Out this weekend with La Belle Fille and her friends. I have kept my head down in her locale for a while, after failing to win her friends over with my drunken ranting. This weekend shaped up as dinner with her folks, who I do seem to have won over. All well as usual, with good food and wine, and the odd "Top Five" discussion.
The opportunity for redemption arose after dinner, when her friends texted to summon us for a pint. One pint became two, and ended up as karaoke in a Chinese restaurant. Brilliant, although slightly intimidating, as LBF has the voice of an angel, and her friends all sing above the average, whereas I can't hold a tune for shit.
Anyway, the point is that I was able to go out and have a few drinks without offending anyone, and act just like a normal person.
Almost...
LBF's singing partner's flatmate is very protective of LBF, and less than enamoured with me; she took great offense to me appearing to 'coach' LBF at her singing (which I wasn't), and then there followed the great 'lighter' misunderstanding.
I did try; but I guess you can't please all the people all the time.....

Oh just go ahead and marry the girl. Her friends are going to hate you no matter what you do. I have been married to my wife for 35years and her best friend still can't stand me.
Women have that female bunching up genetic thingy.....all secretive and such with their past hx's. And they try their damnest to break up any relationship you have with your drinkin' buds.....
