The Smiling Hour


Last night I went to a 'do' and stayed up very late, or was it early, drinking outrageously priced gin and tonics bought for me on someone else's expense account and generally doing the schmoosy sorts of things I do not habitually do.

Today has not been entirely productive.

I shall require an early night.

And some sweet, sweet Nancy.

  1. Can't do the arse licking not in my nature, the face always gives it away. But for a good gin and tonic I would give it a go.

    Have a good one Mr H.

  4. Thing is, I say I'll have an early night, but I probably won't. I am pathologically unable to of a Friday or Sat. In fact, I think I even might say hello to a little drink in a bit.

  5. I'm going to say hello to a nice bottle of Riptide just as soon as I've shut down the work laptop and drawn a veil over the working week in about 30 seconds time.

    Even when not drinking I find it impossible to go to bed early on a Friday night too Davy it just feels like such a waste even if you're doing sod all.

  6. Out for a spin myself tonight boys. No need to sleep in the office again - late trains Friday 'n'all that

    I'm off to a surprise birthday party for Spizz Energi. Which will be a surprise for him, as he won't have a bloody clue who I am...I just know a mate of his

    Cheers, chin, chin and I'm away for an egg and chips hunt (drinkers rule eat your tea)

    PS I can never do any early one either Drew it feels all wrong

  15. That's why I love the BBC and Radio 4 in particular. Nobody else would commission a programme like that. It was most enjoyable.
