I get back from the states that day so won't be around, although that is not a reason not to hold it on that day, the traffic is though.

It's also the day after the Sevens - too many fragile heads............. (curiously, I find that even people who don't actually go to the Sevens drink more than usual that weekend).

Would you like a job at my place? We are full of people who have the ability to say no without offering any alternative suggestion or idea - you'd be ideal.

I am not going to Long's. Awful place. Would rather avoid Fibber's too.

Lounge Bar by Ruth's Chris in The Marina, assuming not a DJ night? The Underground?

Yes, I've been. It's good, outside will be quite nice now as well, but more comfy seats, although inside there are some decent size tables to replicate our usual huddle.

What an awful idea, especially when you can comfortably pay someone else to do a better job and provide employment to boot.

I dislike housework intensely.

You're killing me. Name the song, I can sing chunks of it but not enough. Please.
