You must have seen those great Western Movies of the 60s where the film ends with the baddy. and the goody preparing for a quick draw shootout. Well 50 years on, I had my own shootout yesterday. I was on Hospital visits, and as usual all the Car Parks were full. I pulled up at one barrier to the car park and to the side of me was another barrier. About 10 minutes later (yes 10 bloody minutes) another car pulled up by the side of me. We both looked at each other, knowing, that when the touch screen car park sign flashed from full to spaces, that the quickest to touch the screen would get in. At the same time we both spotted a nurse making her way to her car, and knew, that when she reached the exit barrier, then one of us would win the draw. It was tense as we stared each other out, keeping one eye on our screens (bloody hurts your eyes that). The seconds ticked away as the nurse approached the exit. I noticed a bead of sweat appear on the top lip of the driver next to me. The exit barrier raised and we both went for the screen. Blowing the imaginary smoke from my finger I drove into the empty space!!!! I would live to park another day.
Good blow last night and really enjoyed the whole evening. It was commented on how well balanced the Band was. Cracking night and new bone holding up well.
I have gone all romantic this year and booked a table for two for me and my partner. Gosh I hope she can play snooker
