A Fine Figure of a Man

After a relatively quiet weekend he has resolved that the week should be somewhat less quiet. It kicked off on Monday night in Birmingham out on the pop with Gay George (Not Actually Gay) and the lovely Dennis.

Gay George (Not Actually Gay) and he kicked matters off with a quick bottle of wine each before Dennis turned up from work and so were in pretty shoddy order before the evening really got started. Matters did not get much better as the boys hurled the wine down whilst poor Dennis just tried to stop them from doing anything really bad.

She was aided in that task by our hero passing out at the dinner table. Notwithstanding this he managed to rouse himself sufficiently to join in the chorus of "Happy Birthday" on the table next door before plummetting back into the welcoming arms of Morpheus.

Now as we all know he is a fine figure of a man and never more so when slumped unconscious at a table dribbling (are we shure about this? - ed) and true to form one of the girls on the "Happy Birthday" table was so impressed with him that she tried to extract his room number from him. Fortunately for her he was so blotto he couldn't recall.

The original plan had been for this to be a quiet evening as Gay George (Not Actually Gay) had a presentation scheduled to deliver to his board at 1030 on Tuesday morning but fortunately that had been re-scheduled during the course of Monday to 1600.

With our hero awaking Tuesday morning in a shocking state it is impossible to adequately sum up his amusement when Gay George (Not Actually Gay) called to inform him that a) he was in a similarly poor state and b) he had just been told his presentation had been re-re-scheduled back to 1030. My how he laughed.

Somehow the pair survived the day before meeting up for a de-brief over some Mojitos post-work (and pre-drive home).

Today was enlivened by him snapping his glasses (again) before leaving the flat. As luck would have it he appears to have exactly the same prescription as Dennis so he is now wearing her spare glasses. They don't fit and aren't really very masculine so he looks a berk but at least he can see.
