Hi DSOriginally posted by Doggy Styles View PostHello Gricer!
Very embarrassing! It's a good job she didn't slip whilst summoning you and fall on her back, legs ineligantly akimbo. Misinterpreting that could have been a lot worse!

Who are you?Originally posted by gricerboy View PostImagine the situation. You're a socially awkward gricer and you've reluctantly agreed to attend the wedding of a friend of a friend.
So, not really knowing anyone you've spent the day feeling like a bit of a spare part and you are just beginning to feel that those off the cuff remarks people are making to one another consist of the words "who is he?".
Never mind, it will all be over soon for it is the final act in this tortuous showpiece of my social ineptness - the disco.
And, in time honoured tradition, it begins with the bride and groom taking to the floor whilst the rest of us gather round in a circle to observe their gyrations.
Then, I suddenly become the subject of the bride's attention and a gesticulation has me break free from the throng to join the happy couple with a little solo routine of my own in front of a room full of people I barely know. As soon as I am in full flow, though, I really am not imagining the words "who is he?" this time as it dawns on me that I had misinterpreted the bride's signal for somebody to take a photo as a request for me to join them on the floor.
And whats more, once I'd started there was no way of extricating myself in an elegant manner and I had to endure what was surely the longest 3 minutes of my life.Last edited by DaveB; 15 December 2013, 15:33.
