When Rick met Muriel Gray
Many moons ago I had a casual aquaintance called Rick. He was a mate of a mate, and usually let me kip on his sofa after Mayfair goth nights in Newcastle. Looked a bit like Andrew Eldritch in the 'Wake' concert video. Haven't seen him for years, but he still holds a special place in my memories for the sole reason that me and my girlfriend of the time popped our respective cherries at one of his parties.

Anyway (and bearing in mind that this was about 20 years ago) Rick had a bit of a thing for Muriel Gray. So, imagine his surprise when he literally bumped into her whilst brousing the racks in Phaze (long defunct goth-wear shop in Newcastle).

Rick: "Good God, Muriel Gray"!

Muriel Gray: "Fuck off".

She's Scottish.
That's the same as saying hello up there.

Leave me alone.

That's how he should have responded to her.

I think
He was rendered a bit speechless, to be honest :)

I would imagine so.
In his place I would have felt quite hurt. After all, it's not like he insulted her or said something foolish- just an expression of surprise and recognition. Hers was a very rude response.

She danced with me!
But then again, it was a ceilidh. Pretty much everyone ends up dancing with everybody else at some time in the night, even if only for 10 seconds.

Muriel
She's a cousin of mine, though the two sides of the family "don't talk" anymore. They're a bunch of charmers too...
Hope that helps.
