Stags and Headaches...

Fantastic night last night, some pub food, a few beers, a dodgy club and some excellent company. What a great bunch of guys: Ant, Paul, Matthew, John, Gary, Andy, Andy, Craig, Fabien, Dave, Simon and John. And only two weeks to go now...

I Want to Ride My...

Shiny new bike. I really like it a lot (though this may wear off when I have to cycle to work in the rain)...!

Anti-Sociable...

I really am more of a party guest than a host: good at chat, banter, not getting off with the host's girlfriend (though I have been known to spill the odd drink). But being responsible for creating an atmosphere for guests and friends to enjoy, just leads to endless worry...

And hosting a wedding and stag type event just magnifies that in a big way. Stupid given the fact that people attend because they really want to, and even more stupid given the fact that I absolutely love the company of friends I don't get to see them as often as I would like. But who said these things were ever logical...

However, at this point, with only three weeks to go, I am now really looking forward to the day, and one of the reasons is because of all these people who are coming along. It is really fantastic and I am really more happy than I would care to let on ...

Photographic Memory...

I haven't got one, as such... it's just I seem to be good at remembering photographs and images. I sometimes struggle to remember the place, the people, the time; but I can almost instantly recall a photograph was taken at that instant.

And yes, we see the same image more times than we see the real life event, but I can remember an image after seeing it just once. Having never discussed this with anyone, I don't know if this is common or just me... ... ...

A gratuitous (and easily memorised) image:
