Our local singing duo, Mid-life Crisis were playing at the local pub this evening, so 30% had arranged for us to pop down for an hour, or so.
She had also arranged for her friends L&J to visit us in the early afternoon, and then join us at the Pub ... Oh Joy!
Now I can cope with L, but J is annoying. He tends to dominate the conversation with anecdotes that have been recounted many, many times before. He is also incredibly opinionated, and always right!
This afternoon he availed himself of our toilet facilities and, upon completion, came and advised me that the light switch did not comply with UK wiring regulations. I attempted to explain that a pull switch was not needed in a toilet, but he would have none of it! He even went on to advise how I should rectify it.
I saw little point in discussing further, and telling him that he was full of shit* didn't seem to be the appropriate response from the host.
The couple of hours in the pub was OK,** and Mid-Life Crisis were great, but my eyes had been dreadfully sore all day and repeated application of drops did nothing to ease the irritation. We, therefore, left after a couple of hours and headed home for supper.

* I was sorely tempted.
** The music was very loud and I was sat at the opposite end of the table from J, ergo conversation was impossible ... RESULT!
