A Good Game.


As promised a mildly funny story:

Last week, literally minutes before the kick-off for the Champions League Final between Barcelona and Arsenel, I was multitasking my way (speeding down the stairs, listening to voice-mail, talking with Dezza who witnessed the entire thing) to Nova’s house to watch said game. I slipped on the manically wet and smooth stairs, and bounced down three steps on my tail bone. You would think that my ever expanding bottom would have cushioned the fall, but for some reason the fat that I had been packing on for months malfunctioned. This makes me wonder what the point of eating so much is when it does not work for you. While bouncing my ass down the stairs my phone was knock out of my hand and fell 1 floor. Like a typical slave to technology the first thing I asked for when I could think past the blinding pain in my bottom was where is my phone. Now I must give a shout out to Sony Ericsson for making such a durable phone that after this violent fall only sustained minor injuries (20 or so scratches), and was still functional after I switched it on. Dezza being the gentlemen that he is picked me (and my phone) up and swore to never mention this to anyone. I turned to go back to our flat (to nurse my aching rear) before I realised that he was going to watch sport and drink beer with two other guys and that a funny story about Spice falling down the stairs would fit in perfectly. I turned and walked on (actually hobbled) to Nova’s house to make sure that my good name would not be blemished by this scandal. True to his word Dezza never said a word, and I stood for the first 15 minutes of the first half before a caved and gingerly lowered my bottom into a beanbag. I was wearing my favourite shoes when this happened and I maintain that it was the bubble gum that caused this and not the fact that these shoes have little to no grip when wet. A week and bit after, my ass still hurts, I think I bruised my tail bone (not if that is possible, need to check that with Dr. D).
Incidentally on that same night Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1, and it was a really good game.
