I need to be in the game #1 (permalink) Thu May 26, 2011 7:37 am   I need to be in the game
 

Hi,
Will you tell me what it is "I WANT TO BE IN THE GAME!" and I will tell you whether you can count on me.
One of the reasons I moved from London to Brighton at the age of 35 was to chase a man (got him), but another was that I wanted to avoid the fate of the middle-aged female celebrity who a friend saw in a fashionable restaurant yelling at her agent "I WANT TO BE IN THE GAME! I NEED TO BE IN THE GAME!"
Regards.

The celebrity might have literally wanted to be in a game-show which she was discussing with her agent, but it is more likely that she was telling him she wanted to be noticed and she wanted to remain in the public eye.
