More randomness- I'm still chuckling at this a little, even though my mum always told me it was mean to laugh at the misfortunes of others....meh...fuck it!

Ok now is this funny or not??? I felt really harsh about it afterwards, but at the time it was the funniest thing ever..... and I responded accordingly!.
I was out a few evenings ago in quite a trendy bar in Nottingham with a bunch of friends, and some friends of friends who I didnt know. I am regaled in all of my tattooed and pierced glory, in a vest and jeans waaay too big, and the looks of disgust from the floppy haired emo snobs and Franz Ferdinand attired posers, are cutting across the room at quite a satisfying rate.
As the evening went on, I progressively was introduced around the group to those Id not met before, instantly forgetting names as I was told them (I find that this gets worse and worse relative to how many drinks Ive had across the evening), and generally chatting the usual rubbish as you do. My new acquaintances were all fairly pleasant, barring one guy who Id met before once or twice. Lets call him Chris for the sake of originality. Given wed spoken on various occasions in the past, I was a bit surprised at how stand offish he was when I spoke to him. Having had a few drinks, rather than just leaving the guy alone to his sulk, my thought process was more along the lines of well fuck you, you obviously dont want to talk to me so Im going to talk to you twice as much.
It occured to me that the last time Id seem him, hed been with his girlfriend, whose name I actually happened to remember by virtue of the fact that she was strikingly pretty and a big fan of an old Matt Dillon film called the Saint of Fort Washington, which I like very much too...... but I digress. For the purposes of anonymity, Ill refer to her as ummmm...Sophie.

The scene is an achingly cool bar, where two guys stand talking amongst a group of their mutual friends, one seemingly berating the other, who appears to be trying to edge away....
The conversation ran a little like this;-

*lull in conversation* - *uncomfortable pause*

(Me)- So....ummm...Chris....hows it going with Sophie?

*Chriss face falls* - *long uncomfortable pause*

(Chris)- We split up....2 weeks ago

(Me)- Oh...uh...Im sorry to hear that.....ummm...what happened?

*another long pause, during which the merest hint of a tear twinkles in Chriss eye*

(Chris)- She cheated on me....

(Me)- Oh shit, man that fucking sucks...etc etc...oh well, at least you found out and youre rid of her

(Chris)- I guess...the thing is, she cheated on me with Har Mar Superstar

*it takes me a moment to place who he is talking about, as his tone suggests that I should know this individual on a personal basis, but the venom in his voice is unmistakable* - *the blank look on my face gives me away*

(Chris)- Hes a singer

*The realization dawns.....I am stunned* - *the uncomfortable silence stretches an eternity*

(Me)- The fat balding guy...?

(Chris)- Yes!

(Me)- With the tash...?

(Chris)- YES!

(Me)- Sophie did???

Something about this suddenly strikes me as being that this is the funniest thing I have ever heard. I laugh......and not just a little bit.....I laugh uncontrollably (perhaps fuelled a little by Jack and Coke), obvlivious to this guys obvious pain at the situation. Im somewhat at a loss to know how to respond, and so continuing to laugh felt like my only option. I felt like a terrible bastard about it afterwards, because Chris was obviously hurting as a result of Har Mars animal magnetism, but jesus, I gotta ask........

How bad are things in your relationship when your girlfriend fucks on you with this guy???????
