A local Romeo is in the doghouse this evening, after killing the romance of Christmas with his stupid film commentary.
Snuggled up on her five-seater sofa, The Advocate understands local girl Lily Hastings was tonight thoroughly enjoying one of her cherished Christmas pastimes, watching ‘Love Actually’ and tucking into a box of Favourites.
Having spent the first half of the movie indulging in the sight of prime Hugh Grant, Christmas edition, Lily was understandably feeling a little drunk on the romance of the festive season, and was even feeling a little inspired to start wrapping some presents.
However after just finishing up mowing the lawn in the summer twilight, Lily’s boyfriend, James (29) decided he’d skip taking a shower and instead plonk himself on the couch and join her little movie binge.
Spotting a semi-familiar face on screen, Alan Rickman, James decided he’d partake in one of Lily’s least favourite acts, asking questions about what was going on in the film.
“Oi, it’s that bloke from Harry Potter, haha!” James exclaimed, as he helped himself to a Crunchie from the box.
“Didn’t that Snape guy die?!”
Furious that her dumb boyfriend could so ignorant as to bring up the childhood trauma of the death of Alan Rickman, Lily huffed in anger and threw her collection of empty choccie wrappers into his lap.
“What, you knew that didn’t you?” James asked, oblivious to the fact that Lily considered Alan Rickman’s death as being her first experience of celebrity grief.
“Yeah of course I know that,” fired back Lily, picking up the remote and turning the TV off in anger.
“Forget it, I’m going to go call Mum, she wants help planning Christmas lunch.”
