How Could We Start A Conversation With A Total Stranger...

...if we didn't have our weather to talk about?

[Iluvspikey]

I would say, well, as we've no weather to talk about, what topic shall we pick, you first!

Commuters are strange beings, they always moan about trains not being on time. I've given up expecting trains to be on time!

I'm never going to be able to let go of that barman's balls am I?

[abstibus]

You should hear me when I have to buy new balls for the doggies. 'Have you any balls?' doesn't sound quite right.
Nor does 'I need some balls'.

I look forward to meeting The Builder in a pub!
(Can you claim 'networking' as a business expense against tax?)

You can also arrange to meet Rowan and Redman in a bar. You think the man at the bar is Redman, sidle up, arm around his waist, rub your thigh against his and whisper hello Redman darling in his ear.
The stranger you have the conversation with will be the wife of the wrong man you have accosted. The conversation will be short and snappy.
