I think being back in London

Will greatly improve the diversity of my postings here. The amount of things that you observe in this big hunking city is truly amazing... Here's to brining the comedy back to this blog, we've had quite enough of the tragic kind for a long time.

I was on the tube the other night coming back from one of my numerous flat viewings. I was on the circle line heading to kings cross to make the transfer to the picadily line to head back up to andrea and dany's house... Then the most daper man i've seen in a very long time boarded the train. He was a page right out of a different time... he was immaculate, petite but so well groomed it was almost giggle-worthy. He had his hair cut in a short style with a light amount of styling cream to hold it in place without looking overstated. He wore a blue overcoat with suede lapels. A very large gold and silver rolex, a bespoke suit, a gold ring on his index finger with a few diamonds and Louis Vuitton loafers. I know that in writing this it sounds cliche which in it's own way it was but he carried it off with such an air or confidence and charm you couldnt' help but notice him. As the doors opened we arrived to the door at the same time and he halted and motioned for me to pass through before him. I did the mental tick box in my head in thinking... he doesn't just look the part, he acts it. He then floated a a great pace between all the commuters and then flounced up the staircase and out of sight. When I arrived to the next platform I had a few minutes to wait. What I didn't however notice, was the fact that he was right behind me. We boarded the next train and held the pole in the middle of the carriage as at that time of night the train was very crowded. It was so funny as I couldn't help but stare at him. He was such an interesting creature. I wanted to know his name his story and I cant' describe it but I just couldn't get over how old school English he looked. I'm sure he couldn't help but notice me processing him... So out I flick my ipod and in an attempt at subtle humour shuffled up 'this charming man' by the smiths. As I've got an ipod touch you can see the album cover and song name on the display. I'm almost certain he noticed it. Ha ha tube flirting!!

As the train pulled into my station I promised myself that if he got off the train at my stop I would ask him for a drink.... I got off, turned back to see if he too had gotten off, but alas he did not so my chance was lost... he wisked away along to wherever was his final destination.

I smiled all the way home...

Flirting is so awesome and so much fun! Too bad you lost him in the crowd...
