Hi all, long time lurker on this subreddit and now first time poster. I’ve been debating sharing this story for a while, any feedback is welcome and hope you enjoy!

Just over 3 years ago, I worked at a brewery in my town, amongst a reasonably close-knit shift of 10 people. Sometimes after finishing work on a Friday, we’d all head out for a drink together. On one occasion, me and 3 others ended up having a ‘guys vs gals’ game of pool for a £20 wager a piece, in which me and my colleague Alan fell to defeat against the two ladies on our shift, Susan and Karla.
The ladies, still feeling cocky about their triumph weeks on, challenged us to a rematch with increased winnings on the line. Me and Alan, desperate to salvage some pride, accepted their challenge and so, after work, we headed to the nearest pub to settle the score.
To cut the details you’re probably not too interested in hearing out, me and Alan were triumphant in our rematch, winning by 7 frames to 2. After being given our winnings, Alan and Susan decided to call it a day, needing to get home to their kids and partners, leaving me and Karla at the bar. With neither of us in a rush to get home, we decided to have a couple more games and drinks.
