quite twitchy if we have no tinned tomatoes, although luckily this very rarely happens. Picking up 8 at a time, particularly when they're on offer in the supermarket, is not uncommon.

I understand entirely. I get twitchy if I don't have lemons and garlic in the house, too.
