500 miles....or was it.

Bob A recent music quiz night ended in argument with just exactly how many miles the Proclaimers walked. The song title is I'm gonna be (500 miles)..... But they did walk 500 more......oh things got a bit feisty.


On the other hand I am a bit more concerned with the relationship between Mr Proclaimer and his lady friend. If he gets drunk....he's going to get drunk next to her. All well and good but if he is going to see her, why does he plan to walk only 500 miles and then 500 more. If his girlfriend lives 1000 miles away....why not plan to walk the whole 1000 miles? Is he unsure about the permanency of the relationship?

When he wakes up, he wakes up next to her? How often does this happen as he appears to live 1000 miles away and I'm not sure about a long distance relationship.

When he's working, he's working hard for her....... If he plans to walk for 2x 500 miles at let's say 50 miles a day that means he would take 20 days to get there.... What some of job would allow him that a out of time off in lieu?

If he's working hard, surely the loss of 20 days salary is an unwise option.

If he is going to walk 2 x 500 miles to drop down at her door, surely the concept of "getting drunk" with her might have something to do with the fact that he drops down at her door.

It's good to know that he plans to give almost every penny on to her. Although the drinking is unwise, it would surely be better to spend the alcohol money on a bus fare so that he can then earn more money at work and maybe save so that they can afford to live closer than the current 1000 miles which seems to be having an adverse effect on their relationship.
I don't think that this would have happened when the Proclaimers were a fine folk trio before Frankie Boyle went solo
