Had a pitcher of 77 Sunset strip http://www.coctails.org/77-sunset-strip, sizzling steak, burning shrimp and chicken legs last night shared between two good friends. Ordered my first bottle of champagne http://www.drinksdirect.co.uk/acatalog/jacobs_creek_sparkling_rose.html and to top it off a taquila shot on the house (courtesy of the cheerful barman Tony).

Friend speak:"Let's make this the most memorable b'day you ever had buddy! You gotto remember it!"
Me speak: "I would've remembered it for sure, if not for all this liqour being emptied into me!"

But amazing as it is, last night, we were left standing after all and today I am at work as I write this down. The stupor has passed mostly in my case. The friend seems to have an ill fate and has dozed off at his desk.
