PeteMorris Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Well I met my old flame yesterday in Atkinson's coffee bar. It was quite as shock as he was not in the slightest like the handsome chap I remembered. He is now very large, uses a walking stick ,is deaf and has food stains down his pullover. His conversation was very smutty to say the least and his past memory are not what I can recall. He started to reach over the table to hold my hand which was very uncomfortable so I made an excuse to leave. I ran up the Moor. Good grief!...What on earth was the bloke thinking?....But having said that, if you hadn't met, you would never have known, and maybe always wondered...Now you know!......As they say, there are plenty more fish!...Fancy a coffee?

dafodil Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Are you sure they were food stains? Joking aside sorry it didnt go well for you. But on the plus side at least you got a free coffee The food stains looked as though he had porridge for breakfast as for the coffee I paid for my own!

Jim Graham Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Everyone should just do it. Life's too short. Over the years I've been in touch with some ex girlfriends. Sadly, I've met some of them at funerals recently which is an indication that time is running out for us all. I look at some of them and think "blimey, that was a lucky escape" and I look at others and I think "if only". It's all part of the rich tapestry of life. I went to a rock festival a couple of weeks ago to see Black Sabbath, one of my favourites from a bygone era. I wore jeans, long (ish) hair and a Black Sabbath T Shirt. Nobody thought me odd. Most of my mates are jealous I've actually still got hair. It's nice once in a while to relive past memories and nothing wrong with living in a time less stressful is there? Now I'm back in the real world ........................ but I enjoyed my weekend back in the '70s. It did me good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you for giving it a go though, and at least you've got a funny story out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullerboY Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What did you expect him to look like meeting in Atkinsons,David Bowie?Anyhow perhaps you were a shock to him and he was just relieved you made a quick exit,it was 40 yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected him to be well dressed and to behave like the gentleman I thought I remembered. I have also never liked David Bowie as he dressed and acted like a silly girl. As to my appearance well I take pride in myself both in dress and hopefully in being nice to people . Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't meaning to be rude to you but people who go in Atkinsons are of a certain age,after 40yrs he was not a young man anymore and you would not be the dolly bird he remembered either,perhaps you should have stayed a bit longer and found out his circumstances or if he had any traumas in his life which had possibly changed him.Bowie may have acted like and dressed like a silly girl and come on he was not alone but he is very wealthy. Maybe this old flame still thought a lot about you and was trying to say that he realized that he had made a big mistake all those years ago and did not know how to express his feelings in my oppinion for what its worth is you ought to have listened to his story and if you wern't happy just said that it was a long time ago.Have you condsidered that you may have hurt his feelings as well and that he may be very lonely and just needed a friend from the past.
