I spy...

On Friday I went out with a few friends.. the destination.. the 80's.. in a pub. But first we went to a guys house to have a few beers...

First off though.. we went to more reasons to get some drink. At 28 I still find myself looking for the cheapest vodka..the kind of stuff you wouldn't give to a 15 year old in the streets begging for a 'drink please mister' in fear of it burning through their stomach.

Anyway. Drink bought. Went for a mid range brand. Gotta be careful at my age. We went over to the guys flat to have a few pre going out drinks. Got to the flat. Very nice. 6th floor. Looks out over surprise surprise, more flats. But it is nice. Quite how cool I didn't figure out until a bit later on.

The thing to do these days whilst round at people houses/flats is to play guitar hero. Especially if you are getting on a bit and secretly think you're a rock star. This story is going somewhere by the way. No where great. Just somewhere.

So there we are playing. 2 on guitar and one on drums. 2 drinks later everyone is fighting over the mic to sing. No one wanted to do Michael Jackson. So, we're in the middle of this song, when the beauty of living in a flat opposite other flats hits me. Whilst rocking, looking pretty cool I reckon, I notice, from the corner of my eye, a light go on. Followed by a lady getting ready for a shower I imagine. I magined other things too. The guy who owned the place obviously aware of the perks of this, quickly pulled out his binoculars to get a closer look! You obviously run the risk of being caught with these as, the lights are on full, so it's jsut as easy to see us as it is us seeing them. We were all in rock stances which quickly turned to clambering over one another looking out of the window. So the only obvious thing to do is ditch the lights and sit like giggling girls trying to sneak a peak.

The thing is.. on closer inspection, I was wrong. It was a man. The mic was put away and we all fought for the drums in an effort to be a man. I don't think we will speak of the event again.
