A colleague is over in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on business. He's just sent me this...

True story, 5 minutes ago - Great conversation in the hotel bar with a chap asking the barman about a film on the TV, "how many films are there in this trilogy", barman replies "3", chap said "I thought there was only 2" barman says "you might be right". Could not believe it.

I think there is every chance they may be related.

Related to you?

Maybe the barman was being sarcastic - maybe he was fed up with moronic customers. Maybe the customer was attempting to be funny. Maybe they are both thick

Oooh, get you. You city types are all the same.

I'm going to go for the latter. I suggested he ask them how many were in a 'sequel'.

Us city types are also free some lunchtimes for Coffee.....hint.

Where are us city types based at some lunchtimes ?

Not just the Yanks......when Mum was a young lass, back in the olden days in Elland, Yorkshire, she was larking about with two mates, when a friend's Mum commented: "EEEEE, you three are a right pair"

I have been known to have a 'dull as dishwater' moment myself

Catching a coach back from Glasgow my mate and I got seperated, she calls across to me and says 'we are sitting next to identical twins' my dumbass reply was

'how do you know?'

I think the whole coach erupted into hysterics

Us city types are based on Elizabeth Street.

Damn, us bankers are close by in Bourke Street. 500 to be precise. I dare say we can find a convenient place to debate BE, Melbourne and all things Scottish.

I'll bring some tablet and a Sunday Post. Help ma boab.

Will I be able to understand your accent ?

It will be a touch refined for your rough Ayrshire ears.

We will pm for time and place.
