Part 24 : Posted Sunday 10th March 2024, 10am
On the way down in the lift to breakfast, with one floor to go I had a horrible thought of my own.
"We need to make a 5 minute detour", I said, "Parking charges start at 8 and............."
"It doesn't need two of us", interrupted Bill, "you are more than capable of doing that all by yourself".
"I see", I said, narrowing my eyes, " 'I've had my hole so sling your hook. Close the door on your way out'...... How heterosexual..........."
"STOP using that expression", said Bill, "I simply meant.........hold on.........what the fuck do you mean 'how heterosexual' ?"
(BLAZING ROW ALERT, dear reader, brace yourselves)
"Whatever..........", I said, knowing Bill hated THAT put down as much as I did, "Tell you what............you go feed your face, I'll go to the car.........."
"Good idea.......", began Bill
"...........and head home", I finished my sentence.
"Don't be such a big girl's blouse", tutted Bill, "getting your panties in a twist........."
Just as the lift door opened, nobody there as it happens, I turned on Bill and went toe to toe with him.
"Cardinal sin Mister............ I might suck cock and like getting my arse shagged............. do NOT feminise me"
"Oh for Christ sake..........." Bill attempted, but I in turn had stomped off. OK, maybe it was a wee bit of a flounce.........
Shut up.....it was NOT a big flounce.
Such determination made me too fast for the automatic doors and I smacked in to them with speed. Oh come on! We've all done it.
A small child laughed and pointed........... "Daddy, that mannie walked in to the door. He has bumped his nose"
"I saw that", said a mam I presumed to be daddy, "but it is not polite to laugh"
"It WAS funny though........", said Bill catching me up then he smacked the back of my head.........
"IDIOT !".
The child laughed more. "Do that again !!!!!"
"Like that?", asked Bill, obliging him.
I swept out the doors. Of course I near fell down the steps. That gleeful child laughed again but the doors closing cut him off.
"Will you hold ON !", Bill shouted
I turned to face him up
"Fuck..............OFF!..........." I began but the bastard grabbed me by the balls. Gently though plus he went chest to chest with me.
"I have change for the parking", he said.
I raised eyebrows and waited.
"OK.......I don't", said Bill, "I just said that for something to say. My wallet and change are in the room"
"Get your hand off my crotch", I hissed.
"No", said Bill, "it's lovely" and he gave me a squeeze.
"We are in public", I said
"Bite me", he said. So I did............ on the ear
"OW !", he said, "I can't believe you just did that ! Correction, of course you fucking did".
Why had I not noticed before he said 'fucking' a lot and not in a sexual context.
"What do you want?", I asked
"Breakfast then you", he replied, "I can't believe you are turning down an all-you-can-eat breakfast. Your hollow legs will never forgive you. And your arse will go in the huff at you turning down another dicking"
"No need", I countered, "you aint the only show in town". That was nasty
"But the sexiest and the most in to you", Bill replied.
I had to give him that.
"I hate being feminised Bill", I said.
"I know", he said, "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you So long as you uncurl that petted lip"
"I don't WANT you to make it up to me. I want you to NOT do it. It really sets me off", I attempted to fume.
"I didn't notice", grinned Bill, "you hide it well"
"I need to get to the car.........", I began
"Mind if I join you?", Bill interrupted, ".......it's a nice morning for a walk. Wouldn't want you to get lost".
"Funnily enough", I said, "that's EXACTLY what I was telling you to do".
"C*nt", said Bill.
I glared.
"WELL..........", he continued, "I would have said 'bitch' but that is a no-go because..........."
"Is THAT a traffic warden over there?", I asked.
"My GOD, he is fat", Bill said rather unkindly, "we will get to your car long before he does"
"And you know that HOW?", I asked, "you don't even know where I parked. How do you know that is not MY car he is leaning over?"
"Ehm.........because I have BEEN in your car, you dope".
OOOPS.........he had a point. His stomach growled.
"Now look what you've done", Bill accused, "can we get this fucking car ticketed and get back to breakfast".
"Grammatically, we can't get BACK to breakfast, because we haven't been yet", I pointed out.
"Fuck Off", was the deserved reply. As I said before, I'm REALLY annoying.
I went to the car, Bill followed. There was no traffic ticket. Bill looked over my shoulder at the parking meter.
"HOW FUCKING MUCH?", he exploded.
"It IS Glasgow city centre", I pointed out.
