Could have been stupid
But actually turned out OK in the end.

Me and Tourettes stop off at the pub on the way back from a long walk in the hills. The bar is exceptionally busy that afternoon as a load of folk musicians are in (the 'dum diddleys' as we affectionately call them). There are no empty tables, no standing space, so we excuse ourselves and ask if the couple at the first table mind if we join them. "Not at all" says he, and we duly sit down. Soon we get chatting.

After a couple of hours of good humoured banter, the couple ask if we fancy joining them at his place for dinner the following weekend? Yeah, why not, sounds good and could be fun. Phone numbers and email addresses are exchanged, and we bid our temporary farewells.

However, next day Tourettes is wondering if this is a good idea. After all we only just met them in the pub, they could turn out to be vampires, or wife swappers or something. She watches way too much Buffy and Angel..

Anyway, the next Saturday we take the drive up the coast, and are relieved to find that there are no car keys in the ash tray, or blood in the fridge. A good night is had by all, and several times since.

And that's how we met Legless. A random act of friendliness in a pub.

Yay!
I do miss the trips up to Legless' residence in a quaint little village in Northumberland though. Fancying buggering off to Oz for a woman. Tcho.

Kidding, Legless. Just wish we'd managed to catch up with you before you went.

Ancrenne...
It might be incredibly thick coffee...

Or a coffee cream - same thing surely?
