Some things once seen can never be unseen

"Rebecca, there's a saying in our family that when you want to find out the truth about something or how someone really feels then pick an argument on a night out when everyone's well oiled."

"What? Do people in your family really say that?"

"No, don't be daft all your life take the day off. However! … Whilst they don't say it, they certainly do it. It's how I know our Maggie's husband James has a cock the size and appearance of a bite size spring roll."

Rebecca begins to splutter and choke as her laugh forces the mouthful of water she'd just taken out through her nose like her name was now Moby. Oh well at least there would be one impressive dick featured in this conversation. 

"Trust you for funding that funny. I can't think of anything else now if I bump into him and I'll never eat a spring roll of any size ever again."

Finally after what seemed an eternity Rebecca recomposes herself and has clearly used the time wisely as she asks "So what about pancakes?" 

"Oh no. NO! No Rebecca. Why would you do that to me? You know how much I love pancakes. I'm sending you the bill for the therapist I'm going to have to see now and I'll need to see a hypnotist to make me forget."

Rebecca tries to stop herself laughing but only succeeds in looking like a cartoon dog as she puts her hand up to her mouth as she sniggers breathlessly.

"Yeah alright Muttley. If you tell me that makes me Dick Dastardly and over emphasise the Dick part I swear it's the last thing you'll ever do and you'll go to your grave not knowing the truth."

Rebecca frantically waves her hands in front of her face in the manner normally reserved to stop passing cars in an extreme emergency as tears rolled down each cheek.

"Don't be using all your tears up because you're going to need some left for when I slap you hard in a minute."

Heads were now turning round to see what all the commotion was about in the far corner of the café. The man sat at the table to the right who'd clearly been earwigging hadn't escaped Jess's attention as she turned her head towards him as his body convulsed with silent laughter. "Oi mister you can stop it and all otherwise you'll be getting a slap next!" He holds his left hand up by way of apology, clearly insincere and not meant as he tries to regain his composure and fails spectacularly as he snorts loudly which only adds to Rebecca's own amusement. 

"You know what bollocks to both of you. Maybe you two should date instead?" Jess says before standing up and prepares to march off with blood now pumping through her veins speeding like a Japanese Bullet train down to her right hand making her fingers twitch readying themselves to take possible action. The thought certainly crosses her mind that actually maybe a smack around the back of the head wouldn't go amiss. Does she have the self control?

What's your poison of choice?

He sat and watched intently as the woman on the table opposite sat stirring a spoon slowly round and round the mug in front of her absent mindedly. Even the clinking of metal on the porcelain couldn't stir her back to reality from whatever land her thoughts had whisked her off to. Her gaze on a fixed point somewhere behind him but whilst physically present, clearly she was deep in thought. Usually he'd have made a point to ask her to stop because the noise grated on him but for some reason with her it felt mean for him to do so. Besides in truth it wasn't doing him any physical harm and it gave him the perfect chance to study her face without her being any the wiser. He let out the briefest of smiles to himself as the thought flashed across his mind that he truly is as fickle as the next man. One rule for one, another rule entirely when it comes to pretty women.  Finally on some level her senses must have alerted her to the clinking sound and she looked down at the mug in s...

P is for pretentious and C is for...

Charles Callaghan sat down in his drawing room to partake in his daily ostentatious breakfast consisting only of two black cups of Grand Moka Matari Coffee made by Bacha Coffee served in a Hermés Cheval D’Orient coffee cup and saucer, completed with a print edition of the Financial Times. No one was exactly sure the precise point in time he'd slipped into being an utter cunt, but associates surmised it was probably around the summer of 2003. It hadn't been a laborious process on his part, he found it was a naturally occurring talent, some might even go as far as to suggest it was a God given one. Whichever it was, once Charles had discovered his niche he saw no reason to deviate from his position. If Charles’ behaviour was to the chagrin of his wife Penelope then she didn't demonstrate it outwardly at least. This may have had something to do with her weekly trysts with her horse riding instructor whereby the only thing being ridden was Penelope somewhere into next week much...

Pink candy floss kisses

From the ongoing series of observations from evening walks... Pink clouds hang statically across the horizon like candy floss kisses. A man checks his teeth in the mirror of a transit van, styles it out by saying hello to me and vanishes quickly inside his house. A man on a racing bike descends quickly down a hill living out his Tour de France dreams in his head with every pedal stroke. Another man cycles past with a red dome skid lid on and a yellow bag which says something about 20 litres of water. All he's missing is a coil of rope around his shoulder and he could join mountain rescue. Oh and a mountain of course in one of the flattest regions in all of England. A rather large man with receding hair pushed back into a pony tail slowly shuffles past. If he was yellow he'd look like the character from the Simpsons. I make a mental note to try and remember which one. It's the same mental note I make every time I see the guy and never remember to do it. On the other side of ...
