Might be gout

That thought had crossed my mind, as heavy beer drinking can bring on gout, so a reasonable thought in view of Stan's drinking habit.

He's been banging about a painful foot for weeks, resting it for days at a time doesn't seem to resolve the issue. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would get it checked out, but well...

If he's got an ounce it won't be common sense

Don't want to disappoint Stan but outside of city bars where people may speak English or Spanish ( although my experience in the south is that speaking Spanish is a quick invite to be met with a look bordering on contemp) that conversations with agrarian Portuguese , where they are possible , tend to be quite mundane. I was in a small local bar where I know a couple of people who I can speak Portenglish with ie they know a few bits of English I know a few bits if Portuguese and we mime the rest or I use google translate. Some random bloke , think he's a shepherd , looked at my lighter and explained that whereas his lighter had a small stone in it ie a flint, mine was electric and the wind wouldn't put it out. This went on for some time and I was delighted when to prove his point he began blowing on them to illustrate the difference. I made my excuses and left and sat down to watch Sporting Lisbon and within ten minutes he joined me and brought some friends over to once again examine lighters . This went in for a further twenty minutes and then he bought me a beer and proceeded to repeat the same conversation passing the different lighters for his friends to experiment with blowing on the lighters. I bought them a beer and left and then realised I'd left my lighter in the table. Just before I could get out the car he appeared tapped in the window which I wound down and then repeated the difference between the lighters before handing mine back to me. Might give that bar a wide berth for s few weeks.

There are plenty of them round here. The best ones are the shepherds who spend all day wandering around with sheep and goats talking to themselves drinking copiously during the day. Stop to say hallo and you could be there for quite a while. It's too dry for them now there's no grass just burnt plants and this red clay/ stone soil. They normally lie in wait in a darkened part of a bar.

I think you may have strayed into an alternate reality where the Fast Show is real.
 
So, how does Your Lighter affect your life?

"Affect my life? It controls my life", someone told me. They went on to explain that they could shelter from the flame, but never escape it. It provides, it takes away, it is everything.

My own perception is a spiritual one. I appreciate all the affects of Lighter, the life, the power, the , the variable flame, the clicky wheel thing - the fags, and all else they light. But, it is the almighty power which really grabs me most.

From The Lost Photographer: So, how does The Atlantic Ocean affect your life?

Slightly ammended sorry Stan!
