Mr Squashy and i went out for restaurant curry over the weekend with an old school friend of his. I'd never met this friend before. I'm not very social and i usually avoid stuff unless i absolutely can't get out of it, even when food is on the agenda.
I'm glad i went. It was well worth it.
Most of Mr Squashy's friends are perfectly acceptable in their own way but they all share one thing: they could bore for England. They talk about computers and motorbikes and unlistenable 'experimental' music and computers... Some of them are 'Unix men'. I don't exactly know what a Unix man is, but i do know it's hellish geeky. None of Mr Squashy's male friends know how to talk to females and most of them don't have girlfriends. Some of them, i can say quite confidently, are never getting one of those.
Mr Squashy's old schoolfriend was a lovely surprise. I could almost imagine i was talking to Morrissey's doppelganger in Twyford! Articulate, charming, erudite; excellent sense of humour. Hmmmm. Does Morrissey even have a sense of humour? Yes, of course he does, sillies, but it's dust-dry and in danger of blowing away with the next puff of wind!
Funny that Mr Squashy kept this one tucked away for so long. I wish he hadn't!
Curry? What curry? Oh, that curry! Yes, it was delicious, thank you. :-)
