Yesterday we unplugged the studio at TPA. The remodelling is going ahead as planned, and the builders start tomorrow. We finished so late I missed the last train, and had to find a more circuitous route home.
We unplugged and stored everything: desk; patch-bays; racks of kit; monitors; speakers; computers....everything.
Steve's new business partner is an amusing young woman in her twenties. She has lots of chaps fluttering around her, trying to help her out. One of these is quite a personable young man who has just left the Royal Engineers. I gently pointed out to him that he should be a little more assertively individual when madame asks him to jump through flaming hoops.
Oh well, I shall look on with benign amusement: the young lady is evidently an incorrigible flirt, as is her wont; and which is, I suppose, proper in the young. But she really shouldn't try to vamp her elders....cynical old buggers like me see through that sort of stuff, in the same way that Old Ladies always get my number exactly: not to be trusted, but a damn good laugh.

I was working the door for a friends band. I had just shown up to see them, but seeing as how the leader of the band was incapable of dealing with the door under the best of circumstances, I took over. Through the evening a very cute, and as the evening went along, slightly tipsy waitress kept flirting with me. After a certain point she started doing the lean. Every man loves the lean, but at a certain point I felt enough was enough. I took her firmly but gently by her very slim shoulders and said "They're very nice, but please take them off my chest".

She walked away. After about 5 feet turned and looked at me. Then walked over to some friends, said something to them, and as one they all looked at me.

Poor little thing, I think I may have invalidated her entire world view with that one sentence.

Well, kudos to you for the benign amusement. The whole business tends to make me pretty grumpy. Especially when you tell the flirt to stop and they don't. I guess I just don't get flirting.
