Apparently!
Sometimes, believe it or not.. I can be a little dim, sometimes bordeline dumb. Today was one of those days!
My sons laptop was broken a few weeks back, his dad tried to fix it and made the problem worse, so I had to use my last resort, an IT guy!
Well, this chap is a very manic kind of a chap, always busy, so appointments are kind of on an 'as and when' basis. Yesterday I had to meet him on a village green to drop off said Sons laptop, and he promised to ring when it was finished and I would again have to meet him somewhere convenient to us both to collect it and pay for it.
At about 9ish tonight he rang to say Laptop was fixed and could I meet him somewhere that he was passing on the way to his next job as the timings should coincide. I agreed and drove to said meeting spot, (a large layby just off of a main road)
As I pulled up to the layby I recalled... it is used as an overnight truck stop, and true enough about 30 lorries were all parked there.
It was then, that the reality dawned on me as I drove past the parked lorries, to find a suitable place to wait, as to my annoyance, the IT guy had not arrived yet!!
About 5 minutes later of me sat there, feeling highly conspicuous up drives my IT chap, and on seeing me flashes his headlights to say it was him!
It was just one of those "doh!!!!" headslap moments. Two cars pull up in a truck stop at night, headlight flashing, woman walking around front of car, interior lights of van flashing on and off as he opens doors to get things out. Yep, not dodgy, much!
It only seemed to dawn on him what this could suggest, when we heard one of the lorry doors open, his face was a picture and I ran back to my car faster than I have ever run in my life and drove off pronto.
I must remember to engage my brain at times!
On the good side though, the laptop is now working perfectly

reminds me of when a mate and his wife pulled up on a long journey into a car park , turned on their interior light and then began eating their packed lunch only to find a bloke coming over who then knocked on the window and said something along the lines of " can i have a go on your missus" , mate jumped out and was just about to kick ten bells of whotsit out of this bloke when a couple of others that were there saw the commotion and came over to explain apparantly leaving the light on in a dogging car park was some sort of signal that you are available Edited 13 Jan 11, 6:01 PM by whaplodedave |

I once was walking home from a football club booze up in an emotional state as they used to say when Reginald Bosequet was too pished to read the news! Lovely walk - LOL - 3 steps forwards followed by 2 backwards sort of thing. There was a cliff top car park well known as a "doggers" meeting place (in fact a meeting place even before the term "dogging" invented - goes back 40 years according to my then wife). The road past the car parj was a steepish road and instead of going backwards 2 steps I went far too fast downhill and rolled over in me best clothes in a heap. Picked my self up and spotted a 4 by 4 parked with light on and thought "I'm up for this!" Went to the window of the car to be fobbed off by "We're looking at the sea!" To which I embrassingly replied "sorry my mistake!" It wasn't until I got home that I saw I had a) Got a big black mud stain on my face from the fall b) Torn my best trousers at the knee(thought It was breezy and c) Had been wearing my fedora type hat at such a jaunty angle after the fall that I had it on back to front. I wonder now if that couple ever saw me round town and giggled to themselves. And of course having probably sunk 5 pints of real ale Gawd knows what I would have been able to do to the good lady!!! (before I fell asleeep)
