As for ...Totally agree about poor Gordon, Michael.<br /><br />As for my fessing up - there are so many instances to choose from. One of the worse was (years ago) meeting the ex-girlfriend of a friend of mine in a pub. She was a nice enough woman, intelligent, pleasant to look at, etc., etc.<br />'Hi,' she said. 'Haven't seen you for ages.'<br />'No,' I said.<br />'You haven't changed a bit,' she said.<br />'Neither have you,' I said.<br />And then, to my eternal shame and for no reason that I had then or can fabricate now, I added 'Maybe you should.'<br /><br />Unforgivable, and I've absolutely no idea where it came from or why I said it.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483405696675036638.post-28850321877891351272010-05-06T17:25:10.486+01:002010-05-06T17:25:10.486+01:00Michael! shush - the wee one might hear yaMichael! shush - the wee one might hear yaTheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317627113212677863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483405696675036638.post-54813662327443255672010-05-06T07:48:47.345+01:002010-05-06T07:48:47.345+01:00Nah, we Scots are much more direct and gutteral.

Unfortunately, I probably stick my foot in my mouth more than most. But fortunately, I have a very short memory and can't think of one instance, ;). I find your phrase 'thinking that somebody HAD to say something and that someone HAD to be me' is the key. I guess I blink first. Thea, don't give up the G&Ts - they help with this very issue!

They had NYC Police bagpipers as part of the entertainment (it was like a wedding) and I was talking to one of the good looking pipers and having had a few gin and tonics, asked him what he was wearing under his kilt (as we all want to know, though rarely voice). So being the bold girl that i am, I reached down and started to pull the hem up and he screamed and ran away and basically spent the rest of the time telling his fellow pipers what I had done. They were irish, of course, and i'm sure he had issues with, ahem, modesty. He probably told his mother, too.Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317627113212677863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483405696675036638.post-19549004978124987202010-05-02T21:11:07.153+01:002010-05-02T21:11:07.153+01:00Hey Linda, nice to hear from you.

You'...I commend you for making your confession. You're WAY braver than I am.<br /><br />In order to give you some company, I will share a very BRIEF version of my biggest foot-in-mouth occurrence. I preface my story with the disclaimer that I was 18 years old at the time, working in my first full-time job, and should be given just a little bit of slack. Maybe.<br /><br />Anyway...I was in the office with my boss, a co-worker, and one of the company owners. Something (I don't remember what) had been messed up and I was on my knees on the floor, fixing it. My superiors stood around me in a circle, watching me struggle. I do recall that any of them could have accomplished my task much quicker.<br /><br />I made a [negative] comment about the intelligence (actually, the lack thereof) of the individual who had messed up whatever I was fixing. Dead silence greeted my comment. I soon learned that the person I'd insulted had the poor timing to enter the office at precisely the moment I opened my big mouth.<br /><br />Even though I sought her out and apologized a short while later, she never spoke to me again. Not even to accept my apology...<br /><br />Ouch!LINDA FAULKNERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059741905691302335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483405696675036638.post-10171021475055105592010-05-02T17:58:48.925+01:002010-05-02T17:58:48.925+01:00agreed, Dezmondagreed, DezmondAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316263425112020638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483405696675036638.post-60508305490086084182010-05-02T17:22:05.409+01:002010-05-02T17:22:05.409+01:00to sum up the story - all politicians should be ar...to sum up the story - all politicians should be arrested and sent to some deserted islands.
