To make amends for a big mistake I’d done over the weekend (forgot about a date…) I took my good buddy out to a nice restaurant, and then to a bar to relax. Now, don’t you hate it when the perfect evening gets ruined through no fault of your own? Our time spent in the restaurant was lovely, we both had a great time. Things went horribly wrong when we visited a pub where Karaoke (we didn’t know) night was just beginning….Oh boy.
We weren’t facing the stage so we had no idea. One minute we were enjoying ourselves chatting away (roughly below), and then the following happened:
Me: "Yeah, I dunno. Kids nowadays just don’t have the respect that previous generations of kiddies had"
Taz: "I wonder what you’d be like with kids!"
Me: "I’d be fine with em, kinda grew up around them as my mum was a childminder"
Taz: "hmmm <insert cheesy smile>"
Me: "what?"
Taz: "Nothing!"
Me: "Why you staring at me like that?"
Taz: "Well…."
<Some pleb on stage behind us starts singing, LOUD>
Pleb: "#From the very first moment I saw you, That’s when I knew, All the dreams I held in my heart, Had suddenly come true…#"
<Both of us turn around to see said pleb half drunk trying to sing David Gray - Be Mine.>
Me: "Uhm"
Pleb: "#Come on baby it’s all right, Sunday Monday day or night!#"
Taz: "hmmm"
Pleb "# What’s the difference anyway, Baby till your heart belongs to me#"
Me: "Hate Karaoke…"
<Both of us leave>
Thanks Pleb! You ruined our night with slurred lyrics that made both of us bloomin uncomfortable! Ah well, at least it wasn’t James "Mah life is brilliant" Blunt.
mate
date
one letter of difference, but if she’s just your mate, it’s not a date, if it is a date, she’s not your mate!
etc.
I’m confuddled now!
Don’t you start! I’m still hearing that beach boys tune in my head!
It was a sort of date, even though Darren (congrats btw!) refuses to say it
He’s been a bit puzzled lately 
Go uncle!
Why the congrats by the way? What has happened to him now??
PS. Come and see us soon!
I demand Taz pictures!
and Darren ones!
and everyone should get a myspace account
She’s about as camera shy as me so you’ve got no sodding chance
Although with the 360 cam on the way you’ll no doubt see me soon enough! /me slaps Kami for mentioning the myspace…
good good! I will have photoshop at the ready!
Ayesha, there was a lunch party on Fri 26th. After that he was taken into the production manager’s office and given a payrise. The biggest the company has seen in 8yrs
He’s still in shock I think!
/me slaps repeatedly with a king shrimp thing…
Nice to see the readers staying on topic
Oooh! surely you two should go out and celebrate! I’ve known him for ages and he doesn’t get out enough. I think you two should have a candle-lit meal, some champagne and get married.
There you go, sorted. Who’s next?!
Oooh he’s away to see a car tonight, said to me earlier he did “I’ll get that cos then I can drive me lady friend (Taz) around in it”
He did, honest, oh yes in deedily!
Go Unc! Hey big congrats! See you soon!
