Unplanned, Unexpectant
and then you're not displeased however things turn out.
Started yesterday's session by telling JB that tax on petrol was not nearly high enough, illustrating that average pleb such as himself were capable of owning and heavily utilizing an unnecessarily powerful Audi. He was displeased. JB has changed somewhat with marriage - perhaps because he is unable to afford us a running commentary at the bar, with his opinion on the opposite sex, in front of The Missus. The real surprise came when he declared that he turned down travel abroad in favour of weekly commutes in the Midlands. Pipe and slippers anyone?
PH cunningly used a snide remark I made to his advantage. I laughed when he suggested that his Missus was going to take a taxi; she was informed, rebellious pride invoked, bus was taken instead, Cynic is now a sworn enemy. One less wedding list to sift through, perhaps.
My present choice of car came under fire, yet again, which is somewhat reassuring, given the lack of taste in the voicers of this opinion.
PH & JB & DI then sod off to buy fudge, or whatever middleclass pro-establishment middle england Daily Mail readers do in their spare time; not to be heard from again.
Then what might well have been a 10 hour stint at a single bar, which in hindsight was far less boring than it could have been. ET, who i have only met perhaps once or twice before, served well to annoy AF, with laborious recants on how wonderful the world of accounting is. Far more amusing than this, was witnessing the same story behing thrust upon a group of girls whom ET presumed interested in the world of double entry book keeping.
AM + HP + sibling + sibling's husband showed up later. Sibling confessed to having teenage crush on Obi Wan Kanobi. My attempt to conceal a disturbed look failed.
Today is recovery day, which involved arriving sitting in a Hog's Head bar for 5 hours with (free) tap water, current book and a copy of The Economist.
