Having a drink with MWT
Sue and I went out on Saturday for a fabulous meal at Digby Chick's and thence for a drink (or two).
We walked into a certain pub in town to find it was very quiet, but standing at the bar was our friend, the one who came into the office to shout abuse at us both about windfarms. Well --- too good an opportunity to miss.
We doughnutted him - I stood on one side, and Sue on the other as we waited for bar service. He looked first one way, then the other, and moved rapidly to a table in the far corner.
We took our drinks, and guess where we chose to sit?!?
The panic in his eyes was really funny, and as we walked to his table, he jumped to the next table to talk to another customer.
When he went to the bar for a drink, I asked his drinking buddy who he was. As I know Carrots (for it was he) from 30 years past, we had a long and lively chat, which proved even more discomforting for our missing colleague as he wondered back from the bar. Carrots also insisted on bonding with Sue, which is euphemism for a kiss and attempted cuddle :-) He won't try that again without her permission.
On the way out, Carrots was vocal in wishing us the very best, and I laid my hand firmly on the shoulder of the Parkend ex-pat and said "See you again soon!" He just didn't know where to look or what to do.
If you dish it out, you have to be able to take it, and our friend can't ;-))

what a big brave soldier you were. i doubt you would have been so forward had you been on your own, being well aware of your 'popularity'. Just as well you had a woman with you.
