Tonight. Puccini's, on the El Jadida Corniche, about 7 o'clock. Nice cold ice cold Speciale, and perhaps a pizza.

Re: Anyone fancy a beer?
I never confirmed, but I now confirm that I won't be coming :( I've been travelling for the last three weeks and got back yesterday afternoon so will be in front of the TV watching Netflix.
Shame, as I'm quite keen to show off the new skinny me :) |

Well this is falling apart quicker than Saints' first team squad.
Is anyone left in or shall we re-arrange to a better date? |

Re: Anyone fancy a beer?
**** it. I'm not going. I'm shattered and having an utterly shit day at work.
Some dumb **** in India decided he forgot his son starts college next year so can't fly for the new position in India....tomorrow. At least it didn't cost me (not cost, just didn't make me) over 8,000 in bonus. To make matters even more fun, some **** in the office just wriggled out of splitting some revenue with me, another 4,000 not earned. At least I can go home and know I'm not greedy. :blink: |

Failed ironically probably because you were not being greedy enough, which may in fact by circular logic prove that you are not greedy. But only when you do not succeed at being greedy. Capiche? |

You cannot claim not to be greedy, you can only claim you have failed at being greedy.

So, if succesful I'm greedy, if not, I'm not greedy. If I'm not then I'm happy not being greedy by being less than completely greedy in the first instance. But if I succeed then I become greedy because the non-greediness of my initial actions are ultimately aimed at increasing my money which is greedy. It's fighting greed with greed. Owning 100% of something you shouldn't own 100% of is greedy. So combatting greed with my greed almost balances it out, making my greed less unreasonable to stomach. If my non-greed is successful it automatically becomes greed because I win? |
Re: Anyone fancy a beer?
I'm really sorry, but I have to bail too. That's the only reason I'm here at the moment. I am up to my eyes in work (plus pre-holiday work panic) and am seeing a client at 7pm.
Definitely another time. x |
