Some of you bog trotting micks who live in Dublin maybe familiar with the Phoenix part and an area which is called the Dog pond (small lake) - the name never looked suspicious to me, guess I was wrong.
At the top of the hill that goes down to the dog pond you have a car park.
I've been training legs a day before and I had no desire to join my wife for a walk, but I was happy that she let me stay in the car so I could finish
An awesome book I am reading right now (Children of the apocalypse).
10 min into my book (the weather was nice and sunny but fresh and a little nippy) I see two individuals come out of the bushes to my left side
Approximately 200m away – since there are a lot of people walking their dogs or going for leisure walks I did not pay any attention to them.
Incidentally they had their car parked right beside me – and I had a quick glance over when they got in the car.
Both were about 30 – 35 years old and both looked somewhat eastern Europeans.
My alarm bells when off when one guy got out of his car again and walked behind my car and I couldn’t see him in my mirrors any more at this stage my street sixth sense kicked in.
Both of my windows were down and I remember was thinking better keep an eye on this guy.
All of a sudden he was leaning on the passenger side of the window, here is the conversations I had with him.
Him: Hi
Me: Hi – mind not leaning on my car?
Him – Sure sorry didn’t want to intrude (nice and polite)
Me – No problem, how can I help you.
Him – Hmm you’re reading this book? I mean are you REALLY reading this book or?!?
Me - ?
Him – Because if you don’t I would like you to have my phone number
Me (at this stage I realized what this was about) No man that’s alright I am here to wait for my wife (pointing to the child seat in the back)
Here come the best line I have ever EVER heard!!!
Him – That’s alright... I have a wife too (he winks and gets in his car)
I am not the same person anymore...
