"...but why is the rum gone?!"

or

I've remembered I do have another fear - going down pyramids and being in a tiny space with 50 odd germans - with no air because they were all breathing it. I began to sweat and then shake. Olly had to push them out the way so I could climb up the steps and get out. Poor man, in this country he would have been done for assault!

very very odd, they pushed all the British and French and Chinese out of the way to get down the flaming pyramid apart from Olly Sam and me. I didn't want to go in the first place but found myself being dragged down because Olly called me a scaredy pants. He said he would leave me at the top with the beggers and anyway the Germans were not going to be the only ones down there if he had any say in the matter. They were all singing and pretending to be Tarzan and they wouldn't listen to the guides who said there should only be about 30 people down there at the most. See I am becoming paranoid now - help me out shrinkees. But when I flip I flip, and flip I did - big style.

its a test, done by olly himself. loving his burps and farts are not enough karen he demands more than that. he wants to see if you can pass the ultimate test of his love, to survive a pyramid overfilled with germans. chaucer wrote about it in one of his books, think it was "the zodiac part 6" in which he compiles a list of tests, not just the "german pyramid test" but also tests such as "letting your mate drunkenly put you in a trolley and crash you in bushes test" and the "fitting as many chinese people in a phonebox as you can test" . for god so loved the world that he gave his only phonebox to little 4ft chinese people. amen. but you passed the test and now another german shall never cross your path again.

I've not done the pyramid test, but I've frequently passed the trolley test. Who's passed the "husband shoves you in the hedge on the walk back from the party" test. It's very popular round here. Local husbands think this is hilarious! And they blame you for not walking straight.

do you know what kiddo, you are right I have passed the test - no germans will ever cross my bleeding path again, even when they put their nice towels onto my sunbed at 6.00 in the morning. I will say Oh deedums a sleepy slightly anhibriated person with an endearing accent has endeavoured to put their cloth of drying onto my abode whence I might sleep after I have partaken in a few beverages but hey I can handle that - because I am above it all - a nice gal

Been there and done that.

But worstest was when I was asked to "walk the babysitter home". She was a great big butch 17 year old who could more than look after herself, which was just as well.

She walked along the pavement laughing away to herself as I tried to hold a conversation. My mouth and brain appeared to the thriving on the enormous amounts of drink as I rabbitted on about this and that.

However, my legs were completely Brahms and Liszt. I was vearing right across the road to the far pavement and back again without any control whatsoever of where I was going.

Sometimes I found myself shouting across the road to her as I made some vitally important point and then suddenly I'd notice she was getting closer and closer as my comedy legs decided to re-cross the road yet again.

She thoroughly enjoyed the walk home, having laughed herself hoarse at my expense, but I don't suppose I was offering her much protection. Rather the other way round, I suspect.
