James, Nick and Nathan on fine form later in the evening. |

Max got so overexcited at being let out to play that he accidentally ate his own tie. |
Nick Sherwin, Izzy Israel, Mat Thomas and Dave Butler later in the evening. At this point, someone decided we should try
a shot of absinthe (probably after watching Moulin Rouge, in the hope that Kylie would appear) so Georges obliged after
many dire warnings. With all the palaver of soaking teaspoons of sugar in the drink, then lighting and caramelizing it
before mixing it back into the glass, letting it burn for a second etc. - it was more like watching Ready Steady Cook
than having a drink. |
Max got a taxi back to Highgate after the meal - going home to Filipa being more appealing than sharing a room with Nick,
Mat and James for some reason... |
|
Dave and James outside the restaurant as we waited for the limo. It was 2am by the time we left, so going on to another
bar was out. |
|
Back in Warlingham, Nathan broke out the brandy and we settled down for a few hours of putting the world to rights - quietly,
as Vanessa, Ruth and the children were asleep upstairs. |
Outside PJ's at 2am on Sunday morning. Everywhere else had closed on Fulham Road by this point, so we hung around and
waited for our limo to arrive. |
