The Beigel Fairy's Been

I went to Brick Lane last night with the department I work in at one of my clients. Their annual team-building trip to the German offices got cancelled because of budgetary reasons so they decided to flick the finger at the bean-counters and take themselves out instead, and I got towed along in their wake.

I like going to Brick Lane for a few reasons - the obvious food and drink being top of the list, but I also like it because my auto-pilot regime for getting home seems to include a trip to the 24-hour beigel shop at the north end of the road.

As a result I found I'd left myself a lovely present of a big fat beigel in the fridge this morning, rammed to the hilt with really tender salt beef and enough mustard to blow an elephant's nose off. So I quickly thanked myself for my drunken thoughfulness, then scoffed it for breakfast.

Yum yum.

I Just Lost The Game

After my longest winning streak of about a year, I just lost The Game. :-(

If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, here's the rules...

RULE 1: You are playing The Game.
RULE 2: Whenever you think about The Game, you lose.
RULE 3: Loss must be announced.
