Even though my timing clashed with a "happy hour" (with free beer) at BIWA, and getting the consolidated statutory accounts ready there were a lot of people who turned up to the pub. I got to catch up with my namesake and found out that he's also going to see The Streets. A damn good night all round really.
Edit to add
There are nights when you really need to chat (and these seem to be more likely after a beer!)... and Thursday was one of those nights. Luckily (for who I'm not entirely sure?!) Misty is 5 hours behind so we had a nice long chat about the state of the world. We also worked out some details about my trip there this autumn.

Friday was busy and it didn't help that I was still a little delicate from the previous evening! I was Good™ and went straight home from work and got an early night.
Saturday I cleared some of the living room. All my DVDs and some of the CDs are now boxed/crated.
Saturday evening Leon, Sis and I went to The Albert for some karaoke goodness. It was Leon's last free Saturday before he heads off to Sweden so we made it a Leon tribute night. Pete announced to the pub that Leon was a Thai lady-boy bride and would be heading off to Thailand so it is perhaps just as well this will be his last visit there. I was
Sis was on top form. The three girls who sit in "our" seats shall forever more be known as "weight watchers" from now on. She also sang beautifully as she always does.
Leon was in "danger" mode... after Pete's announcement it didn't seem to matter what Leon did - there's only so much embarrassment to be had! He sang a bunch of songs he'd never tried before.
Leon and I left the pub in the small hours. Not only could I not walk past the dodgy burger van at Romford station; I went back for second helpings! This was severely regretted on Sunday morning when I thought one of my cats had snuck into my bedroom during the night and crapped in my mouth.
My stupidity didn't stop at gastronomic suicide - when we finally got home (about 02:00ish) I had a pressing need to play Guitar Hero. After a couple of failed attempts on the hard level, I progressed my bassist's career on Medium until 04:30ish. Daylight was already streaming through the gap in the curtains when I crawled up the stairs and into bed.
Sunday I went to the parental abode for Dinner. Dad and I caught the last part of the Grand Prix and after dinner we started series three of West Wing.
There was not, at any time during those 4 days, any Wowing done. This is perhaps as shocking, if not more, to me as it is to you.
