Was I that ugly?

Walked over to Muswell Hill this morning with the missus and bumped into a friend we had not seen for a long time.

"Hello!!" she gushed and planted a smacker on me before I could duck.

Not a great fan of this kissy kissy stuff but that's another story.

"Wow!!" she says to me, "you look great! Have you lost weight?"


Well I HAVE been working on my bingo wings

"Not really"

"But you look fantastic!"

"Thanks very much, but I'm just the same really"

"Well, you've got such a glow about you!!!"

I really didn't know what to say. I came to the disturbing conclusion that she must have had the following mental picture of me


Mmmm, yes, perhaps it's time for a bit of E45 cream
