There was some song where he was making fun of a woman in customer service having a big arse

iirc he merely mentioned the size of her arse - I expect it's you who has the problem with big arses, not Neil (or me, good god no)

I remember it mockingly. But I'm not investigating it, because I don't want one of his songs in my head.
Lush are in there now and that is just fine.

Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country

He also refers to her as a jolly hostess earlier in the verse. I always thought that National Express was a coach service. I've never seen anyone selling grub on a coach before.

That fucker's never been on a public bus in his life I'd bet.

Have you met him? You're being pretty nasty and judgmental towards someone who doesn't seem to have ever done you any harm. I've travelled on National Express Coaches and the song gives a pretty accurate description of the experience, so he at least did some research.

He showed up at the thing in Road Records with his wife/partner and a little one in a buggy, on foot, just the three of them. He came across as very friendly and down to earth, made some jokes about being a short arse and how nobody would be able to see him and then climbed up on to the counter. I think he even played requests, having to ad lib a few of them because he'd never performed them solo before and hadn't practiced.

If he's not actually sound then he should go into acting, Oscars galore lie in his future.

I think we're allowed do that with famous people behind their backs.

While eating a shitty Mexican meal yesterday on my own I realised that I'd like to go out with someone purely to not feel like the saddest man on Earth every time I dine out. I am not sure if this would provide a healthy foundation for a relationship, I also doubt anyone would touch me with a barge pole in my current state.

I don't think that's true.
It's whether you'd want the person that would touch you.

If she has a pulse and an appetite, she's good to go.

A few weeks ago I went into a Turkish restaurant to have dinner on my own. The waiter tried to put me into a window seat but I asked to be sat in the back. Didn’t want to be on display on my own in the window. Having said that I prefer to go to the cinema alone.

I love my own company and I would never ever do that.

Sitting at a table on your own?

Restrict yourself to restaurants with bars and sit at the bar. At least you're not staring into the abyss.

I eat out alone all the time. I usually go when it's a bit quieter and always bring a book.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Eating on your own is perfectly fine. An sort-of ex of mine wrote a miserable poem about it called Eating Alone or Dinner For One or something like that. I get the sentiment but for me eating out by myself means that for this one meal at least I haven't also gone shopping for one and cooking for one and it'll probably taste quite nice and I might get a chapter of my book in while I wait.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

It takes many forms.

Sitting at a table for two on your todd is not something I'd ever want to do.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

You get used to it

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

How good is the food in these restaurants that they are unavoidable?

 

[Reets]

You get used to it

For some reason, this sentence really gets to me

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

I'm with Shaney. I used to quite enjoy going out for a meal on my own with a good book (nowdays a chance would be a fine thing). Eating something I hadn't cooked myself, no clearing the table or washing up to do. A table for two, or even for four, on my own never bothered me.

Yeah, me too. I've always liked doing stuff on my own. I eat out on my own and wouldn't think twice about it.

Until now
