Currying favour

GF joined up with a cluster of colleagues to invade the local curry house for dinner. The "Table for six, please" soon became seven, then nine and finally ten.

For some reason the Gorse Fox was unmercifully picked upon with a barrage of Saga jokes. Now, under recent legislation GF thought age discrimination was now outlawed, and that more respect should be shown to a man of his mature years. Apparently not. So the discussion moved to Saga Cruises going round the world to the sound of Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendix, and Led Zeppelin; at that point they were actually beginning to sound attractive.

As the evening ended Gf was invited to join a few of the team at 06:10 in the morning to go for a run. As explained before, GF believes it to be unseemly for a man of his maturity to be seen running, and he had other plans (related to sleep) for that time of the morning... and therefore politely declined.
