Griff here...early afternoon we were becalmed and in our own Scottish version of the doldrums. Andy suddenly announced that it was "time to get his big boy out" I was a tad perturbed about this and was slightly relieved when he produced a much larger sail from his locker . He spent ages trying to get it hoisted but somewhat predictably it failed to do the job and after a couple of minutes flapping around he gave up and put it back in its sack. I have a feeling that Vanessa could have written the last para!!!
We realised today that we have known each other for over 30 years (at times seems so much longer) and know each others stories, embellishments and lies far too well.
Some help please...many of you will remember 1970/80s pop combo duo The Captain and Tenile. Was he in fact a real sea captain (he certainly had a cap and a pipe) or was this a persona he adopted to give himself a mystic that he didn't naturally have? As you can tell it has been a long day and we have run out of conversation.
You can't complain Griff - I've been married to Andy for 23 years. As you say we've heard all the stories, plus all the embellishments that he has told so often and now believes to be true, such as he missed the FA cup final in 1989 as it was on our wedding day. In fact Mr Robinson it was on 20 May that year. Can you remenber who it was between, clue - it was a derby? Do you want me to suggest some other topics of conversation?
