    Unreliable drinking buddies

    I was just about to leave to go for beers in the City when I get a call from the guy I was supposed to meet. He’d just got home when his wife said, “I thought you were going out drinking. There’s no dinner; I’m going out too.” Bastard, I was going to try and sell some consultancy to him. He's off on his holidays from next week.



    Damn it. I’m going out anyway. I'll be in the Majestic Inn if anyone fancies a pint.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    I'd be down like a shot if I knew roughly where the Majestic Inn was (what city for a start).

    Also, to avoid having to ask every guy I see to drop their trousers, what do you look like roughly?

    edit: Is it the Majestic Hotel in Cromwell Road, West London? That's literally round the corner from where I live!

        sometimes, looking like your avatar can be a disadvantage.

                That is a fellow called Catweazle. A bumbling wizard who escaped from the Normans by falling into a lake.
                He emerged in 1960's England where he though that modern technology was all magic.
                It was a television series

                Catweazle
