A handful of days before Stuart abandoned me in favour of Australia, I spent the afternoon with Alice, as she helped me keep away from Stuart's place, and, more importantly, guys day.
"Whats your plan for the day babe? A few of the guys are coming over later, if you fancy stopping in with us?"
"Guys day? I think I'll give it a miss. Thanks though."

Ten minutes later: "Alice! What're your plans for today? Nothing? Good. It's 'guys day', and I need someone to play with."
"What, you don't want to stay in with the guys?"
"Now why on earth would I want to do that?"
"However will they cope without someone's tag along girlfriend there to hand round the beer and order pizza?"

Nine hours later: "Thanks for rescuing me Alice. I'll see you Monday, yeah?"

Ten minutes later: "Hey! Hows it going?" *wades through discarded cans, bottles and cardboard pizza boxes to kiss Stuart hello*
"Oh, hey there missy."
"Imogen!"
"Yo, hows it hangin'?"
"Hey doll!"
"Alright Im?"
"Alright sunshine?"
"Hiya stranger!"

*Everyone turns back to the game, except Stuart*

"I like your hair babe... what colours have you had done?"
"Pink, blue, purple I think. He got a bit carried away. So it's a keeper?"
"Sure thing" *pauses* "Can you pass me a beer? Fridge, bottom corner." *passes beer wordlessly* "hey, does anyone else want another beer?" *noises of assent from all round*
"Babe? Could you get that?"