"You'd pay less to park on the moon", he observed, "would you not be cheaper getting a warden ticket and getting 50% off if you pay within 14 days?"
I did the calcs.
"Nope. And anyway, there is a finder fee to add for them going to DVLC..........."
"Please tell me you are fucking kidding", Bill gasped.
I fed the meter, got the ticket, peeled it off and.............it blew away.
Bill hooted.
I chased it, was stupid enough to stamp on it and of course it got stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I peeled it off in crumpled bits.
Bill was in tears
"Oh Jesus fuck", he chortled, "THAT could only happen to you.........."
"Bet it isn't..........", I attempted
"...........oh man.......... that was worth the hotel fee alone........I am SO glad I came to the car with you now"
I gave the meter a second helping of money and got a ticket.
"YOU do it", I demanded of Bill. He did and we headed back to the hotel for 'eats'
The breakfast lounge was busier than I had expected. Not heaving or noisy but a wee queue at the buffet.
We were shown to a table for two after giving room number and then told to help ourselves. A guy came to the 'table for two' next to us with his breakfast. We nodded "morning".
Bill and I 'separated', he wanted cereal and fruit, I wanted a fry-up, although I grabbed myself a bowl of orange and grapefruit plus natural yoghurt on my way back. I went back to get us both tea, Bill had assumed we would be brought a pot. I also got two large fresh-orange.
We scoffed and blethered about nothing
The guy next to us yawned and apologised
"Didn't get much sleep", he said
"Oh dear..........difficulty in sleeping 'not in your own bed?' "
He frowned in confusion, as did Bill.
"It is quite common", I clarified, "a lot of people find it difficult to sleep in a hotel. The bed or pillows are too hard or too soft or their partner isn't there. I have a friend who when he travels with work has to take sleeping tablets with him"
"I'm single", said the guy, "and I can sleep anywhere. So much so I've missed my train stops and THEN some.....".
I laughed. No one else did
He yawned again.
"Did you get ANY sleep?", I asked
"Next to nowt", he answered, "thanks to the couple next door"
"Oh dear", I said again, "Arguing?"
He tutted like I was daft.
"Nope, bed creaking and grunting"
"Oh dear", I said for the third time.
"I was right jealous", he clarified
"That he was getting some and you weren't?", I giggled.
Bill glared.
"His stamina and how much he got", was the reply.
"More than once then?". I asked. Partly being nosey, mostly to annoy Bill by my nosiness.
"At least six", said the guy, "and not one of them less than 20 minutes, as I said..........right jealous, the lucky bastard"
"Not to mention lucky to have a woman as up for it as she was", I agreed, playing the 'hetero' for Bill's sake.
"I might have had my ear pressed up against the wall", said Bill in an attempt to join the conversation.
"Woman?", said the guy ignoring Bill, "it was two guys"
"Oh", said Bill and I in unison.
"Unless the 'woman' getting serviced had a deep voice........", clarified our breakfast neighbour........"but I'd bet a month's wages it was two guys".
"You obviously weren't offended", I said
"Hardly", said the guy, "I told you..........I was right jealous........."
"You sure it was only two?.............", I asked, ".....there was maybe two doing a third or IF it was only two, maybe they took turns about"
"I'm almost certain it was two, from the grunts and voices, and there was enough action for me to fathom one was.............."
"The Top", I completed his sentence without thinking.
"Yea", he said, buttering his toast, "the lucky bastard..........."
"I think you already said that", I attempted
He ignored me
"..............they were like SKY News"
Bill frowned, confused
"In the late 80s / early 90s.............", I explained, "when SKY News first aired, their strap line was 'Sky News........on the hour, every hour'. Early presenters were Alison Hammond - one of Jim Davidson's ex wives - partnered on air with New Zealander Scott Chisholm who was 6ft 4 and got sacked after thumping a producer during an advert / toilet break. Alison is now a producer in Los Angeles"
Bill laughed then said "Why am I not surprised you got that reference and then segued to that quite useless info".
I went to explain to Bill but he said to the guy "Got a right brain on him that one...........picks facts out of nowhere............best demonstrated with his filthy jokes.........give him a subject and............"
I tutted,, wanting to hear more about the guys shagging without my interest being too obvious. I was holding back from asking - but quite desperate to ask - if he been giving himself a pull listening to them.
"Can I ask a nosey question?.......", I asked and before he could say "no" added ".......which one were you jealous of?"
