Freudian slip

One to add to the showreel of embarrassing foot-in-mouth moments which you cannot erase and which replay in your head every so often:

Me to cute man sitting next to me at the wedding, after the main course:
"Would you like to come outside for a quick inter-course cigarette?"



















PS: It was worth the journey. Not too bad, hey?

Oh, the torture of the mental showreel! I bet he was flattered, though.

Cornwall's proper beautiful, isn't it?

I think that is brilliant - did he notice/look excited/laugh nicely/was charmed? xx

lovely!

I don't think so bad - quite funny!

Clair said...

Yes, I really DO wish I HAD said that!!

Too little information. Tell us you missed Hi Ho Silver Lining because you were outside having a snog.

Reminds me of the time I said that Eric Morecambe used to come into my Mum's Boots.

Because my Mum used to work in Boots.

Good conversation starter. What happened outside? Was he smoking? Arf.

This reminds me I owe you at least half a packet of cigarettes.

But I also think we need to know more!

Social intercourse... it's a nightmare.

Annie said...

It is, Marsha - it was kind of a wrench coming back to dirty, noisy Hackney.

Thanks ladies - it would have been better if I'd said it with a cheeky twinkle, rather than by accident then blushing like a fool. He did laugh.

Clair, I love your glamorous photo.

BiB, I'm breaking with my usual discretion because it's too good dirt not to dish - I didn't even try, because he was married (wife not there) but this didn't stop him later on with another less scrupulous lady... The scandal!

It started off very elegant, and got very very messy in the early hours. A wedding of men behaving badly. And ladies.

Del - hahaha! V funny. (I realised recently that I don't go for smoking hot, tending to think they're out of my league - I go for quirky and funny, which he was.)

B - nothing exciting to tell, though when one of my colleagues copped off with a bloke at the end of the evening, he invited me to join them. (I declined politely.)

Billy, you're so right. I think we should bring back the word intercourse, it's under-used.

Annie said...

Great line, I will keep it in the back of my mind. Not that I am ever smoking ever again.

Intercourse ciggies and offers of threesomes, eh? I think I may be moving in the wrong social circles

Annie said...

Oh Annie. I know it's bad, but it's indispensable when it comes to flirting.

Realdoc, believe me, it was a first for me, and took me aback somewhat.
