--- Quote from: pwhodges on 24 Feb 2013, 08:47 ---But why would an old friend of Veronica's be invited to this wedding? - I find it strange enough (based on related experience!) that Veronica has been.

That's why I think if it's a friend, it's a friend that met them while they were a couple, who Veronica kept in touch with after the divorce but hasn't seen since.

jesslc:
Okay, pwhodges has a point about Jane

So I'm revising my story to: Jane is an old friend of Henry's, who meets Veronica through Henry, and either
1. She gets into the business around the same time as Veronica (which leads to the friendship/rivalry dynamic with Veronica that we just saw). or
2. She is already in the business when she meet Henry's new girlfriend, Veronica (and the fact that Veronica is in the same line of work as her helps build their friendship, but with just a bit of rivalry)


I don't think it odd that Veronica has been invited. If they weren't on good terms it'd be odd, but it's been mentioned many times that Henry and Veronica are friends. My mum is on good terms with both my dad and his new partner. If my dad eventually decides to marry his partner, I'd be more surprised if my mum didn't get an invite than if she did. (We've already had Christmas one year at mum's house with dad, his partner, my brother, my brother's girlfriend, my other brother, and I). Maybe my family (and Marten's) is the exception not the rule though.

Carl-E:
I don't think she's necessarily "in the business", the gonorrhea and  cock-sucking comments could well have been personal.   :-\

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 23 Feb 2013, 11:55 ---See, the problem with that she goes by both Veronica Vance and Veronica Reed, which would mean that she only changed her last name for her nom de porn. That doesn't mean she doesn't go by Vicky now and again, nicknames don't always make sense. (Seriously, how the hell is Peggy short for Margaret?)

--- End quote ---

In the same way "Kate" is short for "Bob", I assume.  :-D

Apologies for the Black Adder joke, I'll try to behave...

--- End quote ---
No apology needed. It's probably the best comedy series ever written IMHO.

OT: Big britcom fan here, Black Adder, Bottom, Monty Python, 'Allo 'Allo, Fawlty Towers (list too long to continue). Also, my favourite writers are Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett & Robert Rankin. There may be a trend here.

Method of Madness:
I've only seen the third series, so I didn't get that one (and if that was third series it's been nearly a decade), so I may have missed that one. I should watch the whole bit, it's all on Netflix.
