Mine happened over in Belfast. I was serving over there on a very small detachment of 3 blokes. Anyway, on those sorts of jobs the days just seem to roll into each other and you kind of lose track of things.
Myself and another fella headed into the city for our usual meal and a few pints of the black stuff. Anyway, we chose our restaurant (not dissimilar to a hard rock cafe type place). For some reason it seemed extraordinarily busy for a week day. We took our table and ordered without batting an eyelid.
Then my mate taps my leg under the table - "Have you noticed anything strange" he says. "No" says I. " Look above us mate" he says.
I look up and there is the biggest balloon shaped like a love heart you have ever seen! Yep, it was Valentines day..........
Needless to say my burger didn't touch the sides and we passed on the dessert.
