Don't you hate those conversations...

[gbb]

Guy at work said to me...
'I saw you Thursday evening !!'
'Oh yeah, where was that'
'Down Oundle Road...did you hear me beep at you ?'
Err, no, don't think so'
'Yeah, i did, i'm sure it was you'
'Might have been then'
'You didn't hear me beep then'
'Errr, no don't think so' (getting slightly exasperated now)
'Yeah, i'm sure it was you'

'Where exactly was it then ?'
'Oundle Road'
'Yeah, where on Oundle Road'
'Up near blah blah...you must have heard me beep at you'

(getting p1ssed off now)
'No, i don't think so'
'Yeah, you were on your bike'
'I dunno ' (i'm looking for something to jab in my eyeballs now)
'Yeah, i'm sure it was you'

FFS....how long is this going on for, i'm thinking.

'Could have been someone else then'
'Yep, possibly was'
'Yeah, my missus said..he didn't look very pleased when you beeped him'
'Well sometimes it catches you by surprise, sometimes you don't even know who beeped'
'Right....are you sure it wasn't you ?'


I'm getting wound up recalling this lot.....jesus, what a pointless 5 minutes of my life....FFS

Bless him, he's a nice sort, Tim, nice but dim....he did this to me a few months ago, aimless, pointless conversation when i was really busy...after 2 minutes of it, i said 'Wayne (the clues in the name there )...'if you havn't got something worthwhile to say...fcuk off'

God, i wish i was at home now.....

You mean you didn't hear the beep? are you sure you didn't?

Sound like Wayne knows how to pull your chain!

I think you should get Wayne to imitate the sound of the beep to see if it jogs your memory. The only other way of solving the mystery would be to do an Oundle Road beep reconstruction.

Had a workmate do this to me a while back. I said to him the next day something like "Sorry I didnt wave back, the road surface half took my attention, plus the driver behind who thought you'd beeped him." The other driver was giving him the coffee shaker, he took my point onboard. He's a nice bloke and it would have been a shame to see him get road raged.

Now bear in mind that I've sat next to her for two-and-a-half-years. I was in brown cycling baggy shorts, with tights, my silly blue noodle, claret and white socks, claret and white rugby top

You wear that stuff to work as well, User?

Most mornings on my way to work my mate normally peeps at me and we exchange "Victory" signs to each other to the astonishment of other road users (all in good fun i must add ) I have also been known to try and climb into my other mates Ford Galaxy at a set of lights near work which does get some funny looks..oh what joy
