I set out to take photographs of the bluebells in the local churchyard this week and completely accidentally pissed off the bell ringer at the same time ...
Man, appearing as if from nowhere: Did you hear the bells?
Me, sat in a patch of bluebells with a camera: Bells?
Man, with annoyance: The bells! The bells!
Me, looking surreptitiously at Man's back for a hump because, well, Disney: 'Bells?
Me, sat in a patch of bluebells with a camera: Bells?
Man, with annoyance: The bells! The bells!
Me, looking surreptitiously at Man's back for a hump because, well, Disney: 'Bells?
Man, with exasperation: The BELLS!... I've been ringing them for the last two hours.
Me: Ah, no sorry. I've not been here very long.
Man: TWO HOURS OF ..... He then gave an extremely lengthy, time-consuming, complicated list of exotic sounding bell ringing terms, complete with accompanying actions.
At least, I hope they were bell-ringing terms.
Me, apologetically, politely, if not entirely sincerely: Oh, I am sorry I missed that.
