Scene: A Café/Bar somewhere in Ibiza. Late Summer 2003

It’s 2am in the busy little place, which is presently somewhat dominated by a loud and merry group of friends from Munchen Gladbach.

In the centre of the bar, on a small raised podium, the resident musician sighs as he completes his haunting rendition of Rodriguez Guitar Concerto number one, and pauses to acclaim the scattered applause of the few people close enough to hear him over the cacophony of noise in the bar.

‘How about playing something gut now?’
came a shout from the back of the club.

‘Ja! How about, a David Hasselhof number?’

‘Yeah mate, you wish!’
came a disembodied voice from the other side.

‘ Yeah, that’s enough of that ****e, how about ‘Three Lions’? eh? 4:1, 4:1, 4:1, 4:1……………..’

‘This is unreal’ , thought the guitarist,
‘I am an artist. Just how did I end up here?’

Suddenly he became aware of someone walking up behind him.

‘How about DeLuxe Dean?’, came a whisper in his ear.

Dean looked round, and was amazed to see Helen, resplendant in a simple, figure hugging and faintly glittering black dress, standing right beside him.

‘Bloody hell, Helen, what are you doing here? I mean, it’s lovely to see you, but, I didn’t expect to find you here, never in a million years!’...

Back in 2002 Romantic Old Bird (ROB) started writing stories involving her favourite BB couple, Helen and Paul. What started off as a small idea soon became a big project and TiBB got graced with these lovely, romantic and ever hopeful stories that ROb would weave together with such adoration and passion. Unfortunately she passed away a few years later, but her legacy remains for all to read and it has it's very own subforum.
