One of these..



I may have been very drunk.

GF laughed lots the morning that arrived....Even more when I banged my knee.
That would work as a cheap C3PO outfit.
WTF did you buy a zentai suit for?

Split up with the girlfriend - took my 03 Boxster 2.7 in for a service that weekend, walked out the owner of a new Boxster S. It did cheer me up though!

Good point, that reminds me - we got back from the airport at about 8am and couldn't sleep, so we went down town for a wander about. Ended up flying out to Prague that evening.....
