Hi folks,

Here is a good one. Two nights ago I performed at a poetry event and after my slot an acquaintance came in with a young woman that I didn't know. They sat down with us. She talked to me for a while, in a pretty forward, flirty, kind of way, and then leaned over to my wife and said "Tell your husband that he is a patronising git." I have to confess that I stood up for myself and gave back as good as I got.

Here's the rub. I find out later what her job is. She's a psychiatrist, a professionally qualified, working psychiatrist.

Now some people will know something of me from these boards. I'm going to put myself in your hands on this one - patronising git??

Yours humbly, and feeling a bit triggered.

Myzen
