I'm about to pick up a bottle of red.

I'm in the fortunate position that I have a very good friend who lives only a couple of hundred yards away who had never cooked a meal in his life until last week (he's in his twenties).

Now he has discovered a passion for cooking and invites our entire friends group for dinner every evening. He cooks quite well too, if a little unambitiously.

Bottle, what's this A bottle business? A Box mate, a box is the way forward.

I might just go for that, but it is a gift!
Other drinks will be consumed

Why do I look at the watch thread? You know about "wrist time"? Now there's "wrist presence."

"I'm loving it, has great wrist presence, lots of people at work have asked about it."

I've had watches as gifts before. They were wrist presents.

I got dragged around the biggest shopping mall in the world by the ex. I bought a cup of coffee.

That is all.

Sawgrass Mills, FL back in those days.

There was another one that claimed to be bigger in Canada, it had more enclosed space. Well it would, even the parking lot was covered as everything else was frozen solid.

I chatted-up the owner of the Canadian one.

Err.. while she was still on her honeymoon.

I thought about stopping to help 2 helpless [and fit looking] girls with a flat tyre on a Fiat 500

yesterday.

1.Nowhere to sensibly park a small truck on the A3 at Roehampton.

2.It was getting late and I still had a Wimbledon delivery to do.

I wasn't hurrying later when I took the mirror off a Toyota in Mitcham,just sloppy driving.

Nine?

ribblecycles are doing a 10% off everything that expires midnight. I registered some 20minutes ago but haven't gotten my email confirmation! so frustrating. i could lose out on a potential discount of £6.80 off the price of some wheels! #firstworldproblems.

Back in after a night out in Shrewsbury.

I've had lots of beer

Impressive. I tend to be only able to notice one single thing first, and then another single thing second so on and so forth. Well, actually I suppose I notice two things first, but in one general area.

Boxes are a little further on than they were in the 1980s, when the contents were awful and proceeded vinegarwards shortly after opening; apart from the obvious risk of alcoholism due to not having the natural rhythm of drinking imposed by periodic cork removal there's not much to complain about. Unexpectedly finding yourself wrapped around 3 litres of plonk can derail an otherwise well-planned drinking session.
