My Mrs can top that. We were out with friends a couple of christmases ago and bumped into another mate of mine out with his girlfriend. When she went to the toilet, he told us that he had bought her a ring for christmas.burty wrote:I went to watch the RallyCross at Brands Hatch one year in December - they always used to have the final round there. I was with a workmate who I (obviously) didn't know all that well. It was pretty cold and the ground was frozen (fairly normal at that time of year.
Anyway the next day he said to me
"the only part of me that got cold yesterday was my foot",
to which I replied "your foot? Why have you only got one?"
"yes " was his reply.
I didn't know what to say. It was one of those foot in mouth moments. Turns out he'd lost his leg in a bike accident some years previously, and I just didn't know.
My Mrs, excitable as ever, asked which hand the ring was for (presuming it may be an engagemnet ring).
But you've guessed it, she only had one hand
