Had a great time with Nigel (Nige to his friends), yesterday. We met at our usual spot (outside dean Jones house, we have estimated that is exactly half the distance between our two houses), however, Nige was over a minute and half late, he said he was deciding wether to bring his jacket (honestly, that blinking jacket, excuse my language please) in case it got chilly (as if). We set off for our walk. We dont like to go for walks in the countryside, we prefer urban trecking which is just walking around the streets. On our walks we play a number of games. Like spot the bin, which I won today, there was a bit of a moment where Nige got upset, because he shouted bin in my eye (this is what we say whenever we see a bin) and pointed at a skip (full). I said no way,thats a skip, not a bin Nige said it holds rubbish dont it . As quick as a flash I pulled out an empty wrapper off a mars bar from my pocket, and said so is my pocket, but are my trousers a bin? no he said and we carried on. Other games we play include guess the age of old women , ignoring buses and car registration maths . Half way on our urban treck we stopped at a pub for a quick half. It was my week (we have a calender to remind us of whos week it is) to get the drinks in ale? I said, knowing the answer, but its polite to check. Luckily I did because Nige responded with No. What? I said, forgetting all my manners. I think I will go for a cider. Ok, weirdo I said with a cheeky grin on my face. Nige sat outside while I went inside for the drinks. You should have seen his face when I returned with the drinks. Priceless. You see, when I was at the bar, I asked for a half of ale (ipa)and half a cider. The bar person was halfway through pouring the cider when I said excise me, could I have two halves of cider and forget the ale. I can be quite unpredictable at times, it must be my Italian ancestory. call me a weirdo? was Nige first words. Hes a nutter. However, I can tell you this, we enjoyed our ciders so much that we had another one each (we bought or own this time. Otherwise we would have to alter the calender) . Im not saying I will ever be a cider man but on occasions,like warm weather, it really does hit the spot . A bit worse for wear we left the pub and headed home. We played spot someone around the same build as Gary Lineker (self explanatory) Nige won. We got back, high fived, and went home. What a day.
