IB’s world of thought

Found my happy place

Ok so I was walking throught the factor floor in work and heard an advertisment for a funfare that is comming to Beflast this weekend.
So how can this ad help me find my happy plcae, is the best fun fare in the world? no. Has the fun fare an special memorys for me, not really. Its jsut that the ad triggered a memory from when I was obout 15 or 16 , and it cheared me up.

Let me set the sean, it 1994 or 95, a young happy IB is at this fun far with a few of his mate from Belfast and my little bro in toe. We are gennerly having a laugh and bit of banter, you know going on ride that spins round and sticks you to the wall, all of sunnden a hand come out and hit you in chest and you cant breath. The innocents of youth.

Anyway at some stage of the night this pettie girl about the same age come up to me and my mates and ask if I want to go out with her mate. I wasn’t the confidnet person I am today so I though she was talking to one of the others, then she ask me again.
Remember we are about 15 or 16 and this was the sort of thing that happen. So I thought it was a cause of doing it for a shy friend. I’m 15 or 16, what was if going to say except “I’d have to see her first” so girl 1 runns off to get her friend, and when she return I was the one about to do a runner.
Her mate send her over because if she had of asked me I would of falt said no, then left.
Ok so the two arrive and I’m in a situation where I’m trying to tell girl 2 there is no way in hell I’m going to go out with her while being polite about it, so I pull out the usual excuse ( well the only one I can use at this stage) like are you sure you 16? you only look about 12. Girl to send her better looking friend over to try to butter me up, I would have said ok. I dont mean to be roude about girl but she was rough.

As this is going on my best mate is telling me I should go with her for the night, go on give it try she might be up for it. Now the same guy how is tell me I sould go with her is also the same guy who will take the piss as soon as she was gone.
I manage to get ride of her in a polite mamer, I remember telling her she looked way to young for me and I wasn’t risking her dad commign round a connor and kicking the shit out me for coping off with is 12 year old daughter. Truth is she was 16 and I know by the way she was trying to confice me to out with her she was.

Any way moments after they left my best mate turn me and start tell me I was harsh, I probably destroyed the girls night, turned her to a lesbian, etc, etc.
Although 5 minutes later he was taking the piss out of me for the fact that I might have considered it.

So the reason this cheered me up. The memory made my laugh when I think back to my teenages years and some of the stupid things I did.
Its amazing how memorys work.
