But you have to look at him as if you were silly
and then laugh loudly at your own stupidity.

Oh, absolutely
And then look suprrised when he looks visibly fed up with having to explain the offside rule for the 40th time in as many minutes.

And call him rude
for not being patient enough. And make a drama until he accepts buying you a drink as a way to apologise.

Sounds like someone's done this before...

Are you looking at me?
How can you do that. You are SO rude. So, so rude. Look, look what you've done. You made me cry in the middle of the internet. Everybody can see me. Oh, you're so nasty. I feel like crying and shouting very loudly how bad and nasty you are. I'll start in a second, unless you buy me a drink.

The ex-girlfriend tactic?
Everytime a guy tells me that, I get blank and stop talking to him.

Eh? No, I actually had a girlfriend who was like that once.
I meant the tactic of making a scene.
*sigh*
What would you like to drink?

Sorry to hear that
She must have been a pain in the ass.

Some nice beer, I'll let you choose. No stout or porter. And hoppy if possible.

Oh, it was a few years ago now.
(And yes, yes she was, in hindsight.)

Speaking of nice beers, I shall have to make plans with you and markthebrewer in time for next January as it sounds like we narrowly missed one another at the Manchester Beer Festival this year.

We'll be in South America for the next one
But we should organise meeting at another one. He's celebrating his stag in the one in Birmingham. I imagine you could go too...
