Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[typhoon13]

Always been a great diary, especially the old life stories

[RED-DOG]

Thanks Trev.

I look back over this diary and I cringe sometimes.

Somehow, I've managed to go through life thinking I was good at everything and that my opinion was always right. These days, I'm much more introspective.
You might think it would come as a shock to me to realise that I'm mediocre in areas where I thought I was great, and totally crap where I thought I was average, but that realisation dawned on me slowly over the course of a few years and I'm comfortable with it now.

Of late I spend a considerable amount of time in the company of a small group of close friends and I'm constantly in awe of depth and breadth of their knowledge on a vast range of subjects that are far beyond my narrow field of experience.

These days, I tend to try to listen more and speak less, and I respect everyone's opinion, even when it is at odds with mine.

I even tried it with you Trev, but unfortunately, that was a step too far.

See you soon mate. XX

But it is still okay for your good self and that scruffy urchin mate of yours to rob me of money

Disgraceful

But Trev, you have so much of it. I'm surprised you weren't standing alongside Bezos, Musk & Zuckerberg at Trump's inauguration.

I'm part of a Whatsapp "Lads" group. Basically it's a bunch of young men talking about young men stuff that I somehow got added to. Mostly the posts are about drinking, fighting, cars, girls.. You get the picture.
Obviously I don't contribute and to be honest it's all a bit juvenile for my taste. Really I should exclude myself, but I suppose I was a bit flattered to be included in the first place, so here we are.

In amongst the chat, there are often links to interesting or funny things online but I learned very early on not to click on them when I'm in company. Most of them are perfectly innocent but one lad in particular likes to slip in the odd one that links to very loud porn sites with full, no-holds-barred audio description in the hope that it will embarrass someone. It has worked on multiple occasions. Many a restaurant or family gathering has been given the full, X rated version of When Harry met Sally. 

Yesterday I noticed one such message, but as I was sitting on the settee with Mrs Red at the time I left it unopened.

A little while later Mrs R said she was nipping to the shops and as soon as she was safely outside in the car I opened the link and there, as expected, was a very explicit naughty video. Unusually though, there was no audio, which was strange. I could see the participant's lips moving as they gyrated, but apart from that, silence.

I checked my phone settings and turned the volume up to full, still nothing, Then I noticed the little symbol that says the phone is connected to Bluetooth. The horrible truth slowly dawned on me....

A few days earlier, I had paired my phone to the car's audio system. If the car radio was left on, (It usually is) it would come to life as soon as the car was started.

Panicking, I looked out of the window. The car had stopped halfway down the drive.

Coming to my senses, I quickly turned the porn off and after a few seconds the car drove on.

"Everything OK dear?" I asked when Mrs Red got home, "How come you stopped halfway down the lane?"

"There was something interesting on the radio, but I must have just caught the end of it".

"Really?" I asked, "What was it?"

"Oh, nothing that you would be interested in..."


 

The thought of a porn X rated When Harry met Sally scene made me titter.

It seems very strange when I stop alongside a French car in my right- hand drive camper because I'm right next to their drivers window.

Yesterday I pulled up at some traffic lights and found myself directly opposite a very attractive older lady. I lowered my window and smiled, she lowered her window and smiled back so I said, "Have you farted too?"
