48Originally posted by Old Hack View PostCome back last night from short break with Mrs. H. We'd been in Northern Spain, Rioja, looking around, sampling the local delights.
In a village we'd got a house, through some friends of friends. I popped out to buy some ciggies and avoid getting shouted at for smoking by my wife. In the local bar, having a nice beer and a fag, a peroxide lady came in, looking as though she'd allow you to sample her fare by the hour, pulling a contraption. I sensed some electricity building up, so stayed a little longer, only to witness the woman perform some gymnastics, or gynaecology, on the machine, which was armed with many sticky out things.
I had to stay quite a long time, to ensure I saw each apparatus. I haven't explained it to my wife as yet, although she did sense an improvement in my mood that night, so wanted to ask, have you seen anything like this before, or anything equally, or more so, bizarre?

Strangely enough, just before she appeared we thought something bad was about to happen as there was suddenly a large number of police men in the nightclub... turns out they were just there for a perv
Might have to look this up on the internet, I thought it quite bizarre, in a good way, but bizarre no less.
Just didn't expect it in this rural area. Not one bit. Glad it's a spanish thing though!

It wasn't something I'd thought about at the time, it all seemed to be functioning pretty well. Not too sure I would have cared to be honest. The Spanish chaps seemed to enjoy the night too.
