"Oh yes, we met at that party last month..."
Ever had an experience where 30 seconds after a moment has passed you've come up with a withering response to an insult, a devastatingly sexy come-back to a come-on or a fiendishly clever question in a packed meeting room?
Heard one lately to keep in the armoury for next time you're flashed at: "Oh...is it...no... you know that looks exactly like a penis... but smaller". Amused me anyway.
Yesterday at 3.30am, some bloke in a slightly out of the way road nearby, said to M, "Do I know you from somewhere mate?", and as he was saying it, grabbed M by the neck so that the girl he was with could nick his wallet out of his jeans.
First we knew of it, M was hammering on the door, bleeding profusely, with torn trousers and no wallet and keys. After a bit of struggle with the bloke, the girl had beaten him round the head with a bike lock and left him with an ear slashed in two. Pretty gruesome and alarming. Just lucky it wasn't a knife or gun, I guess, though I'm sure it didn't feel that way to M as he sobered up through the entire night of waiting in A&E for tests and plastic surgery.
Doesn't seem to have made M concerned about walking the streets late at night: he's recovered his GSOH remarkably. I've decided on a response to the question (title). Pretty unconvinced that it would have made a difference though.
