Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 00:42:55 Ended up in the only place open till late(r) on a sunday in exeter. Me and a my housemate were in timepiece having a few drinks. Went and got some cigges form the machine. Then went to ask the nearest somker if I could borrow her lighter.
That's the back story. Ended up that she was the helper lady for the disabled bird next to her. So while she was finding a lighter out of her bag I tried chatting to the wheelchair bird. She couldn't speak proprerly and really couldn't understand a word she was saying. So I went back to chat with my mate and then she got her helper to wheel her over to our table. So I tried chatting to her for a bit, still couldn't understand a word she was saying. Got her helper to sit with us as well and bought them both a drink. Helper lady said she couldn't understand her either, but the four of us sat there having conversation and I'd try and understand her when she was talking to me but still didn't get a word of it. End of the night came along and I could undersand bits of what she said when the music was off, but agreed that we might go do a pub quiz with her next week. I feel bad because she obvioulsy loved the attention of me trying to talk to her. But she wasn't fit and I couldn't understand a word whe was saying. I shouldn't feel bad because I didn't give her attention because I felt sorry for her she was just next to me while I was thiefing a lighter, didn't evem think anything of it. Don't know if any of this makes any sence because I'm drunk. but basically I don't fancy the (very) dissabled bird but should I do the pub quiz next week? Wouldn't be a problem but she seemed to really like me, that might be myself presuming stuff anyway though. Argh Argh Argh. Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, October 17, 2005, 00:50:23 I got myself into a very similar situation on a drunken night out in Oxford. Was dancing like a lunatic as per usual in Shark End, decided to try dancing with a group of 3 girls, one of whom was disabled. Was trying to play the nice guy card by chatting to the disabled girl first, before making a move for one of the other two, but suddenly found that she got very clingy.....followed me round the rest of the night and had to eventually leave empty handed :x
In response FB, i wouldn't bother Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: yeo on Monday, October 17, 2005, 00:51:55 It make you sound like a decent chap and shes probably not used to people bothering to attempt conversation with her.Maybe you could set her up with Kinky Tom :D
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 00:52:10 you're right, I should treat her like any other bird I don't fancy and just not go to the quiz.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Yeovil's right, just makes you seem like a proper bloke :smile1: And if you don't fancy her, you don't fancy her. Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:09:23 It's weird though because I havn't got a problem about chatting to anybody, wheelchair or weird haircut or green or oxford fan or brighton fan etc. I'm normally happy to ignore the attention of these fucked up people.
But I now feel bad that I felt bad because she was in a wheelchair, if that makes sence. It shouldn't have made a difference, but it did. Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:12:23 That's a whole lot of bad feeling Ben! To avoid further bad feeling, don't see her again and stop feeling bad about feeling bad, if that makes sense.
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: yeo on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:13:57 I imagine you as looking like a young Bob Dylan :D
Well at least having his curly hair. Not relevant but there you go. Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:29:31 my hair is pretty straight bit it's quite long. My house mates call me kurt after that nivarna bloke, although I don't look that much like him . It's Just because three of the other lads have been named jew, black and arab. Best I've come up with for the 5th bloke is scientolgist(sp), but that's because he's got tom cruise sun glasses when we are playing poker.
That all sounds a bit racist bit it's not really. Black is from india so he's not really black, Jew looks a bit like that semi-jewish OC dude and I've explained tom cruice. To be fair scientoligist hasn't really caught on so I might call him something else. No one calls Ed Arab either, got more hope of that one catching on than scientologist though. Sure Nivarna nad some good tunes but I'd much rather have a religion/race nickname like every one else Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:49:36 Oh and I got 2 cans of fosters and a lighter out of the helper. So really a profitable night all round
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:50:31 They sell cans in nightclubs?
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:56:17 nah they'd won them in a quiz or something. I'm drinking the second one now although I could really do with another beer when it's gone. I wish beer could be sent through the internet, that way I could buy some online and then drink it now
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: STFC Village on Monday, October 17, 2005, 01:59:53 Blimey, that was nice of her (helper), perhaps you should go to the quiz after all!
You sound like a borderline alcoholic Ben, still drinking at 3am on a Monday morning 8) Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: yeo on Monday, October 17, 2005, 02:05:35 Ben is skill.
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 17, 2005, 02:10:24 I do need to cut down a bit on the drinking. Realised today when one of my housemates (the jew) accused me of being an alcoholic and my response was 'I don't think I drank anything on tuesday'
Normaly I'd start running out of money about now and have to live off about £30 a week for the rest of term, but because I worked over the summer and got paid lots recently I've still got a lot of spare cash. Won't last long the rate I'm spending it though. Your average student does live well below the poverty line though. I see £70 / week food and drink and bill money as luxury.

Something a little like this.....FB at quiz night.? http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/weatherunderground/images/film_dylan.jpg As a bit of a quiz git....I'd say do the quiz, disabled bird, may be really clever, just finds it difficult to communicate...it will also throw the opposition. As long as you show yourself to be a complete nerd, there's no chance of any woman being interested...well it works for my mates.

Post by: Mark Hanrahan on Monday, October 17, 2005, 12:16:54 Hats off to you Ben - although I'd not be happy knocking around with anyone looking to offload cans of beer on a whim... unless I'm laying face down in my shish in the town square being pulled from a puke-drenched slumber by a local, good-deed doing tramp. :run:

Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Monday, October 17, 2005, 17:17:52 whats her disability like? if she has dodgy legs that can be thrown about it might be worth a poke.
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: McLovin on Monday, October 17, 2005, 22:39:10 if you go with, the other teams might go easy in sympathy, thus leaving you free to win the cash prize. At which point you fuck off to a different pub.
Title: I feel bad and I don't know why..... Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, October 18, 2005, 00:30:43 I might go, I'm undeicided yet.
