Affair of the tarts

S and I went to a live comedy show at the weekend. Sometimes the acts are good, sometimes appalling, and, on occasion, you'll see a mixture of the two.

So, anyway, that's enough about the acts. Really. (Seriously, they were nondescript.)

Anyway, what really got my goat (and S's) was that there was a couple in the front row, a man and woman, who were openly having an affair. They told the acts they were married (to other people) and seemed nonchalant about it. They had the air of a couple doing illicit things who were obviously getting off on the people around them disapproving. (It wasn't a joke, this pair were far from jokers...)

OK, so I know affairs happen. But bloody hell, this was ridiculous – why they didn't just go public and make it 'legit', I don't understand. You could just tell they were off on some 'business trip' as far as their spouses were concerned but, most disturbing, they were loving the fact that they were talking about their wonderful relationship in public where no one knew them. A pair of exhibitionists. They really didn't give a damn.

The comedians commented on the affair but you could tell they were uncomfortable with the whole thing and mainly resorted to looks of disbelief at the canoodling pair. At one point, S saw them sucking each others insides out and the woman said to the man (referring to the comedians' disapproval): "This always happens when we come to [insert name of area]." And she giggled madly. Pair of tarts. And you could just tell that the man had bought a new shirt from Ted Baker to impress the woman. It was a pulling shirt and he must have been 45 or so. Nowt wrong with being 45 but bloody hell, he looked odd.

Cringe x 50 million.
