Ere in Wigan the old 1980’s roller disco rink is having something of a revival, so my 9 year old has been dragging me there several times a week and I must admit I’m really enjoying it, got my own skates an all!
Anyway, i’m progressing in speed and handling and getting quite handy after a few months and last night I’m pootling around the top of the rink, turning a corner, overtaking a load of people (going around the outside of them) and I’m suddenly faced with no space between girl on the outside of the bunch and the barrier, I see my line, make my move and go for it and it narrows still, I try to stop but too late, we scrubs skates gently and at the point I think I’m taking her down I go to grab her upper arm to catch her and put my left arm on her arm and my right arm squarely on her right T*T!!!! she screamed once with fright and second with shock!
She was I reckon 17-19 year old and I’m 37! I spent the rest of the night ‘feeling the looks’ from her grunge/skinny drain pipe jeans massif…..
Now, considering hanging up the boots 😆
