Last weekend I got to meet up with some old friends and with some new friends. In fact, I met up with twelve people in all. Well, I suppose if you ignore the four year old you could say I met eleven people*. There was one thing that I did notice about ten of them (91%). They came as part of a pair.
Now I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with being part of a pair, what had surprised me was just the number of people that fell into that category. I mean, sure, as you get older you sort of expect that people start getting paired off and the like (afterall, I know of five people who are getting hitched this year alone), but after last weekend it's rather hard to increase that percentage without bringing in another person!!
Of course, it does make it easier to play Blockbusters as it involves a team of two and a team of one. And Bob Holness. This means you can have a couple playing the Blue team and the two singletons, one playing the White side and the other playing Bob. In both matches the White side won and I got to utter the immortal words; "Can I have a 'P' please Bob??"
You shall not hear me complain, but apart from the married pair (parents of the four year old) everyone else was younger than me.
* - well, maybe eleven and a bit people!! ;o)
