Pleasant Times: Dressing Up French

Dressing Up French

It was recently Bastille day, so what better theme for the latest New Mills Pub Quiz Night? Much hilarity ensued, and my team (l'equipe) won the cup, and the dubious honour of hosting the next event. Some pictures:

That's me in the hat by the way - I went without glasses so couldn't read any of the questions, and had a roaring headache halfway through the night. A couple of paracetamol sorted it out in case you're worried.

David (the man in the French maid getup) later ventured into the pubs of New Mills with a charity bucket, collecting for "Help For Heroes". We all accompanied him and personally I was glad to be virtually un-recognisable.

Enjoy your Sunday, readers. I'l be straining to re-grow my beard.

I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
