Last night, whilst waiting for other friends to finish work, Carl and I went to Evil Eye for a drink or two. I walked up to the bar, and before I had a chance to say a word, Ben (the guy who looks like Charlie from It’s Always Sunny) looks up and says to the other guy behind the bar, ‘She’s blonde. We could get a lot for her. Plus she’s got that accent going on,’ and did a little impression of my accent. I was at a loss. I had no idea what he was on about. The other guy laughed and took drinks down to the other end of the bar.. and I exclaimed loudly at Ben as to what the hell he was on about. Slave labour, apparently. The other guy came back and told me that I’d probably go for about 6 cows. Yay? Ben’s an odd character, though. I never quite know if he knows who I am. I think it depends what kind of mood he’s in.. sometimes he’ll all but ignore me (and everyone else, for that matter) and other times he’ll pull shit like this. Or make me sing the Aussie national anthem at the bar.

A couple of weeks back Ben and Giles were out drinking at Evil Eye, not working, and some girl started talking to Giles. Ben had sidled down the bar to chat to me, and we’d both turned around to say something to Giles. The girl was talking to him, and said something along the lines of ‘You don’t remember me, do you Giles?’ Ben turned back to face the bar, turned my head around as well and started laughing, because Giles had the biggest look of shock on his face, he obviously had no idea. The way that Ben started laughing and said ‘Oh-ho. This should be interesting.’ In his really posh accent made me love him, just a little bit.
