A brand new post that no one has seen before

I’m sat typing this in The Nag’s Head, a rather nice country style pub with comfy leather chairs and good, high quality food. There is nothing more pleasent than getting out of the house with the laptop and blogging in a different environment. Especially when that environment serves beer.

I am, however, having trouble concentrating on what I’m writing. The reason for this is that the bar staff are in the middle of an in depth gossiping session about a friend of theirs who has recently split from his girlfriend. Apparently he has been showing all and sundry some rather… “personal” photo’s and videos of their time together.

Unfortunately every time they get to a really juicy bit they keep turning the coffee machine on and it drowns out everything they are saying. Bloody frothy coffee. It has no place in a traditional English pub if you ask me.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have someone else’s conversation to listen into.

Earwigging in a pub

    Bloody coffee.
    And why didn’t I get to see the videos and pictures? I’m all and sundry too, you know.

    I did once receive an interesting video of a young lady, while I was sitting on a train. That’ll teach me to have bluetooth switched on while on public transport.
    I’ve not received anything quite as interesting since.

    Now, if only I could use my “posting responses 6 days in advance” skills to win the All Greek to Me Sundays…

    And if only I could use these skills in places other than blogs. I’d be able to send stuff off to print almost a week after the deadline, and they’d still be on time. Damn!

    They are cruel people! Don’t they know that if they deny you the juicy stuff, you will make it up on your own and post it on your blog on the internet. I mean you COULD do that…

    Don’t you just hate that?

    I like to sit at a table facing the room so I don’t miss anything. My MIL was able to have a conversation with us and listen to someone elses at the same time!

    Thanks for calling in on my blog.

    You really should sell the photo to a stock agency. It is truly THE incarnation of “hand in the cookie jar” lol

    Oli - I can just see you now as Gypsy Oli Lee telling fortunes at a fairground.

    Avitable - Early onset dementia eh? I’d suspected it for a while now.

    Subversive Love - I stole the phrase from a Morcambe and Wise film

    Momo Fali - I never thought of that, perhaps I should have stuck superglue in it or something.

    Sandip - Thank you sir.

    Vanessa - Perhaps that was their intention, or maybe if I’d stuck around much longer they would have started dropping hints about how I could find out more if I subscribed to a premium rate website.

    Gail - The problem with facing the room is that my face is a bit of an open book and so people would be able to tell I was earwigging.

    Jewels - I thought it was more the incarnation of “Incredibly hansom man”

    CamiKaos - Didn’t you say that before?

    You remind me of one of the Moomins in that picture, or is it a Sylvanian family member…..

    I love overhearing conversations on the bus, the case of the man not bing allowed out of prison to attend a barbecue had me enthralled.
