I am not sure that the Forum administrator will let me get away with this but I'll give it a try, if it's not deleted and in case Madedua gives it a read I will include breathing spaces.
Dennis and Baldie will confirm the fact that I will talk to complete strangers anywhere anytime, one tends to meet the nicest people and at the same time completely gob smack the Balinese by talking in their own language, however it is extremely rare for people to approach a wrinkly old fart like me.
I watched the first half of the game between Collingwood and Brisbane in the Stadium and was absolutely delighted to see Collinwood going down before I left. I walked out, and sitting on the concrete ledge of the flower beds was a stunningly beautiful well dressed young lady who I mistakenly thought was Balinese to whom I smiled at and said Hello. She smiled back stood up, walked over to me and said " For forty thousand rupiah I will spend the night with you at your hotel."
My turn to be be gob smacked so I just smiled again. "Oh" she said in perfect English." You don't speak English, where are you from ?" I said to her in Balinese " How are you today." which stunned her because she didn't understand. She tried her offer again in what I think was German, Dutch and Polish because each time the forty thousand rupiah was mentioned. Anyway I got over the language difficulty by dropping my hand to my genital area and said." Sorry
lovie, bankrupt here." We both had a good laugh and left it at that. Tell you what though. She was such a beauty, it did my ego no end of good. And NO, I didn't.
