» When I met the parents
Birds
I walked into the front room, a little nervous. We were exchanging pleasantries when my father-in-law to be reached down the side of his armchair and picked up a microphone.
Placing it to his lips, he shouted 'Boo!', replaced the microphone and continued talking as if nothing happened.
I must have looked a little scared, because it was then explained to me that they had wired up a speaker outside next to the bird table so he could scare off larger birds (thus allowing smaller ones to eat) without having to get up and tap on the window.
After that inital shock, everything went swimmingly and he really is very nice. But quite a few things were running through my mind at the time (one of them being: RUN).

Bus Stop
I am at the bus stop and it is a wet day. She is there.
I say, "please share my umbrella".
The bus arrives at the stop and then goes. Our love grows, under my umbrella.
We enjoy it throughout the summer, through wind, rain and shine. We employed the umbrella to keep us dry and by August, she was mine.
I see her every morning, waiting at the stop. Sometimes she has been shopping and shows me the things she purchased.
Everyone stares as if we're both insane, but sooner or later our names will be the same.
Anyway, that's how it all started, it's silly - but it's true (no pics, sorry). A lovely, sweet romance, beginning in the queue.
The sun comes and the ice melts, there's no more need for any sheltering. It's amazing to think that my umbrella led me to a vow.

Fowarded email
A client once wanted to forward me an email she had received.
So she printed off the email, scanned it and attached the document in a new email which she then sent to me.
A process, bizzarly, more complicated and technically demanding than locating the 'Forward' button in Outlook.

More from one old person to another
In my local (Devon) pub. Two 'old boys' sat at the bar talking.
"Oi 'aven't made love to a woman for yurrs and yurrs. Oi'm only sebbenty eight."
"Ar, but what about that Doris the other week?"
"That don't count - that were in the back of my car"
I now know exactly how I want to be when I'm 78.
