More reputation damaging nonsense

[Harry Flashman]

Well, short and tame this time around.

Did it again last night - embarrassed myself. Went to a charity auction last night; nothing to do with work, just a table organised by some friends. It turned out to be huge fun, actually. Anyway, one of the secret auctions was for a VIP treat at a strip club, for a number of people, including room, dances, champagne, food etc. As I have a City stag to organise (and because strippers are great), I put a bid in on the keypad thing on my table.

I get a number of phone calls virtually immediately. It turns out that this non-industry event is full of people from my industry. One of them, laughing down the phone, asks me to come over to their table. Which I do, drunk and puzzled.

Where a girl I once managed to sleep with (on the lie that I am a virtous and wonderful person looking for fidelity and commitment) is sitting. Giving me a look of purest loathing.

What I hadn't realised was that the bid, the lot, and your name appears on all the various screens around the room. In large characters.

Never bid for tarts in a public forum, chaps. It doesn't seem to go well.

Good bank holiday all. I'm off to the country to think about my life.

Im happy to just sit at my desk and think about your life

[chunkymonkey71]

Harry, you should just stay in. Leaving the house is detrimental to you!

[escargot]

Beautifully done.

[Rob.]

It could only happen to Flashman could'nt it!

[littlegreenfairy]

Oh Harry Harry Harry.

We do love you.

[PD9]

Excellent! - Ahh why do I get so much joy from reading about ones humility!

[Neil_H]

Did you have the winning bid?

[ben_reza]

This should have gone in the Sean connery joke thread, cos it is a lot funnier than most of the stuff in there.

I tip my hat to you sir.

[LividSV]

Could Harry and Utterly Clueless be in fact the same person

[Stu R]

Go on, tell us the full story Harry, you bidded repeatedly didn't you.

No - I was actually too embarrassed to bid again. Which is unusual.

Honestly, the woman looked at me as if I were the devil incarnate.

Nice cans though, if I remember right.

Chap, she obviously hated me. And not the playful I'm-going-to-pretend-to-hate-you-but-in-reality-I-want-you thing; proper, visceral loathing was in her eyes.

*shudder*

Ouch, charity that is embarrassing.

Good on you though Harry

[scotal]

Is this the best you can do Hal? I'm disappointed, I think you should get back with the now mental ex lady f. Your stories were much better then.

I'd rather inject raw heroin into my eyeballs.

[spikeyhead]

Surely a simple statement that you were bidding on it and intending on not using it, thus preventing anyone from becoming corrupted by such a visit.

[ali_kat]

Having already made them laugh, you should have continued bidding

What happened at the party last weekend?
