London

Just back from the smoke with an only mild hangover!

Manged to ;

  • Get lost on the way out of the Xmas lunch venue, so totally failed to go with everyone else to pub on Kings Road, ended up on Wandsworth Bridge and had to jump in a cab back to the hotel (thank goodness for black cabs!)
  • Now stayed in fave hotel so often that I'm getting free drinks off the manager - may be a bad sign. He is a nice bloke though bless him.
  • Got to 8am breakfast meeting even with lunch hangover.
  • Have 3 new instructions today - do they not know it's nearly Christmas! Great to have the work but clients need to work on their timing.

Have shamelessly stolen good line from teen movie that I know old mate won't see and told him his mood swings give me whiplash! It's true but I fear it may have something to do with his current cocaine content!

Sounds like an interesting trip into town, Lippy. As for purloining (how can you not love this word?) the phrase, more power to you, I say. Language needs to be made interesting else we will all become dullards.

The coke is shite at the moment, everyone wants it so its cut to bits, it always is around xmas time, better waiting until the new year, hopefully his mood swings will be better in the new year.
Hey have a great xmas and New Year !
