Being persuasive
« on: February 16, 2003, 03:52:21 PM »
At a well known and posh restaurant, we had to wait for a table. The young waiter said that it would be about 10-15 minutes wait, then he asked for a name with which to reserve a table. What name do you thing Icy gave him.

What name would you give in a similar situation :?:

Ah Frankie - I should have read this first!, just posted a similar thing on Sat night at...

What I can't understand is, why is that so surprising?? I mean, we ladies do it to you men ALL THE TIME  :wink: - does this mean that you guys really don't realise what we are doing unless it is to another poor unsuspecting fella and you can actually see whats happening??

Men, they never cease to anaze me :shock:

Hey that was a good session - thanks Lloydie, Eryl & Azzy.

LLoydie - did I breach etiquette by nabbing that black belt to fight  with after you'd got the white belts up? Don't often get the chance for extended practisewith higher grades  - so I demonstarted spirit.

Congrats to all who took tonight's lesson - very well done indeed. It's not easy taking charge of hoards of kids - especially when there are parents watching !!!

Thanks

Yeah - I know I've already said it but ... it's been great this week _____ has not felt like a "holding operation" at all. The return to basic khion (stance & hips; Lloydie)- for me; led to one of those inspirational / "something " , big fat smile all over my face ; moments  - when I got the hips right (well I think I did ) for the first time. Bloody proof (Spanish I will get that) of a great club  - that it's excellence continues despite the absence of main protagonists (been there recently).
   what a cool club I stumbled upon by accident

Agreed. Got me thinking tonight - this time last year Lloydie and Azzy were Yellow(?) belts, about to go for their Green belt grading. Zoom forward to this week and Lloydie is 'in charge' with Azzy doing the warm-ups on a regular basis. Great stuff lads.

Scares me senseless that a year from now I might be in the same situation. Please don't go on holiday again Moley !!  :wink:

Naw Big H - there is a certain (as mole bach would say) "something" about the SRZ club (thanks to the 4 musketeers and deciples) that would make you go the extra (few) mile without regret - am I not right?
