Répondez s'il vous plaît

I went to Suzie for a haircut today. I seem to see her once a year for a short short cut. Last time I went to see her was last summer. My usual hair stylist is on holidays (note stylist not dresser). Suzie mentioned that Marisa must like me with short hair. I agreed - I also mentioned that I have been getting hints to get a haircut, especially that Ecks' baptism is coming. Hence, here I am, with a similar cut to Ecks.

Marisa is currently preparing the seating arrangement as I type this. She had a chat to the restaurant owner and he said that Italians never R.S.V.P. If I had my way, there would be a list on the door, if you show up and your name is not on the list, you not just pay for yourself, you sit by yourself, away from the people who know what R.S.V.P means. You are not going to turn back because it's an ego thing, so might as well put you on the naughty corner. If you don't show up, well thanks for not telling, we were just being polite to invite you anyway..
