Tea? (Part 2)

[Baggy]

I just popped over to see what potsy and Phil said about yesterday's ride. I have one question ...

That is my left leg in the background. I know that I was having a few problems with my right leg yesterday but it didn't actually fall off, so where is it!

Were you performing a roundhouse kick to try and rescue that poor cake from being eaten?

 

[Speicher]

I always think that time is a great healer. Can you keep out of the way of A and X for a couple of weeks? You did what you did in good faith but A sounds a bit of a trouble maker. In a couple of weeks, I suspect this will all be forgotten. Also, I think you might be right about X behaving in a professional manner.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I may meet some of X's colleagues later this week. It should be easy to keep out of the way of Person A, for at least a couple of months. That is what I intend to do. The whole situation is so puzzling and preposterous, that I wanted to read what other people thought. I can understand someone getting cross if I told lies, but to threaten to go ballistic because I told someone the truth, where they had a right to know the truth, is beyond my comprehension.

I place a very high importance on telling the truth.*

I am disappointed with person A if they think telling lies is the best way forward.

* With the exception of the "Tell a lie about the above poster" thread.

You 'aven't got a leg to stand on....

Well, I have, but apparently I haven't got a pair of them!

Joking aside - I am genuinely baffled by that picture. Unless potsy has done some clever Photoshopping, I can't figure it out!

The only reason that my other leg would be in the air out of shot would be if I was in the middle of swinging it over my bike, but the bike isn't there either!

 

[Speicher]

Exactly! It won't stop you worrying about it, but i think you've taken the right approach (even if it might have been a bit inadvertent!).

I was tempted to admit to telling the truth. But I do not see why I should be put in that position, and on the receiving end of their misplaced contempt.

He sounds hopping mad

... and the other factor is that I have a dodgy hip so I can't do high kicks any more. In fact, it was so sore when we stopped in Keighley that I had to lower the bike towards the pavement in order to dismount and mount it!

 

[Speicher]

Could that be your right leg and you are stretching your left leg by placing it on top of the notice board thingy in the picture?

I doubt it he could hardly get on his bike never mind doing a gymnastics routine outside the cafe

Agreed, there's hopefully every chance it will all blow over, and unless you really need to there's no point putting yourself in the firing line.

 

[Speicher]

Thank you every one who has replied. It is reassuring to know that you can see my point of view on this.

It must now be time for some tea and toast.

It must now be time for some tea and toast.

It's *always* time for tea and toast.

 

[ColinJ]

Nope! If my legs do anything other than go directly forwards or backwards, my hips hurt. Walking and cycling are okay but gymnastics, yoga, weird stretches, the breast stroke kick, miscellaneous erotic activities which a gentleman such as myself would not discuss on a public forum (), or any sport that involves running or leaping about ... are not!

As for the question of telling lies to manipulate someone into getting a desired result ... I've been put in that position and it did my head in! Stick to your guns and what happens, happens. Anything that starts with lies does not end well!

 

[Speicher]

It is time for me to say goodnight.

 

[Arch]

Right, I'm off to bed, to sleep, perchance to work out where Colin's leg's gone....

 

[phil_hg_uk]

It is time for me to say goodnight.

Goodnight
