I don’t mean to touch any nerves with this…This is pretty dumb now (considering)…but at the time…I mean, what were the odds???
In 1999 the current Mrs Pooflake and I went on a trip to New York. It was an incredible, wonderful experience…we had the time of our lives and I honestly can’t understand why anybody bad-mouths the place or it’s people – I didn’t meet one ‘surly New Yorker’ the whole time I was there. It was brilliant.
London, on the other hand (in my opinion…and I do realise that 99% of the time, my opinions are wrong), is a boil on the dog’s arse of the world filled with cretinous mutants and I would rather pour liquid Nitrogen down my undercrackers than visit there…
…and we’re back.
So we were travelling round NYC and as you can imagine (those that have read my previous posts), I was more bothered about touring the great city’s fine drinking establishments. Time (and money) was relatively tight and I didn’t want to waste too much time or too much of my hard saved drinking wad visiting life enriching, fulfilling worldwide landmarks, museums and historical wotnot. I wanted to get pissed.
So we approached the World Trade Centre…Mrs PF says ‘Shall we go in?’
I put my hand on the side of the building and said….and I quote……:
”Nah, let’s go to that Irish bar across the road instead. We’ll have plenty of time to visit this place…It’s not like it’s going anywhere is it?”
We never visited.
Regrets?....I’ve had a few…

No way!We said the same thing - we'd both been up separately but not since we met - and it was integral as to *how* we met.. there was a private party in the bar, we weren't allowed in and we wanted Cosmos..Sept 2000... gutted.
