I met up with a WL.

[malik]

I decided last week to get a bit of culture into my life. There was a show on at La Boite Theatre in Brisbane that my lady wanted to see. I booked tickets for Reviewiday and set off for a great evening. We entered the foyer, went up to the bar to get our pre show drinks and who should be standing beside me but a WL I have spent a few hours with on several occasions in the past. "Bloody hell" I said to her at the top of my voice "what are you doing off your back." Her rather large size bikie type boyReviewiend looked me up and down and stepped towards me. Nah! That's not the way it really happened. I took one huge swallow, smiled as you would to any stranger and ordered my drinks. As it is a very small theatre, I ran into her again at interval, when leaving the theatre and also sat about two rows away for the entire show. This is the first time I have ever seen a WL outside of her work environment and as I was unprepared for it, it did leave me a little edgey. Her discretion was as expected and mine was the same. She was with her partner and I was with mine. All went well. It was just a very interesting thing to happen and one for which I was totally unprepared. I guess we will both have a laugh about it next time we meet professionally.

Somehow, V8, that story gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Must be cos a petrolhead and La Boite seem so incongruous : No that's a nice story. Do you remember anything about the play? Hahaha

That made me chuckle, V8. The thought of running into a client used to be an irrational fear of mine … until it actually happened. :shock:

I was ordering coffees at a little takeaway and I was with someone. When I stepped away to wait, my eyes met with those of one of my clients. He was waiting for his order. We both gave each other a shy smile, which no one else would have noticed. My coffees were ready before his order, so as I went to leave with my Reviewiend, I flashed him a surreptitious little wink :wink: and he gave me the cutest mischievous smile Later, we exchanged a “How funny was that?!” text and had a laugh. I’m comfortable now when out & about. We’re all grown-ups. We’re also part of a private community in which we give each other respect & discretion, no matter where we may meet.

yes discreation is a better part of valour :grin:

Well, one would hope that an experienced mp.net would know the meaning iof discretion.

I can recall one incident on a now defunct forum where a member described coming across a massage lady while out walking his dog. He quite happily described to the other forum members how he (in his words) "revved up" his dog and backed her against a fence and suggested to her how he would like his next session to go. mpter much condemnation Reviewom other forum members, he attempted to pass it off as a joke.

Whether it really happened, and if it did, whether it was meant seriously or not, or if this was simply a story meant to impress or amuse fellow forum members, I think most reasonable people would consider this disgraceful, or at the very least, in very poor taste.
