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 [...]

Odd. I wrote Best Friend an e-mail, and as I pressed “Send”, my mobile rang: it was her. I was thinking to myself “I wonder how Good Friend in PR is getting on?”, and as the thought pinged into my mind, so an e-mail from him pinged into my Inbox. I ran into Wise Monkey [...]
Fun and Vomiting

Good Friend in PR has been over here for a couple of days, and in flagrant opposition to Sanly’s Law, we managed to meet up on Friday for a late lunch, which gave way to drinks and thence to tea. Tea, because in between bidding adieu after lunch (so that I could hurry home and [...]
Shoes Shined While U Resign!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Good Friend in PR, Resignation on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Wednesday, 25th May 2007 Good Friend in PR has just resigned from the same company I left last year. He had reached dizzy heights in the organisation (transferred to their head office) and had been instrumental in them gaining a far higher profile than they deserved (he’s very good). Anyway, unsurprisingly, he was headhunted by [...]
Morroccan Food. Dear God, Yes.

Tuesday, 26th June 2007 Good Friend in PR and I went out for dinner on Saturday, and very nice it was – good conversation about the random and fear-filled nature of parenting among other things. And we went to a local Moroccan restaurant and I would like to say a big “Hello!” and “Thank You” [...]
Changing Rooms

Sunday, 23rd September 2007 Actually, we’ve been changing curtains: moving the ones we have around the house in an effort to see if any of the HUGELY expensive (but mainly hideous) Colefax and Fowler watered chintz curtains can look good anywhere. Actually, the curtains from the Sitting Room are now in (and look very good [...]
A New Criterion
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Good Friend in PR, Limpin' Hitler's, New York on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Saturday, 13th October 2007 Ambience: blah blah blah. Service: who cares. Food: whatever. An extensive and imaginative wine cellar: bbbbbbbbtttthhhhhffft. As of now there is only one criterion that I am interested in in restaurants: does it revolve? The View in New York, does – and I cannot begin to describe how big a difference [...]

Saturday, 13th October 2007 I had a fantastic time in New York: a work trip that was far less arduous than I had been expecting, and every day spent with Sister and Nephew, which was a real joy. The work was brief and simple: Woody Allen Creative Director is a joy to work with and [...]
Christmas Guests

Saturday, 15th December 2007 Great Friend in PR and Bearded Decorator are coming for Christmas and we’re VERY excited. They seem to think that they’re only here for a couple of days – but that is NOT our plan: the menus alone mean that we’re going to need them for four – five weeks… Charming [...]

Thursday, 27th December 2007 Christmas has been fantastic. Good Friend in PR and his boyfriend arrived on Christmas Eve, and were perfect guests: happy to be left alone while Wife and I got stuff ready, happy to play with the children, and (of course) funny and great company. Apart from a Carol Service that combined [...]
