    Live with it or find somewhere else to drink.

    Don't fall into the same trap twice by admitting you liked Wham.
    Yup. Avoid wearing your arseless chaps for a few weeks too, try to throw him off the scent.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      A few weeks ago I was at the bar having a conversation with this bloke and he started talking about Queen and said he had been listening to their first album a lot recently. When asked for my opinion I lied as I didn't want to cause offence and said I thought the first album was a cracking lp.

      Now the problem is that everytime I see him he wants me to go and sit in his car in the carpark and listen to it with him. This has been going on for 4 weeks now and I'm running out of excuses.

      I just don't want to be locked in his car listening to the Seven Seas of Rye with him. I think he's perhaps a bit odd.

          So you're in a pub and some random bloke tries to engage you in conversation by asking you if you like Freddy Mercury? Call me 'wise after the event' but I think I might have worked out there and then what was going on.

              Are you sure you're not in one of those 'dogging' car parks?

              Does he start to flash his lights at other cars and dismisses them as being "other Queen fans" ....

                When I first moved to Brighton to the right of where that fat fella is sitting about 1/2 mile up, left and just behind the art college was a gay pub called the 'Queens Head'(gone now). What was noticeable about it was it's pub sign. It was Freddie Mercurys face.

                  My advice would be to join him in his car and have some fun listening to "The seven seas of rye".

                    I like Seven Seas Of Rhye. Cracking.

                    Don't know the album though.

                      The only option is to move pubs i'm afraid.

                      If you've been doing that for the last 4 weeks, you'll have already got the reputation amongst the regulars that you are probably a shirt lifter. Only way to save face is to make sure you always smell of weed and drop hints you are having a toke out there.
