Might have to give it a miss I’m afraid – what with being back at work for the first time in ages tomorrow I’m suddenly finding about a thousand jobs I need to do in advance. I’ll know for sure nearer 7. ---

Can’t make it tonight, I’m afraid. I’ve got to go to A Work Social Event. This translates to “mandatory tedium” pan ---

Well, I believe he’s probably got one pink eye but I really don’t want to see it. Ever. As for the rest: Get a grip, yer miserable sods (kabbes, you’re exempted) !! ---

Well that was a nice evening and it was a great pleasure to again have the chance of spending a few hours solving the world’s problems with John over the occasional half. He wasn’t too familiar with downtown London so we took a stroll around a few of the sights while also taking the opportunity of popping in to relieve the odd host of a little of the sauce. All very civilised and most enjoyable on a balmy evening. He also impressed at least one barmaid (inevitably Australian) and even caught the right train home. I also think he must have been practicing that tricky curb stepping manoeuvre as his road-side performance was impeccable – _this_ time. Cheers, John. Look forward to the next drinkies! ---
