Cobra lessons

Three days, two parties, one mother of all hangovers!

That’s it I have had my fill of Indian meals for the rest of this year, and after the Karate Instructors meal yesterday, I have had it with drink.. for at least the next day or two.. maybe.

One fairly valuable lesson learnt during the party last night; when having consumed several bottles of Cobra, don’t attempt to MSN people from your iPhone.  The co-ordination required to select the right people and send intelligible messages is severely impaired!

Three more days of work and one afternoon of giving an armful (practically) of blood is all that now seperates me from the festive cheer. 

Now if you don’t mind, I have a keyboard which looks deceptively comfortable and inviting.  Zzzzz…

A rush of drink to the head

The Christmas party rush has started! 

This Saturday just gone was the GKR Christmas Party which, as predicted, was a somewhat drunken affair.  Of course all the Sensei’s conveniently forgot that we were due to do grading the next morning.  Next day; 3 hours of trying to perform flawless karate moves in front of 200′ish students AND assess them proved a little too much for some of us!

The party was good though, and I proved I still had the power to bore people in less time than it takes to knock back a short.  Ah, the old skills are still there ;)

Department party on Friday afternoon, which will consist of Curry and copious amounts of alcoholic beverages and then the Sensei Curry and Beer night on Sunday!   Think I will look like a drunken telly-tubby come the Monday, Uh-Oh!
