    Hello all, a virtual pint of Strongbow to accompany the real-life one I am indulging in. I cannot believe I survived six months without a single cider. Claus, I hate you! Have a good meet mate.

    Cheeeeeeers all *waves at Dorrise and Kirsty* I'll have a cup of tea please. Daarth, I used that line once and it got me a really good job. I think I said something like *I don't mind working hard, but I'm so lazy,I like to work smart. No point in wasting time if you can finish up and go home early.*

    And I'll have a Cardinal - isn't that a Swiss beer? - in honour of Roger's tremendous semi-final win at Wimbledon this afternoon.

    "the bottle of your best red" I had a couple of glasses of a "not the best red" last night on top of my usual consumption and am paying the price now.

    Buying cheap wine is seldom a good idea. Okay for a backyard barbecue, perhaps, if you have only a couple of glasses, but as a rule good wine not only tastes better but has less of an effect. Of course, that may be because people drink less if it costs more!!

    Sorry, not much time for the VT pub today. Busy with work and now have to jump on the train to EDI for a business networking event at 6. The event is in a pub, so no need to feel sorry for me. May not even take my business cards. All I really need are beer tokens & train tickets.

    I didn't buy it, a friend had it in the house and I just sort of fell into a couple of glasses of it.
