my and the girlfriend
share the same birthday. A couple of years ago we were on holiday together in the south of switzerland for our joint birthday. We were in Montreux the night before the big day and she says 'shall we open one of our presents now and the rest tomorrow?'. It was at this point that I realised I'd completely forgotten to get her a present. Next morning I highfooted it out of the hotel under the guise of 'I just need to get your card'. I proceeded to run around Montreux panic buying presents, getting the shops to wrap them etc. I sneak them back into the room and all is well until the unwrapping of the presents. Girlfriend says 'That's a spooky coincedence...every thing you got me seems to be from Montreux'. Yup, Every sodden item i'd bought had an engraved box which mentioned ..blahh blahh sunglass shop from Montreux, blaah blaah jewelery store, Montreux etc. I tried to encourage the belief that I'd bought all items in London and it was just chance that we happened to be in the actual place all the stuff came from originally. She was having none of it.
Luckily enough, knowing I was probably going to get rumbled, I'd managed to empty me ball bags into her several times the night before. Sure as hell got sod all on the day!
Not really a spooky coincedence as it turned out.
Obviously if the QOTW next week is 'stupid things you've done as a result of long term cannabis use' I'll be sorted. Sadly, I'll probably have forgotten this story by then. ho-hum..
