The hot spot

Dun laoire · 10-10-2008 9:57pm #1

What a horrible lonely place.

Was at a wedding a few years ago. Just ate the dinner etc.. I went up to the bar to get in a round of drinks. Now there was a few people up at the bar ordering and next you hear the clank of spoons hitting glasses and people saying "shhhh" "be quiet" with the grooms father loudly saying "Can we have your attention please" etc... So they all shuffle back to their seats from the bar with drinks in hand and then all goes quiet. Except yours truly is still up there trying to work out what the hell i needed to order but trying to keep a low profile while the grooms father is about to start. Now you've got to picture this. Room in total silence all eyes on the top table, your man behind the bar quietly (pretty much wispering) tells me how much is due for the round. Talk about perfect timing, just as i was opening my wallet to pay up this alarm goes off at the bar (why i dont know?) Next thing all attention turns to me standing there. One of the quick witted fukers shouts really loudly. "Look he's opened his wallet" and of course all 200+ guests are pissing themselves at my expense. I'm no lip reader but i am convinced i could see the priest saying "fuking hate that" as he pointed in my direction. What can you do but laugh? Gotta say though, Mark got me big time with that one.

So what about ye?

An alarm at the bar?
And it's unlikely anyone ever was in the exact same situation- except in other quantam realities.

Did you not just shout "I ****ed the bride!"?

Is this why I don't like Dun Laoghaire?

stovelid · 11-10-2008 1:15am

I thought this was a dirty thread about "the hot spot". I intend to sue.
