    You two remind me of Stadler and Waldorf.

    As for me I'm having an orange.

    Ha, yes that's probably about right.

    I have just eaten a take out pizza - I know, I know, but I have just rode 10 miles and played 4 sets of tennis as well as packed for Ireland. I've washed it down with a couple of the usual non beer beers.

    3.30am get up, what nonsense is that?

    Nothing, absolutely nothing, would get me up at 3.30am. Certainly not a wedding, I would be more inclined to send a telegram to be read by the best man. On the other hand, if you are to be best man, I would send a lookalike surrogate. My sleep is more important than just about anything I can envisage.
    However, do try to enjoy the proceedings.

    Just had a salad and drinking a bottle of Soave.

    I feel exactly the same way and I have protested accordingly, for a year. On top of this I have had the "pleasure" of paying over £300 for the flight AND I've had to pay the hotel extra for early booking in??? CRaZy. However, at least it gets me out of work for two days, so, considering that, at least there is some compensation. (Oh and the alarm is set for 2.15, the taxi is booked for 3.30am???)

    Anyway, finishing two more little beers to help me sleep and then I'm going to lay in bed unable to sleep.

    Cheers, enjoy the Soave.

    After many attempts, I have finally tracked down Asbach Uralt, a German brandy made in Rudesheim. It's one of the most potent reminiscences of the Germany of my youth. I am now drinking it with Coca Cola, as was the fashion in those days, and wishing I had stayed there instead of returning to England's increasingly busted flush.

    I don't believe there is such a thing beyond what we are told.

    Are you feeling all right, Emil??

    You told us neither where the crackers were made nor how many were in the packet!

    And I will not even mention the lack of year, price and retailer for the wine!


    I am having tea... straight.

    I'm heartened that you are interested in the details of my drinking habits. I have just finished a very nice salad and the accompanying Japanese crackers were,surprisingly, made in Japan, There were approximately 50 crackers in the packet. As for the wine, I'm ashamed to say that it is of last year's vintage even though it is Pinot Grigio and produced by Pasqua.
    However, I am consoling myself with Asbach Uralt brandy and coca cola.
