The chat up line that never was.
Back in March 2004 I'd just split up from my wife and had been spending a few weekends down in Ashbourne (near Derby) with my best mate Mike and his local friends. On one particularly drunken evening, we wandered into The Greeen Man, a local bar that had a huge function room at the rear which doubled up as the infamous 'Green Man Disco'. (Possibly the worst club you've ever been to) Mike was doing his best to keep me entertained and was introducing me to dozens of people in each bar we visited, including The Green Man. As we staggered up to the bar, Mike gathered the female bar staff and began introducing me to them. We decided that it was time for Tequila, so I asked Mike's barmaid friend for "Three shots of Tequila please". She stood and stared at me for a what seemed like an eternity, then screamed "I'VE GOT A FUCKING BOYFRIEND!" and stormed off. I went bright red as Mike and his mates collapsed on the floor laughing. Mike composed himself and called her back over. She came back, looking like she was spoiling for a fight and we asked her what her problem was and said all I'd asked for was Tequila. The penny dropped, she went very red and ran off crying. A few minutes later, a very apologetic bar manager appeared with Tequila and said "Sorry about that mate, it's probably best you don't know what she thought you said". We got a free round out of it, but to this day we still have no idea what the mad bint thought I'd said.