"The shagger", said the guy immediately without so much as a blush, "...........the lucky bastard".
"The one being banged might not have been your type.......too young, too old, too fat............ugly", I ventured, testing the water. Basically I wanted him to say out loud he shagged arse.
He stopped in the middle of a bite of toast, took it out his mouth and looked at me like I had grown two heads. Oh oh, I had overstepped the mark.
"Mate", he said quietly, "I wouldn't give a flying damn if he looked like the back end of a bus or a well skelpt arse............ ANYONE who is up for what he took and as often............if it came to it I could always put a pillowcase over his head. And anyway, not to put too fine a point on it......... he'd be face down so looks would be irrelevant in return for THAT much sex".
"Charming", I grinned, "............the bit about the pillow case............Were you tempted to ask if you could join them?"
"Fleetingly..........", he confessed, "but then it occurred to me I didn't know the circumstances............."
"I think the circumstances were quite obvious", Bill interrupted, again trying to join the conversation.
The guy sighed.
"...........they could have been an item. Monogamous and all that. Aside from the fact of having had a few drinks, I didn't want the ignominy of being told 'no'. Was more than happy to do myself whilst listening to them"
Well that answered THAT question I hadn't asked outright
"Hardly ignominy", I said, "if it were only the three of you in the 'can I join you' conversation............ Embarrassment maybe but given it would only be the three of you........... Ignominy is public embarrassment such as 'the ignominy of coming seventh in an election and losing your deposit' "
"Bloody hell", interjected Bill yet again, "here we fucking go............."
I gave him one of my 'looks'. That shut him up
"Whatever", tutted the guy, "I'm not even sure why I am telling you all this, must be lack of sleep"
"Nope", interjected Bill yet again, "It's HIM........", he tiitle-tattled,
"................. Sit beside him for five minutes and you are blabbing your life story and the most intimate details. Give him a minute, he'll know how many times you've been divorced, how much your alimony is for how many kids and what you work as. All without him hardly saying a word."
"Fireman", I suggested impishly.
"No", said the guy, failed the medical........ I'm..............". He stopped and pursed his lips "Oh that was close. You are GOOD"
"TOLD you", said Bill, "I've given up trying not to tell him things. It just seeps out my pores"
"I take it he knows you intimately then", said the guy.
"VERY", I agreed. Bill flushed, "........but I am super discreet. I don't judge............ I mean having four other women on the go is between him and his wife. Nowt to do with me. He is still one of my closest and trusted friends.............horny rake notwithstanding"
"Fuck.......OFF", Bill hissed, "It's only two other women. Well one and a half given Samantha has moved to the borders, not that I've seen Annabel in two months now and you are right, it ISN'T............"
The guy guffawed, "You walked in to THAT one mate", he said to Bill.
"Rake........", continued the guy, "I have not heard that expression for always having sex in YEARS. Not since my mother branded by brother and I a lush and a rake. HE was the one with alcohol issues, God rest him...........". He trailed off
"Whilst I used it about my good friend here in the exact context you described............", I said, (Bill and I seemed to be competing as to who could interrupt the most),
"........It did - in days gone by............."
At this point though Bill held his head theatrically in his hands - elbows on table - and gave the guy a "here we fucking go" look
"........... have implications of immoral pleasure seeker or worse someone who didn't care who they screwed or screwed over, say all the right things so long as they get their hole"
"I HATE that expression", fumed Bill. Of course I had said it to annoy him
THEN I realised I had mixed my tenses I went to correct........
"Well mother was a bit of a Bible basher", said the guy, "so your immoral pleasure seeker probably fits. But she would have applied that to me kissing someone I wasn't betrothed to. She literally had a coronary when my brother - pissed out his skull, and nasty with it - told her who I was shagging. I was 23, my first real relationship with a guy albeit he was engaged".
"Oh dear", I said for the umpteenth time, this time though in genuine sympathy. Intrigued though with the confirmation he did guys albeit he had as near as dammit said as much with his expression of jealousy at the Top next bedroom to him getting all that sex. I fleetingly hoped said Top didn't get more than Bill had had last night 'doing' me.
"Yea............", said the guy, "didn't go with a guy for another ten years or so. Moved away etc etc".
He stared away in memory / contemplation. Bill fidgeted awkwardly. The guy snapped back to reality suddenly then looked at us.
