It had been a hell of a day. Don, a friend of the family had invited me to accompany him an airshow that was not too far from his home. He'd never had any family of his own to do things with and he'd always treated me like a son he'd never had. I'd always had an interest in aeroplanes and this was the second year we were going to see the planes and the displays. I was looking forward to it as it was to be the last time the Vulcan flew before it was to be retired.
We'd spent all day there and as the afternoon wore on Don suggested that we should head off home. I agreed, i'd seen everything i'd hoped to and was ready to head back. My feet were aching from all of the walking we'd done throughout the day and I needed to sit down. I thought I may even have a nap in the car on the way back.
Seeing as the airshow was so close to Don's house he'd invited me to stay for the weekend. We were planning on heading out to the local pub later that night for a few beers and something to eat.
When we got back to the house, we realised that the time was knocking on and decided to quickly get changed and head straight out to the pub.
It was a good evening, we had a few pints, a meal and a good laugh. We talked about all of the things we'd seen throughout the day and agreed that we should do it again next year.
At around 10:30pm we decided to head back to Don's house. It was only a short walk from the pub to Don's and soon I had put the TV on and dropped into an armchair in the lounge. While Don was in the kitchen rustling up some more drinks I had noticed his collection of films stacked up at the side of the TV and began to look through them. I found an old Rocky film and as Don came into the lounge I held it up and said to him "Hey do you mind if we put this on?"
He handed me my drink and said, "Hang on i've got something else you might like."
