I have had a think, and here is my most embarrassing moment.
About nine years ago I lost a considerable amount of weight, I went from a 48 inch waist to a 32 and looked like a different man. it gave me a massive new lease of life and new found confidence id never had - but this lead to some cringe inducing moments...
I was at the casino playing poker with the house, and had far to much drink, i was pretty well gone..Anyways I thought it would be a good idea to remove my shirt (at the table) after all id worked for this body why not show it off! much to the amusement of my mates and disbelief of the casino staff...I was ejected from the casino...
Outside there was some scaffolding around the building and i proceeded to start doing pull ups of it (whilst people walked passed me on the street (this was in the middle of the day at a busy seaside resort)...CRINGE!...
Then I noticed some commotion, music really loud and loads of people walking down the street dancing , a real carnival vibe! I thought this was the best thing ever and decided to join in (still topless)but my mates who came outside for a cigarette when i was ejected did not join in and just smiled at me as i went... Dancing down the street, hugging strangers - it was awesome, I eventually tired and went back to the casino and found my friends and that was the end of that.
The next day i got a phonecall of a mate who could hardly contain his laughter, i was told to go read the local news paper. Turns out a Gay pride carnival had come to town and I was very much a part of it without even knowing.
I must make this clear that i have absolutely no prejudice against gay people whatsoever - but as a hetro man with a hetro group of friends this something that i never ever lived down.