"So what's your story then.......... before i blab out my entire history..............what brings you two here in this hotel given you both have local accents"
Bill stopped breathing.
"I'll go first given..........", I nodded at Bill, ".......it's rude to talk with your mouth full..............Sad but true.........poor sod here had one of those school reunion thingies............."
The guy rolled his eyes and tutted. "Fun was it?"
"FUCKING AWFUL", agreed Bill after swallowing.
"........his wife strong-armed him in to going and to make an overnight of it, ie here. Arrangement was he and me were meeting at 8 for a drink. It started at 2.......... was it?.........."
Bill nodded. At that point neither of us remembered and I'm not sure Bill trusted himself to contribute. He was quite happy to let me dig us out of this one. "Happy" was probably overstating it.
".............At 4pm I was texted and summoned to be in town for five"
"THAT good", sympathised the guy, "was there at least food?"
"Don't go there", said Bill
"I pre-went to the chippie for us before our rendez-vous", I said
"Which one?", asked the guy. I told him. "Oh I like that one", he said and then to Bill "he did well by you".
"He always does", said Bill, "I am lucky to have him..........". If he was trying to make me blush it was an epic fail
",.......notwithstanding he bought the entire fucking shop". My ears tingled a wee bit.
"A night getting rat arsed, then" said the guy.
"Not sozzled", I said, "At the end of the night he mentioned he had a twin room and said why didn't I just come along rather than bus or taxi. He sold it when he said breakfast was self-service, eat as much as you like. SEEMED a good idea at the time"
Two sets of eyebrows were raised.
"He SNORES"
The guy laughed
"Like hell I do", Bill said annoyed
"You too are really funny", said the guy, "A bit like Laurel and Hardy. Always squabbling but very close".
"Not too happy about you calling me fat...........", I said
"I did sod all the kind", said the guy
"But yea, we are close and do pull each other's chains. I'm the worst it won't surprise you to know..........". The guy shook his head. I decided to go for it.........
"He doesn't mind that I am in to masculine male Tops who like to shag and / or who like massaged & pampered..................."
Bill started to flush again
"............and he knows and trusts I don't go where there is no interest.............But .I do get to kiss his forehead when we part"
"So how did you meet?", asked the guy. Nosey bugger! (I know, before you said it, I've a ruddy cheek)
"The usual...........", I said, "mutual acquaintance........... I offered to help said acquaintance set up a hall for a coffee morning whatsit............him here was roped in to it by his missus. We were billeted together. Right laugh............although I will admit to a few sneaky sniff of his pits through his shirt when he had to lean over me............chest / thigs/ pubes / pits are my 'go to'............"
(HINT HINT)
Won't surprise you Bill tutted and rolled his eyes at the guy
"..........bumped in to one another again what five / six weeks later? We went for a cuppie. I turned up at mutual acquaintance's place three or so weeks later to find him there with his laptop needing looked at. Our association just grew from there..............".
That bit about the laptop was of course an embellishment. And of course I didn't mention Bill barging in to Tommy's to find me tied face down over table, as a result of which he fucked the arse off me. See Part 9
"That first time in the hall he went away to the loo or car..........", Bill said joining in the conversation, "and came back stinking of sex". So he HAD noticed (see part 8 for why. So that's parts 8 and 9 you need if you want a reminder.)
"When opportunity presents itself !", I said
The guy laughed. I noticed he hadn't pursued my indirect hint of being bottom for a good shag. Too tired to join the dots, I presumed. Or thought it tactless with Bill there. And what do you mean there was sod all INDIRECT about it ??????? I didn't say "You are welcome to shag ME if you want"
"He even came in to a gay bar with me last night", I said, "WHAT a man and a good friend"
"Which one?"
I named it.
"What did you think?, the guy addressed Bill.
"Disappointingly ordinary", confessed Bill
"He was expecting it to be a bit raunchier", I said
"My music teacher of old works there now", said the guy, "Tanya". He described her
"Tasha", I corrected then added "She was all over HIM like a rash. Only guy I know who could go in to a gay bar and get accosted by a woman"
"Hardly accosted", disagreed Bill, "she was..........."
"exchanging tonsils with you and wanting you to have her over the beer kegs"
"I'll give you that", Bill allowed.
"Seems you had quite the night", said the guy
"Oh we DID", I agreed, referring to our OVER-night.
