Well then Facebook tell me it’s my son’s birthday, so of course because
everything on Facebook is true then it must be! Really all a bit silly isn’t
it? After all again according to Facebook the relationship between us is father
and son, so if they were that clever they would know that I know his birthday!!
What of course is neglected is that he is my younger son and if I were to
write on his wall using their own reminder it would say just how old he is as
well!! So does the fact my younger son is 29 make me feel older than in two
weeks time when I am reminded, again by the book of Face, that my other son is
33? I think it’s today I feel older, just sayin’!
Do you like pure trivia? Does it ever cross your mind that it may have
just been made up?
Guitarist and vocalist of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour borrowed his first
guitar from his neighbour and has never returned it! Who is to say how true that
statement is? I have to say though, that particular one - does amuse me
slightly though whether it is true or not!!
Ordering a take away coffee from Costa the other day and the barista
struggled for ages with the pathetic little plastic lid, so I said, thinking I
was being helpful, “It’s alright I don’t need that!” Well you’d think I had
insulted his mother….. “NO, you have to have it on!” Another maybe 30 seconds
and he succeeded – thankfully as I was losing the will to live! Anyone who
knows me knows I hate those tops and as soon as it is possible I take the lid
off. So do you think I was very good leaving the top on until I was out of the
shop? I do!!
There is strangely enough a very similar tale to be recounted from this
week’s events. I bought, ironically, a Costa cup of coffee from a machine in a
Spar shop and took it to the counter to pay for it. “Sorry I can’t sell that to
you until it has a lid on!” Sh*t I’ve just met your son he works for Costa!!
