Oh wow!!

Yitzock · September 6, 2016 8:15 pm

Ha! What are the chances?

besleybean · September 6, 2016 8:17 pm

I know.
Well hubby started giggling...so I did wonder why.

Have fun in London and enjoy it all to the fullest! Gosh I miss that place!

besleybean · September 23, 2016 5:33 am

Me, too.
But lucky me will be arriving there in less than a fortnight!
Enjoy, Lautrela.

I am laughing my butt off right now. I'm watching the Danish version of Dancing With The Stars... and one couple just danced to the Pokémon theme. It was hilarious

But on a serious note... I NEED her dress!

Yitzock · September 24, 2016 12:31 am

Wow! I have never heard of that theme for a ballroom dance. Sounds funny.

My two favourite words in the English language: Andrew Scott!

Sounds like you're enjoying yourself fully!

I had a pretty weird experience this morning, on my way to the funeral... and I keep wondering if I did the right thing. I pressed the button to the elevator and when it came a young man was slumped in the corner; for a moment I couldn't tell if he was even breathing. I got pretty worried and tried to wake him which took a long time... in the end after I shook his shoulder a bit he woke up enough to mumble something.

I wonder if he was just drunk and sleeping it out or it was something else... and I wonder what else I could have done... and I wonder how many just passed by the glass elevator without bothering.

I did see he wasn't wearing a necklace that could have had a tag for diabetics or something...

Yitzock · September 24, 2016 4:32 pm

I can understand why you might feel guilty about that. I really don't know what else you could have done. There were no security guards or security department you could contact to have check on him?
I just realized that asking that probably doesn't help, since if there was you would probably think you should have done that...but if there wasn't then I don't know what you could have done. If you couldn't detect anything alarming, maybe he ended up okay. Maybe someone else helped him later or something.

besleybean · September 24, 2016 4:34 pm

Well he was clearly alive! You could have tried to get help.
But hey, I'm a first aider and I haven't always done the right thing.

This Is The Phantom Lady · September 24, 2016 5:26 pm

There a few other people around, it was at a busy train station... no security there (despite it being a gang ridden place where people have been threatened with knives etc...)

The people that were around were snooty teenage girls though who wouldn't have bothered to help me or anything... and I do have 6 First aid classes behind me.

And I know this is a horrible excuse but I was morbidly afraid to be honest... I have PTSD, and I was scared he'd be angry if I woke him.

I guess I could have called for an ambulance but since he was breathing and did wake up a bit I guess they wouldn't have bothered...

I just don't know... I'll admit I've been looking at the local news to see if it says anything about it. I'm guessing if he was just drunk and sleepy it wouldn't.

besleybean · September 24, 2016 5:54 pm

Yeah so don't worry, looks like all was well.
I do know what you mean about being afraid.
The time I felt bad for not helping was when I was with my sis in London, a few years ago.
We were suddenly accosted by a young man with a cut on his arm, begging for money so he could 'phone an ambulance'.
Before I had a chance my (older) sister, London resident...shooed him away.
She said to me afterwards that it was a fairly busy street, in a dodgy area of town...why approach 2 women?
She reckons it was a distraction scam.
Anyhow we did notice after there was an ambulance station on the street, so maybe he got help there.

Yitzock · September 27, 2016 2:48 pm

Sounds like you had a nice time.

besleybean · September 27, 2016 5:13 pm

Yes sadly, we've been in lots of wars!
Glad you enjoyed it, anyway.
Have to say it's my favourite city...but I'm possibly biased!

besleybean · September 28, 2016 5:40 am

Glad you had a good one.

besleybean · September 28, 2016 6:09 pm

Good stuff.

This Is The Phantom Lady · September 28, 2016 6:18 pm

Happy to hear you had some good times!

I had the best of times at Sherlocked, but every good thing comes to an end I guess.

And all good things come to those who wait ;)

-and God wasn't there a *lot* of waiting xD

besleybean · September 28, 2016 7:23 pm

And you were there...no sympathy from me. Ha!
