27. World’s Greatest Lover (1), at a pub, Bristol City Centre

Jack-the-Lad (21), over a pint of beer:  This short blonde bird comes up to me and says hello and I’m like “Who’s she?”  And it turns out we had a good time on New Year’s Eve after the others went home... 

Drinking buddy (24):  You shocker!  Gordon Bennett!*  You couldn’t remember her?

Jack-the-Lad:  Well, sort of… but I was, like, blank.  She goes “Don’t you remember me?”  and I goes “Yeah, I remember how freezing it was in that lounge...”

Drinking buddy:  Couldn’t you even remember that she was a blonde?

Jack-the-Lad:  You don’t look at the mantelpiece while you’re poking the fire, know what I mean?

*Expression of surprise used in Bristol and other places...
