A couple of weeks ago, I went to Madrid with work – the first trip since the whole, sad divorce thing. I had been worried that it was going to be awful – and in some ways, it was (the reality of being away from everyone, and the fact that that will be a reality [...]

“That’s Not My Wife”
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Advertising Agency, Drunk, Old Friend at Work, Wife on December 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A plan to meet up with Old Friend At Work didn’t work out – but thinking about her, and how long we have known each other, reminded me of one of the stranger evenings that we have had.
It was a dark, Winter night – and OFAW and I were rounding off an evening out (by [...]
Underground Rebel Bingo

I cannot describe the joyousness of my Saturday night out in Clerkenwell with Best Friend, Talented Advertising Creative, Clever Monkey, Insanely Appropriate Monkey and Oh Yeah We Worked Together. The venue, the occasion, the pastime was “Underground Rebel Bingo” – as silly, fun, full throttle and brilliant a night out as I have had in [...]
The Wrong Side Of The Bed

I love the saying “I got out of the wrong side of the bed”: it’s one of those phrases that has an almost cartoon-like quality, the suggestion that the sort of day one will have is arbitrary (but inevitable) in its direction, and all that it hinges on is which side of the bed one [...]
I, Ben Kingsley

Although, apparently that should be “Sir Ben Kingsley”, as the pompous twat insists on being addressed… But that’s beside the point, the point is that last night, I turned INTO Ben Kingsley; not the lovable, stick-carrying incarnation of Gandhi, but the maniacal, expletive-shouting lunatic who makes such a worrying impression in “Sexy Beast”.
Good Friend in [...]
This Way To The Corporate Hostility Tent

Ah! Corporate Hospitality – as fine an example of an oxymoron as one may find in all the loose-stooled sewer that is marketing speak! The pretense that, given the option, both parties would CHOOSE to be where they are, laughing at each other’s terrible jokes and re-telling stories so ancient that they have grown a [...]
Drunk and Shouting – Again

The sooner I realise that I am not to be trusted in professional company when the St. Joseph has been flowing for a couple of hours, the better.
On Friday Old Friend In Advertising, Account Manager That I Have Changed My Mind About, Distractingly Breasted TV Producer, Common Sense Creative and Silent But Approachable Creative were [...]
Big Balls and Small Balls
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Drunk on May 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Wife and I went to a ball last night, along with Kind But Deadly Couple, Governmental Head of Communications With Filthy Laugh and Sardonic Scot, and any number of others.
The high point (also the low point) of the night was probably Woman Who Dressed As An Elf At Christmas (who was absolutely CLITTED), returning to [...]

Thursday, 14th May 2007
A magnificent night out with Best Friend. We found the most off-hand, self-satisfied French bar staff in London, and then went for a superb meal in Smithfields Market. The time flew by. I just wish I still saw her every day.
I got the Tube home, but found that I had to walk [...]

Fucking hell: I made a RIGHT twat of myself on Friday night.
I went to the pub with Old Friend At Work and Unimpressed Planner – and naturally, there were quite a few others from work there as well: including a man who shall now be known as Creative Baffled To Find Himself [...]
