I BROUGHT MY MAN ALONG

Jane had hers in a headlock looking slighly scared. Adi had hers on a tight leash. Indeed many of the ladies there had brought their young men with them to entertain and be charming. Sarah on the other hand had raided the store window at John Lewis and brought along the sportswear display model.

TEACH US AGAIN

Whilst some people entertained their tables with witty stories and funny jokes, others reverted to more obvious means. The picture below shows the old turkey tea towel joke that everyone learns at school being wheeled out once more to some polite titters. But how comes we all learnt this at school? Well as the teacher below demonstrates, there's more to education than passing exams. A few life-skills are necessary to prepare our kiddies for those moments when they're at a dinner party and the conversation dies....

I'M GORGEOUS

Binary man was "on" for most of the evening as he tried to convince everyone (including his wife) that he was actually a male model who could get away with wearing brown cord suits in downtown London.

When he thought no one was looking he treated some of his friends to some one-on-one action with their cameras. Claiming that he had been taught by the master, Alan maserfully took shot after shot of himself to prove that he had actually managed to last the evening without falling asleep.

His wife however was despairing, crying "Get a life Alan, and preferably one that doesn't involve living in some squalid European city thousands of miles from anyone we know." Unfortunately this passed over the great man's head. Binary man had reached point zero.

 

WHAT HAPPENED THERE?

Well the evidence seemed clear enough. A full glass of whisky on the table and no Shirl in sight. Could it be that whisky drinking competitions have been consigned to the "something I did when I was young and foolish" dustbin?

Speaking of young and foolish, the photo below shows the point at which John and Alan were testing the theory that whisky was also a good hair dye. John who regularly dyes his hair jet black for the ladies said "It's better than Guiness. With that you have to drink so much it seeps out of your brain and oxidises your hair roots." Nice.
