"I'm an arsehole"



"Yes, you are" said Councillor Lewis.

-------------------------------------------------------------

We rang Auntie Sharon (hasn't she got a lot of different names, boys & girls?) to see of we could borrow her car and ended up in a long conversation about whether she and Don should come down to our place to enjoy a bottle or two, or whether we should go up to Shaz's pad. Betty Harvey's maid won the day, and we ventured into the cold night air clutching a bottle of 1997 Pauillac to share in front of a blazing log fire.

Don was impressed to be told all about his son-in-law's comment on this blog (see "an outstanding insult") and uttered something unprintable about our Scottish cousins.

Don was actually in disgrace, hence the title of this posting. We learned that he'd had one or two more than might be strictly wise the evening before and, as he put it, had "failed in all of his duties that night". Sitting on the floor he flung his arms wide and admitted to the world (well, the three of us who were there) that he is the proverbial "arsehole". Sharon agreed and the photo shows her berating him for not ringing to tell her he wasn't going to come (read into that whatever you will).

It was an enjoyable floorshow, well lubricated by decent Bordeaux. Don didn't attempt too much in the way of singing, always a relief. We did one or two choruses of "Me & Bobby McGee" before giving it up as a bad job.

There's at least one slightly thick head chez themillbrooker this morning and it isn't Nicky's. There may be a slightly hungover Father Christmas on the Lions' sleigh this evening.

Glad to see my dad is living up to his reputation as ever. Funnily enough all his wives (ex or otherwise) have called him 'that sod', but 'arsehole' makes a new name for the new millennium. Keep Blogging Joshua, the world is indeed watching....
