Smooth Dave, smooooth :D

I've never really been randomly drinking with a girl - I've always known them or known of them. Males just seem to aways hold some common ground no matter what, making conversation easier; a few times I've been pissed out my head, joined in someone else conversation and invited them out to the next pub with us.

I do remember another funny situation -

It was my mates 21st, we were in Derby and somehow ended up in Flares (the shitty 60's club). Some lad was dressed up as Austin Powers so he got all the usual comments shouted across the pub to him.

I went outside for a fag and he was out there, got into a bit of a conversation, nothing major. I went to the bar and he was there, again he spoke to me and randomly burst out with "I'm gay you know" - which I was a bit confused by, its not the sort of thing you randomly blurt out during a conversation.

With the dazzled look on my face he said, "What? You don't believe me?" I'd never doubted his sexuality, but to just prove he was he tapped a guy on the shoulder and full on kissed him. Austin Powers then turned around and let out the gayest, campest scream and said "Chill babe, he's my flatmate".

I turned around and walked away.

Before anyone says it, I'm not homophobic, but what I am nervous about are massively over camp males who tell me to 'chill babe'. Not exactly a random drink situation, but if he hadn't done that I probably would have gone out on the piss with him and been none the wiser.

Completely off topic...

Reminds me of New Years eve last year. Me and Danny were walking to his sisters at about 9pm along the main road. The path isn't very well lit and there's a long row of bushes separating the path from the school. Danny was walking closest to the bushes and I imagine the shadows of the bushes meant he was pretty much unseeable from the road, I was walking closest to the road meaning I would have been visable. Anyway, a Vauxhall Cavalier comes speeding along the road and slows down right next to me and Danny, we just carried on walking. 4 men get out the car - 3 from the back and 1 from the passenger door. I notice one of the men is carrying a metal object in is hand, my guess is it's a knife. Feeling a bit insecure I ask Danny to move round to the other side of me, closer to the men. As he does so, I'm pushed into the shadows and he'd then be visable to the men. The second Danny's in the light the men all turn round, run and jump back in the cars before pulling away...

Anyway, I couldn't.

Wait, so he scared of 4 guys, one with a Knife just by looking at them?

She said it was metal object and 'assumed' a knife. She never suggested he scared them off, she just said they got back in the car - it could have been anything, she doesn't even know what their intentions were.

I've tried it a few times, works now and again. Leeds train station is a good spot for it because people are generally waiting around and there are plenty of pubs.

At uni we used to let anyone sleep in our front room and spare room. We'd wake up in the morning and there'd be some guy asleep on the sofa who we didn't know. One time I found some guy passed out at the taxi rank so i bundled him in a taxi and stuck him in my mates room. He woke up in the morning having no idea what was going on, luckily my mate didn't come home that night. That could have been weird.

Last year I was riding home from town on my motorbike and I had ran out of petrol. This was about 12 o'clock in the morning, no where was open except a 24 hour petrol station about an hours walk, or an hour and a half with my motorbike. About half way there I remember a van pulling over and a bloke getting out about 15 meters ahead, I didn't really think anything of it and walked on, (this was at about 1am). He approached me and asked if I wanted a lift, saying that he was a keen motorcyclist himself and had been in the same situation before. I declined and he offered again, in more of an aggressive tone. Again, I told him I was alright and thanked him for the offer. He opened up the back of his van and then grabbed my arm as I walked off again. I dropped my bike and tried to rip my arm away from him, as I pulled back he got me in a bear-hug and lifted me up (baring in mind I'm close to 100kg). I headbutted him in the face from behind and he dropped me and fell back. I turned punched him in the face and kicked him in the groin, he went down shouting he was going to slit my throat. I grabbed my bike and ran as fast as I could, then ran through a housing estate, literally could not breathe when I got to the petrol station at about 3-4am.

Generally though, if someone asked me to go for a drink with them, as long they didn't seem like a f**k-up or a weirdo I'd accept. I'd probably ask a stranger as well thinking about it.

lmao, thats a great story :P

sounds pretty scary to be honest.

To be honest, im much more at home with the openly gay guys, than the people who are just wierd, and your not sure whether there trying to be your friend, or sleep with you, or abduct you.

Was out in manchester the other month, jumped out on the edge of the gay village, as we were going to a pub a few minutes walk away, but we wer stopped right next to a cash machine in traffic, and needed cash. the 4 of us jumped out (2 guys 2 girls), the girls went to use the cash machine whilst me an my mate stood there chattin crap, an extremely camp male in his 40's started shouting stuff to my mate(not sure if he was hoping he was gay, or just having a laugh) anyway, it turned into a great few minutes banter, of us shouting abuse at him and his mates, and them shouting it back, all in good fun though(as in we wer laughing about it with each other, not squaring up to each other).

Whereas last month I was out in a rather quiet pub at about 4pm on a friday, me, a couple of mates, my mates gf, and a few of her workmates, I go to the bar alone, stood next to me at the bar, is a bloke whos got to be gettin on for mid 50's overweight, badly fitted suit etc, sipping on a shot of what looked like pernod. as I was waiting for my drink to be poured, he made eye contact with me, and said "Do you like salmon", im not sure if this is some homosexual innuendo,or he was doing a survey, or had some for sale. I just thought the bloke was a total wierdo to be fair, So I did the only thing I could think of appropriate in that situation, attempt to be slightly more wierd,ignored him till I got my drink, waited for him to look at me again, scratched my chin for a moment, looked thoughtful, and answered "it depends how it is cooked" and walked off.

Following on from a conversation I had at work today, I wanted to see what you guys would do.

I was asked if I would go up to a total stranger on the street that I liked the look of, if they would go out for a drink with me. It was said, that according to the law of averages, if you asked enough people, eventually you would get a positive reply. Question is though, would you do it?

Make a new facebook profile,

Add 100 strangers,

Inbox those stranger asking them to meet up,

Wait 1 week,

Get results,

...

Profit??

He's not that much of a monster, if we didn't get on (which we do) I certainly wouldn't feel intimidated by his build/size.

Yer but that's not the point, it takes alot more to abduct two people than one (trust me :shifty:), they may only have one set of ropes for a start haha, an they could hardly just let him leave cos he'd alert people.

It's just not worth the risk when there's probably a girl walking along just down the road, so Hannah and Danny are directly responsible for someone elses abduction.

Clearly not, if I saw a hot piece of ass like Hannah's walking down the road I'd smash Mohammed Ali to hit it.

:lol:
