Frightening the horses

[caddyman]

Can we spell idiot, boys and girls?

I think we can, yes.

Having spelt¹ the word, I can now define it: an idiot is someone who goes into the shower room, showers, and then discovers that he has left the towel outside. Luckily, this idiot has a toweline dressing gown (not as suave as a silk smoking jacket, dahlink, but mightily practical in the circumstances. And not a whiff of decadence), and was able to don that for the dash upstairs.

This is not recommended behaviour. It's too chilly for one, and soggy bathrobes bind in the most surprising of places. If you know what I mean...


¹Yes folks, another hard verb - the second tonight. Spell checker be damned.

The image of you twinkling damply up the stairs cheered me enormously! To complete the picture, what colour is it?

Hee hee

Your dressing gown, angel!

Not saying nuffink, not a word. See? This is me not commenting.

I just had the most bloody horrifying flashback:
Seven years of grammar school PE changing rooms, once a week, after the dreaded mandatory post-rugby shower, among a gaggle of pallid dripping boys trying not to jostle each other.
And people wonder why I despise sports?

I appreciate both your restraint, and the effort behind it, Sirrah.

I would mock, were it not that having read this at some stupid hour of morning, I then ambled off showerwards myself, realising too late that I had done exactly the same thing, but lacking the bathrobe of partial redemption.
