Title: Mr Nick, Brian Patten, Roger McGough and the mysterious redhead (at Barman's req
Post by: Nick on April 23, 2008, 09:38:15 AM

Many many years ago I worked in Wandsworth which has/had a ferocious one way system.

One Friday evening the bastards shut it for some bridge repairs causing traffic chaos. I left work and it took me an hour to go half a mile so I stopped at this place  http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/12/1281/Ship_Inn/Wandsworth (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/12/1281/Ship_Inn/Wandsworth)
( cloud9:) for a pint or 9

A vision of delight appeared next to me at the bar (redhead) and ordered a drink. I hasten to add that this was pre-Mrs Nick! spider:

I was smitten. And also pissed.

Too nervous to approach her (she was with four female friends) I wrote the following on a small piece of paper:

Hello,

I think you are lovely.

If you would like dinner sometime call me on this number (my number)

Nick"

I then folded up the piece of paper as small as I could, legged it to the door, thrust it into her hand and left, driving off fast.

I then forgot all about it (Effect of Youngs)

About 4 days later my phone rang and a husky female voice said, "hello, this is Louise. Thanks for your note. Let's meet"

She suggested the Chelsea Arts Club

I went along.

At the bar (I was early for some reason) I tried to order a drink. "Are you a member?"

No

At which point the guy next to me said, "I am, and I will buy you a drink"

It was Roger McGough with Brian Patten

We got chatting. I explained why I was there. They were delighted and we went and sat at a table where they could see the door and I couldn't.

"What does she look like?" they asked.

"Dunno, red hair"

They then gave a commentary of the "Christ what a dog!" type until "Louise" eventually turned up.

She was very nice! eyes: eyes: eyes: eyes:
