New Years Eve, 2005. I had a mobile phone at the time, and it rings.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe! I'm down at the Rocks [suburb of Sydney] and it's goin' off! Come down here now so I can give you a big kiss!"
A brief pause. Image dance briefly though my head. It would take me an hour to drive there...
"Uh well, thanks for that, but much as I'd like to, I think my wife would object, which makes me think you have the wrong number".
"Oh! Okay".
"Thanks for the offer though".
A laugh. "No problem!"
Because it was so random, it was quite a nice touch to the evening.
