"Have a seat," said Trevor, as the new guy on the block shuffled into the bar. Trevor had seen him enter the hotel across the road a few times, looking a bit lost. The live music played away, and some of the other guys in the bar got up to sing. New Best Pal felt very welcome and relaxed, pleased that he had met a guy as nice as Trevor.
New Best Pal was a bit naive - his marriage had spat him out, leaving him homeless and wondering where all his pals had gone. Ignoring people for twenty-odd years is never a way to maintain a friendship - so new best pal booked a holiday to Thailand, eager for a kind word, and more, if such a thing could be arranged. Trevor had been the very guy - he knew every trick in the book, every scam, he kept New Best Pal in the loop - even advising him which girls "were the best," if you know what I mean. Nudge, nudge. wink wink, say no more, huh?
New Best Pal didn't mind paying for the drinks cos Trevor was waiting on his ATM card being posted. "Those damn ATM machines, they'd eat your fingers if they got a chance," said Trevor. And of course - "British banks are useless, useless I'm telling you - and don't get me started on the Thai postal service!"
Trevor shook New Best Pal by the hand and wished him a good flight. He was sorry that the card hadn't arrived in time - the drinks would be on him the next time NBP was in town. "Cheerio," and a wave, as the taxi left for the airport.
