Five Pounds Guy

I keep forgetting I can use my Blog to talk about anything really. Although that being said the Blog name is specific to the different frogs we have in town. O well, I had one of the most fun weekends ever this year for me. Friday, birthday party at some lovely Champagne bar and thankfully an old friend took me along so drinks were on him and the highlight was the duck and rice I organised after the bar. Damnnn thinking of it is making me really hungry! Saturday attended a Surprise party then headed for a Nov of Birthdays bash, lets just say I got so wasted that by the time my girl dropped me at home I realised I forgot my house keys in my sister's bag and she was still at the club! Anyway I have a sitting area just before u get into my main hse so I crashed there till she got home. Sunday, went to Church got madly uplifted then went for yet again another birthday gathering. Food was excessive and drinks overflowing but I just respected myself and stayed away from the alcohol. By Monday, I looked like a zombie (understandably) cos I sure hadn't slept enuff.

Today I feel a bit better but I'm getting mad butterflies in my tummy cos a special person is coming into town tomorrow and its going to be a turning point for us. However things turn out, this dude has certainly put Hope back in my life that there are still a few good men out there. Trust I'll be keeping you guys updated. As he is one of my biggest Blog fans, I expect he will do his best to stay well behaved or else he might just get a Post dedicated to him (Heaven forbid).

Ayt, my friend once told me a story I found rather hilarious and irritating all at once! Five pound guy is someone who troubled Eugena for a while. Tried his best to get her to go on just one date but she never agreed. Eugena for starters is a high-flying career babe who always has a suit case packed up cos she never knows what part of the world her job will take her to at any given time. So on this one occassion, Eugena was getting ready for one of her trips. She had called her cab and had about 5 hours to spare before her flight. Her phone rang and to her dismay it was Five pound guy.

Five pound guy asked if they could meet up for lunch that day and she told him she was on her way out of the country. He then told her to call off her cab and he will take her to the airport. Eugena was in one of her good moods (hard to find especially if she is talking to a guy) and she told him to get to hers in the next hour or else she'll just take her cab. He was ecstatic seeing as this for him would have been a one shot moment to leave an impression on her. Surprisingly he got to her house 40 mins after that call. Eugena was impressed as this dude leaves South of London and she lives in the North so according to her calculation he must have been speeding down. Anyway as they proceeded to the airport, the dude started teasing that hope she won't mind paying for his petrol since she was going to pay for a cab perhaps she can just transfer that money to the tank of his car!

Eugena gave him her "ugly look" and at that point she thought okkkk maybe this guy is so tensed he is cracking very dry jokes. They finally got to the airport in one piece and Five pound guy off loaded her bags and they checked her in. Eugena had 2 hours to spare before her flight so she offered to take him for lunch and she will pay. He seemed overly excited. He ordered as much as his tummy would allow him and spoke uncontrollably about nothing of significance. When they were done, Five pounds guy escorted Eugena to the Departure gate. As they were hugging and saying their final good bye, sumtin earth shaking happened.

Five pound guy: Eugena are u not forgetting something?
Eugena: (In her head she was thinking don't tell me he wants a kiss or what??), Five pound what did I forget?
Five pound guy: I can't believe you were about to get on the plane without giving me the money for the parking?
Eugena: R u having a dry joke moment again?
Five pound guy: Not at all, I think £5 should cover the parking.
Eugena: (In her head thinking God what have I done to deserve this act of mere embarrassment and cheapness!!), she gets her purse out and says, Five pound guy I only have £10 note on me.
Five pound guy: Ok give me the £10 I will give you your change when you get back from your trip.
Eugena: (In her head, Yesssuuusssss!!!!) That's ok, keep the change!
Five Pound guy: U r very kind thanks. Bye and have a safe trip.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Rewindddddddddd, did I mention that due to Eugena's position at her work place, all her expenses are paid for? Meaning if she je-je-ly took her cab, the company would have paid for it! My poor friend was too embarrassed to share this story as the guy is 31 years old!!!! and to the best of her knowledge has an ok job. I mean where has the pride of men gone!!!! Goshhhh it's really irritating cos Heaven knows it is not about the money, it is about how this guy went about things! If you look at your wallet and u realise you cannot afford a "babe" then why aim to get her? Aim lower ja re!!!

Ok Blogville I hope this makes u laugh a little. Ooo by the way of cos Eugena deleted his number immediately and she has since then decided to just stick to her first instincts when it comes to guys. As we tend to forget "Jand is a leveller".............

ok now to d issue at hand....y y did she feel she had to listen to his bull. He didnt act cheap, just silly and childish but then again u didnt mention whether he took her out in d past which might be his reason for gettn her back lol. Wat a joke. I wud have told him the story of his life and left him with not even a penny.

Mehnnnnn, this babe, dats just too damn funny.
I dont believe she gave him the 10 pounds after buying him lunch. Five pounds dude is obviously a joker . bobo like awoof well well no be small..
WTF!!

Figurella said...

bee, I think I mentioned that the airport day was like his first chance to impress her or shld I say his first impromptu date with her. As in this brother had been pestering her phone and she never accomodated him. I mean the speed at which he drove down u would have thought he had been losing sleep over Eugene and couldn't wait to represent.

unbiased, thanks ooo will be sure to bear that in mind.

Anonymous 14:24, my sentiments exactly! As in she said it was shock that made her reach for her wallet.