"Worth the awful afternoon?, he asked of Bill
"Very", he agreed, "he's good company and his filthy jokes are something else. Don't go there though with his jokes guaranteed to offend at least one person"
"Go on then........." challenged the guy
"Give him a topic", said Bill
"Blondes", said the guy.
I shook my head. "Nope, I don't like those. They are demeaning. Although there is one I do like............ A blonde is walking along the river and she spots her pal over the water. 'How did you get to the other side?' she hollers and gets the response 'You ARE on the other side' "
The guy laughed
"Very good. Humour me and give me examples of ones you don't like"
I sighed but did "I will leave a 'fill in your own gap"
"OK", they both agreed.
"What does a ..... girl use for shelter during sex?"
They both shook their heads
"A bus shelter".
They sniggered
"What does a .............girl say to her boyfriend AFTER sex?"
Shoulder shrugs
"I'll be home in about half an hour"
They guffawed
"Football supporters", challenged the guy
"What do you call a Rangers supporter / Celtic supporter / Rangers Supporter / Celtic supporter / Rangers supporter / Celtic supporter standing shoulder to shoulder in a row"
"A fucking miracle", said Bill
"Optical illusion", said the guy
"Nope.............a wind tunnel"
They both gasped.
"Wouldn't say that too loudly in here", advised the guy.
My turn to shrug.
"My Jesus jokes are worse"
"Go on then", challenged the guy
"What happened when Jesus went to Mount Olive"?
Shrugs
"Popeye kicked fuck out of him"
The guy guffawed. Bill didn't. Oh dear, lapsed Catholic syndrome.
I went to do another
"Eggs" said Bill changing the topic
"What's the difference between an egg and a wank?.................. you can beat an egg"
They both chortled
"Dancers", said the guy
I sighed
"Do you remember these jokes from our youth where you reversed the letters for the punchline for instance 'what is the difference between a fishermen and a schoolboy............one baits his hooks and the other hates his books. The filthy ones you just say one line and leave them to do the opposite line in their head............. ie what was the difference between Lady Diana (as was) and the kids she supervised in the Kindergarten?............... One chucked Farleys"
They both rolled their eyes
"We get the idea", said Bill, "the topic was dancers, not our dear departed sainted Diana, God rest her"
"What's the difference between Trapeeze artists in the circus and the Can Can dancers?"
"I dread to think", said Bill, "One is.............ehm.............dunno"
The guy shook his head in agreement
"One is a cunning array of stunts"
The guy snorted tea out his nose.
"Buggers", he said, "lesson learned. Don't be drinking during the punchline"
"Spanish", said the guy
"Language or person", I asked
"Delay, prevarication", said Bill.
I rolled my eyes
"My young nephew has been learning Spanish for a year, but still cannot say "Please"............which I think is very poor for four"
The guy tried not to laugh but it burbled out
"FOXES", said Bill
"I was telling a colleague the other day I had seen a fox on the way to work yesterday and he asked me how I knew it was going to its work"
"Pathetic", scoffed Bill........."Ok...........from fox to CHICKENS"
"Two chickens are walking along the road and one stays 'I think I will cross to the other side' and his pal says 'I wouldn't if I were you..... you will never hear the end of it"
The guy laughed. Bill said "Now you are plumbing the depths"
"You promised me filthy and offensive", said the guy
I wondered if he would be offended if I asked him to pop his cock out under the table
At that point a man walked past. How can I put this............ he was somewhere between 3ft6 and 4ft tall (0.9meters to 1.1 meters for the younger amongst us).
Both Bill and the guy followed him with their eyes
"Here's hoping he doesn't walk in to a woman wearing a mini skirt", I "opined"
They both turned their attention back to me
"He will get a crack on his forehead".
Unfortunately for me, at that precise moment Bill was taking a big slug of Orange juice..........which he sprayed me with as he burst out laughing
The guy hooted. I wasn't sure if it was because of the 'joke' or me having orange juice running down my face.
I dabbed my face dry as best I could but of course it was now horrendously sticky.
"ENOUGH !!", Bill demanded
"Mechanics", said the guy
I frowned
"Five mechanics........... which one has the horniest girlfriend?................"
"STOP ", said Bill
"............the one with three clean fingers".
Tittering and tutting.
About 5 tables away, a row erupted. Or maybe got louder. We three turned to look.
"You are just the fucking limit", shouted one woman and slapped another woman, threw a glass of water over her before storming off.
I was quite disappointed. Was that IT??
