I met up with an old friend who had...
...moved to another town with his work and was going through a general bad spell in life. We went to a packed pub, grabbed a few drinks and started to talk which proved very difficult as the music was full on. After a few more drinks and once we had got through the high volume catching up ritual and general pleasantries I asked...
"Eddie, are you happy here"
"What?"
"Eddie are you happy here?" I screamed.
"Mumble mumble mumble" Says he.
"What?"
"Mumble mumble mumble mumble" He shouts.
"I still can't fucking hear you." I holler as the nusic reaches a crescendo of deafening proportions.
And just as the song ends Eddie screams at the top of his voice...
"I'M FUCKING LONELY!"
...which didn't exactly cheer him up but at least made our fellow drinkers feel better about their own crap lives.
