Things you see in films but never in real life

Managed to get sucked into watching the film "Starter for Ten" last night. It was a poor representation of my own university life, given that I went to an ex-polytechnic on the South Coast which had precious few over-achievers in any of its many campuses

I have never done this, but I do know someone who did and it caused massive drama within the doomed relationship. He'd had a long-standing crush on one of his best friends and was dating a friend of hers. He called that friend by the name of his best friend during sex, so the story goes. I also didn't think it happened in real life...

I stand corrected! How bizarre. And how appallingly rude.

Another anecdote - my mother used to work on reception for a media company in the sixties, and crap fifties cornball singer David Whitfield could never remember her name whenever he came in. He justified this with the line: "But at least that means I shall never say it when I'm in bed with my wife". She didn't find this charming in the slightest.

That is... awful. And hilarious.

I felt bad for the guy as his girlfriend blew it entirely out of proportion,but she was a bit of a lame ass anyway. I prefer to just not use names in bed; saves confusion :P
