Don't you just listening in to people's conversations? When I hear a delicious snippet of something, it always paints a vibrant picture of possibilities - which is limited only by one's imagination.
One lunch time, Hector and I sat in a quiet pub in deepest Devon (near Dartmouth). There were two old men at the bar. Two salty old sea dogs who did not sit together, but were separated by a bar stool. Both had straggly, grey beards and wore comfy, baggy jumpers that had seen better days. It was clear they were local men who had slipped out for a pint. They sat silently sipping their beer. In fact they did not speak at all for a long while. (For this blog, we shall call them 'Man A' and 'Man B').
Eventually, the silence was broken...
Man A - "I saw The Pig Man today."
Man B - "Ah"
Man A - "I didn't mention it."
Man B - "Ah"
Man A - "He didn't mention it either."
Man B - "No, the Pig Man wouldn't. You will have to mention it, if you want The Pig Man to do something about it"
Man A - "I'll mention it next it week then."
Man B - "Ah"
Both men went back to their silent supping.
