I wrote you a speech to deliver at your binge drinking event. I have posted, accordingly. I am only sorry that I am not able to attend... thankfully... Rioja comes in those convenient plastic bags which one may hang from a drip feed unit. I shall win through... as I have done before. I asked the last doctor if there was any chance of me getting YMCA... I think you may know the famous song by The Village People.... He didn't seem to find it funny... but he was a lot more considerate when I told him that "I was in The Navy" Off to watch a bit of Rugby... with, as it happens, a fine friend called "Ms Rioja" very good curvy exterior, if slightly green , but red blooded inside and absolutely delicious. Goes down well... as they say, apparently, in Barnsley. As I lie, one legged on my futon, awaiting the TV coverage of the Rugby… I wrote you a speech to deliver at your binge drinking event.

As it turns out I will be manhandling a wheelie bag of roughly the same size and weight as myself to, around and from Court during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as Counsel is apparently desperately in need of my assistance. As the wheelie bag is far too declasse (just imagine the accent) for the Cafe Royal, and the Harp is not near the Court -> Tube route, I am very unlikely to be part of the wandering horde of drunk bloggers. My own detective efforts having so far ended in failure, any info gained on Pupilblogger's status gratefully received. Nearly Legal regrets…

Unfortunately, I got an ASBO the other day for not cutting my hedge - despite reminders from the Police Community Support Officers who 'attended' to advise me of the need to do same. Accordingly, I am now confined to barracks for 14 days and may not 'attend' or otherwise disport myself at any establishment selling intoxicating liquors. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is less exciting. I have decided to get a new heart and will be 'attending' at a hospital of BUPA's choice to undergo a heart and lung transplant.... OK... That is absurd... ... the truth of the matter is that I was crossing the road with five chickens late last night and they attacked me. Have you see the size of these new mutant, globally warmed, chickens? Three feet tall... like raptors.... I just could not fight all of them off. I have never been hen pecked... but last night was truly shocking... One of them ate my right leg...and ordered some fries from KFC to accompany it. OK.... None of these things happened... Think of me, mes braves... in some corner of a foreign field lies Charon..... bloodied but unbowed.... It is with great regret that I have to announce that I will not be able to attend.
