... so I'm in the middle of trying to extract the harddrive out of the laptop and I get a text from the landlord of the pub - 'Peter Pan is in'. Peter Pan has become pub code speak for 'current girl who Ed finds he's attracted to whilst working behind the bar'.
Mostly these girls end up coming in with their boyfriends the week later or what have you and hence I live in "Never Never Land". We upon managing to dismantle the laptop without breaking it (or so I think...) I decided I was due a pint so went down... knowing I was in for a little shit when I got there... "Hahahaha... came running with your tail between your legs... hahahaha". Now I didn't actually think the girl was in at the time... 'cause I thought the truck driver would be back from his hols and the landlord would have been telling him all the goss and they'd be playing a joke...
Well sure enough she was in there...
Little do I know that Mick (name not protected, 'cause he's not innocent) had gone up to the group of girls to tell her my undying love... some might say this is a kick up the arse I desparatly need... I don't... apparantly she's very flattered (aren't thay all?!) but she had a boyfriend (don't they all!?)...
Grrr... I was a tad mental... then I found out that as he said "Ed, who works behind the bar" and they thought it was the landlord! Saved! As clearly I'm more attractive than he is and you'd make up having a boyfriend to get out of it, so maybe they were just being polite with his feelings (don't they all).
You seeing why I live in a dream world now?
Of course Mick, upon realising he had them thinking it was the wrong guy put them straight... grrrrrrrr...
Didn't help that other staff were on the seats near by laughing at every minute of the conversation they were having...
Putting forward my case further he asked if she was happy with her current boyfriend... the response was (apparantly) quite interesting... "He's alright, I suppose"... great relationship they are having!
Kiss/hug (gender dependant) to the first person who can correctly tell me her name? As a hint, no, I didn't know what it was until I was until tonight, but it's making me paranoid - I expect Sarah to know this, if nobody else... there's a challenge for you :-)
Right, I'm off to go flying to look for some lovin' with Tinkerbell...
