One of my favourites was when he called me from a public phone box in middle of Bath. Halfway through the conversation, something obviously caught his attention, so he says to me - 'watch my bag for me, I've got to go'. And he just dropped the phone, left his bag (including wallet and mobile) in the phone box and disappeared, thinking that, because I'm on the other end of the phone, I can guard his stuff! And I'm left there shouting into the receivor, 'no Andrew, don't do that, don't go ......' Too late! God only knows if he ever eventually came back to the phone, or if his bag was still there.
And every night, when he calls me, we always end the conversation in the same way -him - what time can I call you tomorrow?
me - any time at all ...
him - no, tell me a time, when are you in?
me - I'm in all day, call me anytime
him - no, I need a time
me - ok call me at 6
him - no, can't call you at 6. I have to call you later at night
me - ok, call me at 7
him - I'll call you at 9 in the morning
me - that's not later, that's earlier, call me at 7 in the evening
him - ok, I'll call you at 11am
me - that's earlier... Oh alright, 11am
him - no, can't call you then. I'll call you at 6 ....
And it goes on and on. Every single day ... He just cracks me up!
