It'll be Glenmorangie and whatever sounds accompany the TV programme we choose to watch once I've picked the wife up from her boozy Friday lunch that turned into an afternoon and subsequently the evening.

Oh haven't seen the bar open for a while now.

Water (as I have a marathon on Sunday) and silence as I am contemplating doing some work that came in at 16:30 today! Considering they must have had this ready for me for at least 2 weeks and they know I have a full weekend and am away until Friday next week, it has been most welcome!

Rant over.

About to go to the pub for a beer, and listening to A Question of Sport on the telly.

I am posting tonight as the reason we have the Absent Friends toast was killed in Malaysia five years ago today.

So, I raise a glass tonight for Marco Simoncelli, Ciao 58.

Do you know, I never knew the reason for the Absent friends; it just seemed a decent sentiment on a Friday night, with a weekend ahead, usually full of promise for good times with family and/or friends smile

It is rather humbling to know of it's origins Mr M beer

I do try krallicious but the vagaries of the hours I work can mean some blanks on a Friday, unless some kind soul does the honours for me biggrin Last Friday I was in the office flat out from 5.00 am until 9.15 pm and dinner was a Chinese takeaway at my desk frown Stupendous deal though, signed-up on Wednesday night after an all day stint on Sunday and late night Monday and Tuesday thumbup

Binned the Floyd (for now) this is my favourite "suicide" song (if one can have such a thing) great outro music

Those drums for the last minute biggrin

Don't hold your breath, Champers. No one ever responds when I recommend The Nile Song.

But it's the bits. Pink Floyd letting their hair down.

I should be at home enjoying beer and music but I'm currently on a train despondently picturing arriving home at ten to one.

Absolutely. Calling in when I'm passing in a car for work won't do it as I'm against the clock. It will have to be a special.

Looking forward to it already.

Enjoying a lovely Asahi while listening to Alexander Rybak - the chappy who won Eurovision a few years back.

If you know you're not going to be able to open the Bar before 7, pm me and I'll open up. I know where the spare key is.
