Went out with Paul S last night (otherwise known as 'Herman' due to his uncanny resemblance to the popular 60's TV show munster). He was in Fort Worth on business.
We tried to go to the Sherlock, but due to St Paddy's day, they had bouncers outside the tent that had been erected outside. We got asked for ID. I didn't have any, but then I remembered I had my work pass in my car. I ran to get it, but then they said we needed something with a date of birth on it. Git...it was lucky for that bouncer that he was taller than me, had bigger muscles than me, and generally looked overall fitter than me, otherwise there would have been trouble :-)
We tried a wine bar - LOL! Not really our style, so we walked out. Ended up in the Londoner (well it is close by!) and then to the Claypit again for a curry :-) So I wont write about them, cos I've written about them before. I will say though, never play darts with Paul! It seems height gives an advantage, cos once again, I got trounced! Also, it dawned on me that we pretty much did similar places when Tony was here. He flew out the next day too. I did warn Paul he should get some flight socks! Especially as its an 18 hour flight back to Denmark
I left my car in the hotel car park last night, so I walked back today to pick it up and give Paul a lift to the airport. Ever feel that you're in your very own 'Trueman Show' and you're the star - your life secretly filmed for the entertainment of millions?
I already had a bit of a cold coming on from walking home in the rain last night, but this morning, as I stepped out of my door, there was no rain. I walked a little further up the street and it started to drizzle a little. By the time I had walked out of the gates, it was like someone had turned a tap on!
I was thinking....Im giving a lift to a friend back to the airport, so his colleagues don't have to bother driving out of their way, find his hotel, pick him up, and Karma is repaying me with a soaking. I dont mind, I'll do a good deed - what can I say? Im a nice guy. While Im doing this, Im getting utterly soaked, probably making my cold get worse. But its my good turn of the day. I just hope Karma is watching...and by the way karma, I don't want any sissy 'feel good' rewards, Im talking cold, hard cash, thank you very much...
Dad, get the lottery tickets in, I'll pay you back when I get home (see; Nice)

herman munster? well i do a pretty good uncle fester impression.
Thats absolutely true...!
So why did you have to produce ID? Have you acquired a teenaged complexion to go with your 31" waist?
Sometimes you just have to produce ID out here. I would like to think I look 21 or under, but its just the American way. I think the bouncer was just trying to reduce numbers. I imagine *even* you would get ID'd with your 40 something inch waist :-)
hey id love to be kicked out of a pub cos i dont look old enough
Hey, I've been dieting, I'm down to 36" now. And in a couple of weeks, I expect to be able to fasten my flies too.
Phil, have you tried bournemouth?
Nice One Evo :-) Do you have an exercise regime yet?
Exercise is no problem for me, I have been gyming it every day. But too many lunches and dinners take their toll.
Yea, damn those high calorie foods! I've just started a new weights program - trying to tone up for the summer
Ordering a salad when someone else is paying is just down right rude I think :)
Who's paying? Mrs Evo? :-)
No, normally an unsuspecting banker.
Was that a spelling mistake? :-)
