There are so many fascinating facets it is difficult to do the subject justice but I feel I must try. I have met a beaut. An absolute stonker.
There are rigid painful smiles from everybody who encounters him for any length of time. He’s rather jolly. His eyes are wide when talking his bollocks.
We all know that The Bore has absolutely no interest in telling a story that you could possibly be interested in. They achieve this as you know by talking about people THEY knew in the past in places you’re not familiar with. That is standard practice of the persistent Bore. But what this fella has added to the repertoire (as it were) is he doesn’t have the story straight. He keeps forgetting the times and places. So the story itself (of infinite tedium) is peppered by a sort of back- tracking just to make it more unendurably interminably excruciating.
So for example ‘We were in Donnington no we were back back in Hove, it was in ’86 no it was in 84 and we were somewhere in Suffolk I cant remember..’.The ‘topic’ of his discourse was generated by my saying to him that I was going to have my haircut that day. That set him off. He had been a barber. Corrected himself and said he owned a barbers. Corrected him self again and said it was a salon and his ex owned it but he had put money into it. ‘about £60, 000 no I put £100, 000 or was it £80,000 cant remember anyway…’
I am trying to think of the point to the story. The point he was trying to make I mean .It just fizzled out.
No, own up I just couldn’t take anymore and just made my excuses and abruptly left. That is the truth of it.
Got to say he doesn’t physically stop you from leaving like some aggressive Bores do. In fact you’ve just got say ‘I’m sorry but I’ve got to go’ and he steps ouf of the way.
What else about him? He tells me what bargains he has got from the shops. He even fetches me his junk mail where he gets these bargains. And exhorts me to do the same. Now that is innovative for me regarding the practice of being a bore. Someone getting their junk mail for you to read.
Really I am in Awe of this Bore.
