There were eleven of us in my morning class on line.
The film class was interesting Horror Stereotypes with a heavy biased towards Jamie Lee Curtis
Three of the participants were from the US and one very attractive middle aged man was from New York and was drinking lots of coffee as it was 4.30 am over there.
His name was Richard and he wrote screenplays ( so he told us)
He had a lovely thick beard, glowing American teeth and academic specs so he looked the part.
He also called out his name in his thick New York brougue ( before anyone else could when asked if we could introduce ourselves ) and added a rather friendly and flirtatious
“ And who is that big handsome charmer on the love seat John Gray?”
I was flummoxed for a second as I had my second best Herbivore T shirt on as well as a cheap Sainsbury’s green hoodie and hadn’t even washed my face, but I started to preen at the potential prospect of an early morning Valentine’s Day flirt
Then I realised that the American was in fact referring to Dorothy who was sat on the sofa behind me
Happy Valentine's Day John xx
ReplyDeleteAnd to you carol x
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day, John! I think you are really cute and I enjoy your blog so much. Don't think you realize how much good you do by being you - mostly because some of us "lurk" instead of writing.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated deArheart
DeleteThat made me smile, John! Happy Valentine's Day, Dear! xx
ReplyDeleteAnd to you, I hate Valentine’s Day
DeleteIt's closer to flirtation than I got, even though I went out shopping for the first time in years. Unless you can call the greeting I received off one of my youngest nephew's college friends a flirtation. Lucky bastard x
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you went out deArheart xx
DeleteLovely! Keep on cheering us all with your "tails" and spreading love. JanF
ReplyDeleteI’ll always have a story to tell jan x
DeleteNever work with animals or children. Happy Valentine's Day. xx
ReplyDeleteWasn't that W.C. Fields that said that?
DeleteMy favourite quote of his was
Delete“ I never drink water, fish fuck in it”
My favourite Fields fable: When asked if he liked children, the great man replied, "Depends on the recipe."
DeleteI had butterfies for you for a moment - That Dorothy upstaging you John - the tart x 💕
ReplyDeleteJohn the tart ? Have you been messaging Mavis
DeleteOh no John - not you ! - I was meaning Dorothy - I do hope she will forgive me - In my weird mind I thought of Withnail and I's - Uncle "s cat getting attention - and Mavis is quite safe from my chattering as I've no idea how. to x 💗🌹
DeleteUpstaged by Dorothy's beauty! The fate of anyone in the same room with her.
ReplyDeleteShould be used to that by now
DeleteAre you absolutely sure he was referring to Dorothy? xx
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteLol, lovely story!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine’s Day John X I look forward to reading your blog each day . Mary D. from Scotland X
ReplyDeleteI do too
DeleteAnd I’m a big fat gay mary from NY
DeleteThat reply made me laugh
DeleteThat might have been code John to indicate interest in you... dogs are always a good segue to further 'chat'.
ReplyDeleteThat “ chat” unfortunately didn’t happen
DeleteLove it. Ever thought of doing a home swap with someone from NY? I know you love the city
ReplyDeleteI’d love to m but wouldn’t know how
DeleteDorothy the diva strikes again. 😊
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, John dear.
And to you deArheart
DeleteOh bless, at least you know you are the handsome charmer to us.
ReplyDeleteMost of you ladies 😵💫
Delete😂😂😂😂 well I still think you're handsome, and if we had dinner you would have me enraptured with your accent alone!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day💌💘❤💞
You are a delightful creature my deArheart
DeleteYou are a delightful creature my deArheart
DeleteNot sure about your interpretation of that John, you match that description too ! HVD xx
ReplyDeleteLol I wish
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day! That was close enough to be considered flirting.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I was so ashamed I preened
DeleteNothing wrong with preening!
DeleteJo in Auckland
That Dorothy, photo-bombing you again!
ReplyDeleteUpstaged by a peanut brain
DeleteHope you weren't too dissappointed John - after all she is a charmer,
ReplyDeleteI was crushed
DeleteIt’s nice to see a self effacing and lightweight post which isn’t spoilt by the odd negative and pointlessly arch comments
DeleteYes apparently some critics say it’s been sanitized
DeleteI agree, but only in a good way , I’ve never been attracted to those who want to pull down others
Dorothy's complement from NY made me laugh. For all we know, this might be the start of new friendship for you. Dogs have been known to bring people together.
ReplyDeleteHe said goodbye to her, fuck all for me lol
DeleteLove this. You made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteThat’s ma job x
DeleteThanks for the laugh, John, and Happy Valentine's Day to you. Do have some chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I’ve just got back from college , I ve bought a bag of cheese and onion crisps
DeleteUpstaged, as ever. This is what dogs are for, to keep us occupied and our inferiority complexes stoked. On the other hand......? Just keep us updated. That is all I will say.
ReplyDeleteRichard even blew her her own kiss at the end of the lecture
DeleteROFL, well I love you! That was very funny!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, I will take that
DeleteOh, John. He was definitely flirting wit you.
ReplyDeleteOh he soooooo wasn’t ….lol
DeleteGreat story, well told 😉😉
ReplyDeleteIt was his and Dorothy’s story ( unfortunately)
DeleteSo we know he has good taste in dogs, next question is about his taste in men....
ReplyDeletececi
Obviously poor
DeleteEveryone knows the way to a man's heart is through his dog. :)
ReplyDeleteMave !!!! Don’t
Deletewell. *I* think that was a flirt with you nonetheless :) P.S. this is Sous Gal. I'm retired from the profession. Now. It's personal :)
ReplyDeleteOnce Diva Dorothy gets someone on the hook, she will reel them right in to you! Perhaps you could do your own version of 'Must Love Dogs'. Happy Valentine's Day, John!
ReplyDeleteHa ha. He was probably just too shy to admit he was referring to YOU.
ReplyDeleteDorothy has a new admirer!
ReplyDeleteOh swoon. And you didn’t respond: Yes, it’s me!!!
ReplyDeleteHe should have
