Friendless...

I took this shot this morning when feeling a bit down, but then something happened this evening that made me giggle, so you get a complete mismatch of image to text.

"Whats new?" I hear you thinking.

My lack of commenting on blip has in part been due to the fact I have been helping in the kitchen at 'The Local' in the evenings - it's a case of needs must!!

John Motson aka Motty the leg end ary football commentator drinks in 'The Local'.. A great guy - he can talk about anything - as long as its football related. Football is not a relation of mine - its not even a friend . I don't know my cup from my league or astro-turf from aggregate.

Motty likes to stand by the bar - just where the condiments are kept.

I served a table with their dinner and asked if they would like any sauces .
"Vinegar and ketchup please"

I approached the sauce bottles from the left wing but Motty was covering my line of sight. I stretched out and realised it was going to be an accidental hand ball if I wasn't careful.

"Excuse me" I said " I'm not being saucy, I'm just reaching for the ketchup" (See what I said there - an unintentional pun!!!) and I started to giggle.

"That's alright, you can be as saucy as you like!" He said.

I then had to reach even further past him for the vinegar.. " Sorry, I don't want to be cocky......."
I retreated into the kitchen still giggling.

It would have been the perfect time to come out with this infamous quote of his:
"Brazil - they're so good it's like they are running round the pitch playing with themselves"


Friendless Lane is near Markyate, Hertfordshire. Up until about 40 years ago it was known as Friendle's Lane. The local council sign writers made a typo..
There are other typos on road signs in the area - I will blip them one day.
