Somebody hit me with a hammer
The other night I was at a bar with some friends. It was the last stop of a long night and I found myself sitting with a bunch of Scottish guys who were in the band we'd just heard. Nice guys, trying their best to hit on the females of our party afore the tour bus departed. Yet during the whole fucking time I could hear myself speaking the brogue with them or rather at them. Inappropriate? Well for all of you who don't know me, Anglophile I may be but suffice it to say that I have no business speaking the brogue. Not only that, but I asked them what teams they like, Celtic and Motherwell, and probably tried to say something intelligent about soccer... Honestly! Even were I sober I couldn't hold much of an international soccer conversation with these guys beyond asking for rankings(which I did).. The worst is that all the while, my brain was screaming, Stop it! you Ass! but I kept mumbling "aye, aye would ya like another drink then?" or some such...
I just talked to a friend of mine who was there, and he confirmed much distress over my behavior..
Ach, What a wanker....
