Trauma 1


So, I've been under the Doctor for a few months. But, she's working.....I'm working...with never see each other...blah...blah - so we split. No big deal.


So I'm at this social event - corporate smoozing, wives and partners etc. I've got some responsibilities for the night, but we have a team who do the work, liaising with the hospitality agency we use. I hadn't met the agency before, so I got introduced to them all, Including the stunning Chloe - like Naomi Campbell without the attitude.



I hadn't mentioned at work that I'd split up with the Dr. I really didn't want to get into it this evening so when anyone asked, I just said she was working nights.



So, to cut to the chase...........as the meal draws to a close, Chloe comes over to my table and says, straight out of the blue, " thought you might like me to lap dance for you later" - I'm not making this up, and she was only half joking. Up to this point I hadn't realised they were a 'full service agency'.



Sounds like an offer not to be missed. But, I'm screwed. Pretty much everyone in the room, including the MD thinks my girlfriend is at this moment, slaving over a hot incubator, saving the 'ickle children. So, if I take the opportunity to shag the hired help, I'm not going to hear the last of it. So whilst Chloe rapidly cools off on the other side of the room (doubtless thinking I'm gay), I have to listen to the MD's wife tell me how wonderful she thinks it is that my girlfriend works in the caring professions!!!!!!!!!!!!!



3.30am I'm still failing to get drunk on the hotel's watered-down vodka, pondering what might have been.

So I'm in the arse end of Wales for a stag do. I don't mind Wales in principle - it amuses me when they have to substitute English words in the middle of sentences to describe modern concepts; like 'wheel' and 'fire'. But it wouldn't be my choice for a stag.


I arrive late, to be sure I've missed the hiking, canoeing, bull buggering, or whatever else passes for entertainment in these parts. However, when I arrive, it's still Wales, still pissing with rain, and I'm still staying in a Youth Hostel. Since I'm neither a 'youth' or a bogus asylum seeker, what the fuck am I doing in a hostel!!!


Needless to say, it's downhill from here. There's no table booked, so we're off wandering around the village looking for somewhere to eat - "table for 24...?". Ending up in a truly awful restaurant waiting an hour for the dish of the day - sausage and chips; having to explain to the barmaid how to make a martini. Then on to our venue for the evening, the back room of some real ale pub to play poker until dawn. Since we're in the wilds of Wales this meant the moment Saturday ticked into Sunday the landlord switched the jukebox off "for Jesus". Since the playlist consisted solely of Peters and Lee, Mud, Bay City Rollers and other 70s detritus I was rather hoping he could have switched it off 3 hours ago "for my ears".


I swear the only woman I spoke to all evening was the gap-toothed hag taking food orders in the restaurant. It wasn't that there weren't woman around. There they were, bored and slutty in the bus shelters; or sucking dow n Barcardi breezers in the pubs....we were walking past. I even saw a Hen Do. "Look, there's a Hen Do" I said, to be met with blank looks from 23 bald, middle-aged men.
