I was at AWOL at the Paradise Club in Angelseveral years ago, and I standing in the chill out area with my mate. We noticed the one of the DJs sitting across the other side of the room with a girl sitting on his lap flicking her hair about. My friend asked, "is that his girlfriend?" I replied, "I dunno, but she looks like a rough pig." The girl standing next to me said, "That's my mate you're talking about." "Oh well, never mind." I replied and walked off. 5 minutes later I was surrounded by Rough Pig and a gang of all her mates around me. She shouted at me "You called me a rough pig." I tried not to laugh at her anger otherwise I'd get my head kicked in. I said I was talking about someone else and she said "no you weren't I was sitting on his lap." With swift thinking I said, "Look, if I offended you then I apologise." Unbelievably it worked and she flicked her hair at me and walked off without even so much as a slap, which is lucky because I was so off my face one slap and I would have been on the floor. Phew!
