I was writing some honours boards today at a rather swish Golf Club. I had my easel with me so decided to work out in the sunshine as the clubroom was a bit dark and dingy. It wasn’t long before a regal couple of advanced years hove-to beside me with all the dignity of a great ocean liner coming to berth. “Haven’t seen that done in years,” said the stately gent. “No? There’s still a few of us around” I replied with a smile. There didn’t seem to be a great deal more to be said on the subject yet they seemed inclined to hover. Slightly uncomfortable with their silent scrutiny I offered a further conversational gambit. “Have you had a pleasant round”? “I gave her two halves,” he said. Not being a golfer, I hadn’t a clue what he was talking about but heard my mouth saying, “Sounds much more fun than golf”! While my brain was screaming “YOU CAN’T SAY THAT”! My brain was right, without another word they stalked off in dreadfully high dudgeon. Oh dear!

Arthur, maybe you should have posed the question "which one did she like best?" Roger Posted by Peter Manzolillo (Member # 1062) on :
Apparently, you said the right thing because it solved your "hover" problem.....