Bill glared at me - him glaring was becoming a theme at this here breakfast - because he knew I LOVE watching women fight. Guys throw punches and that is it. Women pull hair etc etc. I've detailed in other tales two women rolling about the street..........slaps / spitting / hair pulling / I learned some new sweary words................. I was standing there agog like a four year old, having the best time and was right disappointed when their men came out the pub to separate them. Learned MORE bad words when they screamed further abuse at one another as they were dragged away.
A member of staff / waiter passed.
"Oh dear", I said, "wonder what THAT was all about"
Bill tutted. Of course !
"What is ANY argument about in this damn city?", fumed the waiter.
"Sex", I suggested, just to annoy Bill.
The waiter rolled his eyes "You are obviously from the East coast, sir,.............. FOOTBALL. They were discussing yesterday's match and the bias of the ref"
"Oh, I HEARD about that", said Bill
"You could hardly NOT", said the waiter, "It was the talk of the football 'phone in' on Clyde 1........."
(Narrator's note........ I'm not sure it is called that any more, the station I mean...... they are all part of Bauer media and their other station Clyde 2 has been rebranded Greatest Hits radio, but old habits die hard. I know, dear reader, you aint interested...........back to the waiter: : )
"..........took up tons of Sportscene last night on the telly and even made it to the front pages of the papers, never mind an entire forest used up for the back pages"
The waiter left
Bill said "Well, it IS well known the ref lays down for that dirty player..........well lays down with said player's sister and apparently / allegedly they are pussy-hounds on the prowl together"
"The ref and the player's sister............ is she bi?........... every straight man's wet dream, him and two women", I asked / observed 'innocently'. The guy tittered. Bill took the bait
"You are REALLY annoying", said Bill, "you know fine well I meant the ref and the PLAYER go on the prowl together for pussy, NOT the ref and the player's sister. And NO, it is not every straight man's wet dream"
"You've never been with two women............. at the same time in the same bed I mean............?", I decided to clarify the point given he was known to have more than one woman 'on the go' at the same time.
"Nope"
"I've had two guys taking turns with me", I said.
"Bully for you", said Bill, "the surprise in that sentence is that is was only two"
"I didn't want to boast", I smiled, "Apparently I am very shaggable and take a good dicking" (HINT fucking HINT Mister breakfast colleague !!!!!)
The guy laughed "Honestly, you two are REALLY funny" and then he turned the conversation back to yesterday's match.
From what Bill and the guy had heard, the foul was blatant, bordered on violent but the ref waved "play on". The guy looked it up on his phone and played it to Bill.
"OUCH" they both said at the appropriate bit. Or inappropriate bit if we are being pedantic (I HEARD that tut and sighing!)
Bill then segued in to a previous game said referee had been involved with that team and they (Bill and the guy) "were off".
I tuned out. I was enjoying watching Bill being animated.
Eventually, the guy and Bill both made "getting ready to go" moves. At this point, having had time to think whilst they two gabbed footie, a wee seed had sprouted.
I fake-frowned and interrupted when Bill paused for breath
"Didn't you want to go to the shops before checking out?"
Bill looked at me with barely concealed derision.
"Ehm..........NOPE. If I'd wanted to go to the shops I'd have done it when you dragged me to the car and had me pay for your parking".
He rolled eyes at the guy as if to say "What a tit". and resumed what he was saying.
Oh well, I tried.
The guy got up. OH MY! He was fucking HOT ! Not as hot as Bill but.......... Adddas shorts, very hairy legs. I managed not to stare or slobber.
Bill had stood too.
He huffed at me "Are you COMING ?"
"Not quite", I said, "I've just changed hands"
The guy tittered. Bill didn't.
He went back to the footie conversation and they both made off. I followed, not involved in said conversation.
We got to and waited for the lift. Bill went first and pushed the button for our floor, he raised eyebrows at the guy (ie 'which floor are you?).
The guy interpreted the eyebrows correctly and in the middle of his sentence said "Same as you" and resumed his sentence.
The seed was now sprouting in to a sunflower.
The lift (and us) made off to our floor without another stop.
The two footie-heads exited the lift and gab, gab, gabbed along the corridor. I held back a wee bit.
The guy stopped at his door. "Where are you?"
I attempted to say "At the end of the corridor",
But no................. Bill had stopped at our door, key-card slotted in with a
"Ha! There's a thing! Right next door !! ".
Yup, there WAS a thing.............
